Nice Open-Source Models, Shame If Someone Lobbied

Description

A four-panel zoom meme of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, a smiling man with curly dark hair and round blue-rimmed glasses, photographed outdoors against city high-rises and wearing a navy sweater. White impact-font captions read, panel by panel: "NICE OPEN-SOURCE MODELS" / "IT WOULD BE A SHAME" / "IF SOMEONE" / "LOBBIED AGAINST THEM," with each frame cropping closer until only his eyes, glasses, and grin fill the last cell. Posted around late July 2026, it riffs on accusations that closed-model labs were lobbying Washington against open-weight AI—especially Chinese models—while Nvidia, Meta, and others signed an open-weights letter; Amodei later wrote that Anthropic was not advocating a category ban. The joke is regulatory-capture energy with a friendly smile.
