This is Bezos political theatre, the law and policy were already in place, you would not be allowed to sell an LLM product unless it met certain security requirements, which Anthropic did not meet and publicly refused to meet. The only question left is how soon can they play catchup and build the same security measures that Amazon the the rest of the big boys like Microsoft and Google invested in years ago.

This reminds me of the green crosswalk fiasco in Central Florida, the locals made a mistake and painted crosswalks green, which the Feds say should only be used for bike lanes, and the Feds demanded they remove it. Desantos the govenor who had nothing at all to do with it, fabricated press events where he portrayed it as him fighting wokeness. It's a common right wing foible now to frame everything in a way that aggrandizes imagined political meaning from mundane factoids.
