Genuine question - what’s wrong with military leveraging modern technologies? They have been doing it for ages. And thanks to this process for example we have now internet. Or what’s inherently wrong with catering to military customer? What’s going on here?

Nothing. And there’s nothing wrong with Anthropic sticking to their principles.

What is wrong, however, is that the retaliatory move to label Anthropic as a supply chain risk is not ok. Further, the timing of it all stinks.

Everyone smells a rat, not just me. Ever heard of “ask the audience”? The crowd is right a HUGE majority of the time.

> The crowd is right a HUGE majority of the time

Even if that's the case, how do you know it's right this particular time?

Also, one can say, crowd huge majority of time makes mediocre decisions at best. Or: crowd can be easily manipulated with intentional propaganda.

We can do all sorts of generalizations that would be generally true. But I got your point, thank you.
