#183Would love nothing more than for sama to refuse government contracts in solidarity. Free enterprise isn’t free
Oh yeah he's refusing out of solidarity alright :eyeroll: https://x.com/sama/status/2027578652477821175?s=20 Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.

My first thought here was that Anthropic just became the first call for Europe to discuss AI services and infrastructure. I wonder if a US company has ever wholesale emigrated before?
Please note that mass surveillance of Europeans is fine from Anthropic's statement.

You mean, stole it from Google’s internal labs.
Google is the Xerox Parc of AI, but unlike Xerox they decided to enter the ring with Gemini which is now quite good.

What this confirms is that it was never about Anthropic's terms. The administration has a bigger issue with Anthropic and that was just an excuse to ditch them. What exactly the issue was I'm not sure. Maybe OAI paid off the right people.

If they say "we define mass surveillance as flagging terrorist-looking people automatically with the Family Guy approach, but it's ok if a person types a name to look it up" then you can say "we agreed not to have mass surveillance by AI" or "that's still mass surveillance and we disagree with it".
Give Sam Altman's prior experience with worldcoin, I'm inclined to think he doesn't give a dime about mass surveillance.
