A well written and well thought out reason not just the open source community will never accept Anthropic again, but why the rest of the world is abandoning them. TL:DR Anthropic wraps anti-competitive access rules, output restrictions, and regulatory pressure in safety language to build a permission regime moat. Models silently degrade or reroute Al development work, turning safety into sabotage and making tools untrustworthy. Users cannot freely use outputs to train competing open models while Anthropic trains on user data and workflows. Safety frameworks, RSP influence, and access controls favor incumbents, creating intelligence feudalism over user-owned systems. Open source Al preserves sovereignty, competition, inspectability, and independence against centralized permission layers.
