Just to put things in the right perspective to those who are not aware, Amazon heavily invests in Anthropic [0] and AWS is a partner on project Glasswing (Select companies that used Mythos to find critical vulnerabilities in major open source and critical infrastructure) [1]

So I don't think there is anything sinister here, I would use Hanlon's razor [2] here...

To give you further perspective, Amazon has a $50B stake in OpenAI and a $5B stake in Anthropic.

If things were flipped, I highly doubt Amazon would be running straight to the feds.

Or in my favourite formulation: “Never assume conspiracy where mere incompetence will do”.
