    I missed when sucking up to the Trump administration and echoing Cold War style nationalism was “fair”. If that’s the case, OpenAI’s behavior is fair.

    It’s just capitalism. Anthropic pushed against the administration and now they are about to be branded as “supply chain risk”. OpenAI bent over and are going to get billions in funding that they sorely need (and hopefully don’t get, let them fail).

    You miss the mark though: Anthropic only praised the administration, but that’s just words to give the Twitter pedo in chief a pat on the head. OpenAI actually signed a contract and they are providing their service. Massive difference.

      They both signed the contract. They both allegedly hold the exact same set of red lines. One of them just gets to pretend to be the virtuous company with the virtuous capitalist CEO, despite showing tons of red flags that should have you scrambling to be as concerned about them as OpenAI.

      If you read their statement, Good Guy Anthropic is totally cool with

      • Mass surveillance of non-Americans
      • Targeted surveillance of Americans
      • Semi-autonomous bombings
      • Fully autonomous bombings… in the future
      • The exact same Red Scare BS that Sam Altman talks about

        They literally didn’t sign the new contract and now they are getting punished for it. What are you even talking about?

          According to OpenAI, there is no difference between the old contract and the new contract.

          And if you read Dario Amodei’s actual words, he says his preference is to continue working with the Department of “War” and America’s “Warfighters.” You don’t have to defend a man who is this evil, and this much of pro-war Trump suckup.
