Anthropic Is Accused of Faking the AI Panic

Is the company that warns loudest about AI danger quietly benefiting from the fear it spreads? Anthropic has been accused of overhyping AI risk to push regulation that conveniently disadvantages its rivals.

In this clip, Patrick Bet-David breaks down the accusation, who actually benefits when Washington cracks down on AI, and whether the "safety" pitch is really a business strategy in disguise.
