OpenAI step in to work with defence department on stuff so questionable that another company took a public stance to distance itself from?

Myself, I’ve always “followed the money” when the current administration has taken public positions on things from media company mergers to data centres etc. So a bit of me wonders how much of the “anthropic is a threat to national security” is genuine and how much is about getting another company into lucrative defence contracts instead?

Trump family has major investments in data centers etc and is heavy benefiting from OpenAI footprint but they recently declined an investment opportunity in anthropic citing it’s political leanings

What does domestic surveillance have to do with national security objectives or keeping denizens of the U.S. safe (that is, the ones who are not lucky enough to be in its cosseted ruling class)?

True, but I'm talking about the autonomous AI weapon question

Anthropic must be in some way better in that they do have some red lines and do truly stand on them (and if they didn’t, like every other company doesn’t seem to, we’d never have even known)?

anthropic previously agreed to deploy their models in this context with nothing but a contract to enforce their red lines -- they even disabled their safety systems!

per announcement, openai can include safety systems of their own making, including ones to prevent their red lines from being crossed. that seems to be a more robust solution, including in the face of an untrustworthy government

Notice that Anthropic doesn't support spying on Americans specifically - spying on anyone else is fine. Can't spy on three specific 300m people, but spying on the other 7.7B totally ok.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Unfortunately it's the same people asking for both, so you should be wondering at whom those weapons are really intended to be pointed.
