"They have threatened to remove us from their systems if we maintain these safeguards; they have also threatened to designate us a “supply chain risk”—a label reserved for US adversaries, never before applied to an American company—and to invoke the Defense Production Act to force the safeguards’ removal. These latter two threats are inherently contradictory: one labels us a security risk; the other labels Claude as…

That's a shame. They might at least continue to work together to spy on foreigners. I don't understand the fuss anyway, what do claude models do that gpt and gemini can't?

it's more the way they do them.. you've used them right?

I’m just laughing at the possibility of it he US military being forced to use Chinese open source AI models because every US model provider refuses to work with them.

Could the NSA use a national security letter to get a copy of a major private LLM?

a letter??

I don’t see a contradiction here. If control is out of the hands of decision makers, that’s a supply chain risk . Were it not for that, the service is seen as critical to national security. I dunno, safeguard seems like a weasel word here. It’s just reserving control to one party over another. It’s understandable why the DoD(W) wouldn’t like that.

I'm pretty sure you (and others) are trying to apply some kind of guess at the "supply chain risk" designation, but it means something specific.

Here's the term defined in an official context:

I 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.

The team that handles their PR has done an amazing job in the last 9 months

let's see...

> Populist nationalism + “infallible” redemptive leader cult

> Scapegoated “enemies”; imprison/murder opposition/minority leaders

> Supremacy of military / paramilitarism; glorify violence as redemptive

> Obsession with national security / nation under attack

TBH could be worse.

Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Come to EU guys, we'll prepare a warm welcome!

EU won't do 996

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is this the same Administration that reversed a previous block, and allowed NVIDIA to sell H200 to China?

The Purpose of a System is WHAT IT DOES!
