Of course they do. You would have to be delusional to think that they won't, at some point.
I know the Department of War wanted them to drop some features. Is this the response?

#322This was under duress that government was going to use emergency act to force them anyway.
I kind of wish they had forced the governments hand and made them do it. Just to show the public how much interference is going on.
They say it wasn't related. Like every thing that has happened across tech/media, the company is forced to do something, then issues statement about 'how it wasn't related to the obvious thing the government just did'.

What's "entertaining" is more the speed at which it's happening. It took Google probably 15 years to fully evil-ize. Anthropic ... two? There is no "ethical capitalism" big tech company possible, esp once VC is involved, and especially with the current geopolitical circumstances.
Apparently they got coerced by the current US admin. The department of war in particular, who want to use their products for military applications. Not much room for "safety" there. Then again, the entire US is currently speedrunning an evil build.

#325Public benefit corporations in the AI space have become a farce at this point. They're just regular corporations wearing a different hat, driven by the same money dynamics as any other corp. They have no ability to balance their stated "mission" with their drive for profit. When being "evil" is profitable and not-evil is not, guess which road they'll take...

The acceleration of Anthropic's evil timeline must be from all those AI productivity gains we hear so much about.

> Katie Sweeten, a former liaison for the Justice Department to the Department of Defense, said she’s not sure how the Pentagon can both declare a company to be a supply chain risk and compel that same company to work with the military.
Makes perfect sense!!

In general public benefit corporations and non-profits should have a very modest salary cap for everybody involved and specific public-benefit legally binding mission statements.
Anybody involved should also be prohibited from starting a private company using their IP and catering to the same domain for 5-10 years after they leave.
Non-profits where the CEO makes millions or billions are a joke.
And if e.g. your mission is to build an open browser, being paid by a for-profit to change its behavior (e.g. make theirs the default search engine) should be prohibited too.
