Don't compare general intelligence to bioweapons. A bioweapon cannot defend against or reverse the effects of another bioweapon.

I don’t see why you think that AGI can reverse the effects of another AGI?

> Surely there’s a big difference between Anthropic selling the government direct access to its models, and an unrelated contractor that sells pencils to the government and happens to use Anthropic’s services to help write the code for their website. Yes, this is the part where I acknowledge that it might be overreach in my original comment, but it's not nearly as extreme or obvious as the debate rhetoric is implying…

MIGHT be overreach to call this a supply chain risk?!? That is absolutely ludicrous.

To quote one of the greatest movies of all time: That’s just, like, your opinion, man.

The USA showed itself to be a Command Economy that uses 'private enterprise' as a fascade of legitimacy during Covid. Without government spending, employment, and contracts, the USA would be net negative growth. Now the DoD, who are by far the largest budgetary expense for the tax payer, wants us to believe they don't have a better Ai than current industry? That is a double sword admission; either they are exposing t…

This is the case for every government/nation in the world. The difference between communism and capitalism, is that the Politburo in capitalism allows the natural selection of elites based on their performance on an open economy. At least that was the case until 2011.

I'd prefer to see board (or executive) level signatories over lay employees -- the people who can enforce enterprise policy rather than just voice their opinions -- but this is encouraging to see nonetheless. I can't help but notice that Grok/X is not part of this initiative, though. I realize that frontier models are really coming from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google, but it feels like someone is going to give in to t…

I don’t have any particular insights, but I’m curious to learn the antitrust implications of how the execs can/cannot coordinate.

It sounds like you think that Anthropic is the first company regulating the use of their product. This is not a novelty whatsoever.

No, but I find it obnoxious as an end user.

Then don’t create a mass surveillance program on Americans and you shouldn’t have to worry about it ;)

Or just reincorporate in Finland or something. If the US is going to be this hostile to business, time to gtfo.

Well, it looks like OpenAI will be working with the Pentagon: https://www.axios.com/2026/02/27/pentagon-openai-safety-red-... My personal guess is that Sam Altman said he'd let policy violations go without a complaint and Dario Amodei said he wouldn't.

Shame. Although I guess Altman has now fully given up the “for the good of humanity” schtick.

Why are the signing employees (at least the anonymous ones) trusting the creators of this website? What if it was set up by someone who wanted to gather a list of all the dissidents who would silently protest or leave the companies or whatever? Do you know whom you are going to hold accountable if it turns out these folks don't delete your verification data, or share it with your employer, or worse? Also, another war…

I think it's an important call-out though. Can never be too safe in this landscape.
