This is awkward? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47188473

So they agreed to the exact same clauses that Anthropic put forward but with OpenAI instead? So it wasn't about those principles making them a supply chain risk? They're just trying to punish Anthropic for being the first ones to stand firm on those principles?

I’m sure a big donor just used the US gov as a bludgeon to destroy their competition

I don't see how OpenAI employees who have signed the We Will Not Be Divided letter can continue their employment there in light of this. Surely if OpenAI had insisted upon the same things that Anthropic had, the government would not have signed this agreement. The only plausible explanation is that there is an understanding that OpenAI will not, in practice, enforce the red lines.

SA is a real weasel lol. Acted like he stood behind Anthropic's principles just to announce the deal with DoW a few hours later.

Sam Altman not being consistently candid or truthful would be the shock of the century.

Didn't the safety-conscious employees already leave when OpenAI fired Sam Altman and then re-hired him?

In my mind the only people left are those who are there for the stocks.

So they agreed to the same red lines that had earlier led to the fallout with Anthropic? Kind of strange.

Sam saw Anthropic was getting too competitive. So he called his buddies in the gov to knock them down a peg.
