#22Strange times. I truly feel these are the last days of our Republic. Especially if more aren't willing to take a stand.

#23I admire Anthropic for sticking to their principles, even if it affects the bottom line. That’s the kind of company you want to work for.
It's also a very clear differentiator for them relative to Google, Facebook, and OpenAI, all of whom are clearly varying degrees of willing to sell themselves out for evil purposes.

#29So they are such a risk to national security that no contractor that works with the federal government may use them, but they're going to keep using them for six more months? So I guess our national security is significantly at risk for the next six months?
Dont forget Nvidia technology was condsidered too sensitive to be exported to China....until the Trump administration decided they could export it if they paid a 10% export tax.
