This might actually make Anthropic very popular among those who do not support the current US presidency, a significant market share.
I wonder if a US company has ever wholesale emigrated before?

Despite the complete Archie Bunker energy in that post here is something interesting from the post: "Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow." with major civil and criminal consequences to follow. WTF !!!
What I don't get is why they really want it. I can't think of a worse platform in general to do anything with combat that is, anything in a data-center. I would take the Quake 3 Arena engine on a new ultra insane mode combined with a tiny self hosted model to detect humans, uniforms, vehicle make and model plus a simple Friend or Foe over all the big AI platforms any day. Add an optional feed from an encrypted meshtastic like network to sync nodes using pre-defined Ostiary like commands. Ultra-fast, light-weight on all resources, decentralized.
The enemy could neutralize all the big platforms in one day by simply activating a few dozen of the sleeper agents in the US or a couple High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) deployed by a few stratospheric balloons as China flew over every major military installation in the US. Adding to this having a network dependency to the big platforms from autonomous weapons is an extreme vulnerability. Any design that depends on a central command is a single point of success.
I guess Sama is happy. Also I wonder what's happening with democracy in the US, with this level of presidential control to mess up everything, is US moving towards dictatorship?
You cant be serious. We are well past democracy and deep into fascism. Ask yourself, how many of the 14 points do you recognize? https://ratical.org/ratville/CAH/fasci14chars.html

There are a bunch of submissions on the story (with a few different sources), some with 15+ points, none appeared on the front page. I think we'll see many many dupes. Hopefully the comment threads will be merged eventually.
Would love nothing more than for sama to refuse government contracts in solidarity. Free enterprise isn’t free
Idk who would even want them as a client. They'll change course on you every 4 years at minimum potentially in massive ways that might force you to change your product putting all your other users at risk - and they might just do that to you legislatively, anyway!
Imagine if a private company had developed the nuclear bomb, and said in its terms "This can never be used as a first strike weapon and must only be used as a retaliation against imminent existential attacks on the US homeland". I think a lot of people would have lauded the attempt by a weapon's creators to restrain the destructive potential of their creation. Separately: An opinion piece in the NYT suggested that An…
At this point I'm starting to wonder if the US military has only served to make my life worse, as an American. During my lifetime.
The messaging is not normal, the intent is absolutely abhorrent. With every passing week, the rhetoric coming from him gets more violent: I'm worried.

- domestic mass surveillance,
- autonomous kill decision.
That's it. The reason for the first one is clear: it violate the spirit of the fourth amendment at least.
The reason for the second is that if a kill decision is taken, let's say by an ICE agent who just got told 'im not mad at you' or something similar that would surely enrage him, he is responsible in front of the law. If it's an autonomous drone that shoots on political opponent/protestors, no one is responsible.
I will add that Google and anthropic made their AI play wargames. 93% of the time, their models escalate to the nuclear option.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Does anyone know (more precisely) what the military wanted to use Claude for and what Anthropic was resisting?
Their statement called out automatic weapons targeting and domestic surveillance as two lines they would not cross
