the Mac mini being the rare exception, which was just a little too nerdy (needing your left over keyboard, mouse, and monitor)

If that's a barrier to entry, it's one that is shared by 90% of the (non-laptop) PC market, and it never seemed to bother PC users. It's not like Apple won't happily sell you a keyboard, mouse, and monitor along with your Mac Mini, if that's what you want to do.

it's using horrendous amounts of power and causing untold environmental damage

Comparable to, say, a 787 airliner, whose environmental damage we tolerate without thought or comment simply because we're already used to it.

while maintaining the existing overall parity between the bad guys and the worse guys.

Consider the alternative, then. Anthropic does nothing, and sooner or later OpenAI or some other less responsible company delivers an AI with similar capabilities, but just throws it out to the public without much thought about the consequences. Both the black hats and the white hats start using it, of course, but the black hats have a field day compromising anything and everything before the white hats have a chance to find, fix, and distribute all the necessary patches to defend against all the newfound exploits. Not a great situation to be in, but probably unavoidable at this point unless the white hats are given a head start.

Please, choke on an Iranian nuke.

Please, choke on Bibi's circumcised missile. He's been saying "TWO WEEKS" for several decades.
The former Supreme Leader who was assassinated by America & Israel *specifically* said that Iran was not pursuing nuke weapons and that such were un-Islamic.
Did he mean it? I don't know but I do know that, just like Iraq, no WMDs have been found despite regular inspections.
That's a statement that no good Christian or Jewish leader has ever made and Israel's leaders get very coquettish when asked point blank if they have nukes.
