If they keep persecuting Anthropic as they have, I wouldn't be surprised to see them move offshore. If there's ever been an industry that is mobile, it would be AI.

How is it mobile? Their employees, capital, and hardware is in the US

The next natural move in the modern USA is "exit visas" - you know, like it is in Cuba, and as it was once was behind the entire Iron Curtain. FML, and the entire reason that we moved to the USA was to escape this crap. How did this happen?

There's already an exit tax, not just in the US

Tax is one thing, permission to physically leave is entirely another issue.

In many countries like "Iron Curtain" back in the day, or Cuba now, or China now... yeah, the USA feels close. If Exit Visa does not come up on your search look up Exit Ban.

If we extrapolate Fable 5 export bans, why not ban the US-citizen researchers from export? It's what the CCP does for theirs'.

I know what an exit visa is. Anyone with any contact with cuba, venezuela, china in the past decades would know. To believe that export control = path to exit visa is an insult to those who actually lived those restrictions and ignorant of past export control restrictions.

Well, I escaped an authorization regime. The USA appears to be another one all of a sudden. I cannot believe what is happening, but it is very much incoming. All the signals are here:

One true party: check

Pay to play: check

Manufactured internal culture war: check

Journalism destroyed: check

Scientists defunded: check

I have seen this playbook before. This is what we escaped from. What in the actual f is happening?

US already bans us nationals from working PRC semi, same with TW, there's functionally already talent ban.
