The Fuckwits in Charge Won’t Promise to Stop Screwing With Anthropic

Oh for fuck’s sake. The Trump administration’s collection of regulatory dumpster fires is at it again. Acting FTC chair Holy Bologna (I refuse to learn her actual name) has decided that committing to not destroying Anthropic would be too much like actual governance. Instead, these shitgibbons are maintaining the bureaucratic equivalent of a gun to the head—refusing to say they won’t take “further action” against the AI company because Google had the audacity to invest $2 billion in them.

Here’s the thing, you bunch of clueless PFYs: Anthropic is trying to build Claude, an AI that occasionally manages not to hallucinate itself into a corner, and suddenly they’re public enemy number one because Big Tech money touched them. Meanwhile, OpenAI and Microsoft are practically fucking in the boardroom and these regulatory wankers are too busy inspecting Anthropic’s sock drawer to notice. The hypocrisy is thick enough to choke a fucking server rack.

When directly asked if they’d back the hell off, the administration responded with the political equivalent of “it depends on which way the wind is blowing and whether we’ve had our afternoon nap.” Translation: “We reserve the right to completely cock up your business model if it polls well with the basement-dwelling demographics.” Absolutely classic shithousery from the same people who think cryptocurrency is a retirement plan and that the internet is a series of tubes.

So now Anthropic gets to operate with a regulatory sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, wondering if today’s the day some suit decides to “look into” them again. It’s not about justice or competition—it’s about reminding Silicon Valley that government bastards can ruin your quarter whenever they feel like swinging their microscopic dicks around.

Reminds me of the time a head of department asked if I could “guarantee” the email server wouldn’t “accidentally” delete their messages again. I looked them dead in the eye and said I’d “take it under advisement” while already having written the cron job that would purge their inbox at midnight. That’s exactly what the government is doing here—smiling, nodding, and keeping their finger hovering over the “fuck your company” button, just because they can. The difference is, when I do it, it’s funny. When they do it, it’s just expensive.
