The worst part of this is if they do remove Claude, and probably GPT, and Gemini soon after because of outcry we are going to be left with our military using fucking Grok as their model, a model that not even on par with open source Chinese models.

Apparently part of this whole battle is because Grok isn't up to part to be an acceptable alternative.

Props to Dario and Anthropic for taking a moral stand. A rarity in tech these days.

This is not how the word "moral" should be used in a sentence that also has the name Dario Amodei in it.

Words are cheap. Actions aren't. Dario Amodei is putting his company on the line for what he believes in. That's courage, character and... yes, morality.

As a "foreign national", what's the deal with making the distinction between domestic mass surveillance and foreign mass surveillance? Are there no democracies aside from the US? Don't we know since Snowden that if the US wants to do domestic surveillance they'll just ask GCHQ to share their "foreign" surveillance capabilities?

For now is all we ever have, unfortunately.

I miss the days when the mega-brands whose work I admired, still did such works.

As far as we can tell, OpenAI and Google seem to be ok with it and not resisting. It would be easier for Anthropic's cause if they did.

It's better than actively aiding them. Make them struggle at every turn.

Are you Chinese? If not, I think you should prefer the people defending you to have the best tools to do so.
