I wonder if Anthropic would be willing to trade, say, 30-40% of it's shares to the US government in return for that protection?

Not that the US government should accept a deal that shitty, but just as a way to know if Anthropic really believes that it's in danger from Alibaba.

I think the pleading to Congress for help is performative bullshit to divert the attention of its soon-to-be-bankrupt-and-highly-litigious shareholders.
