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.

Now you're worried? Come on. He is using the Bully Pulpit to try and pressure other companies to toeing the line. At least someone had the balls to tell them to get fucked instead of kowtowing.

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?

I mean maybe, but not because the president can decide to cancel a contract with a vendor. That seems to be a pretty reasonable power for the president to have.

You cant be serious. We are well past democracy and deep into fascism. Ask yourself, how many of the 14 points do you recognize?

This is the Truth Social post, which the article quotes but doesn't quite convey the flavor of: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1161445529692... > THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military. > The Leftwing nut…

I mentioned his insane threats to Netflix earlier and tried to Google an article that referenced it. None of them linked or even broadly quoted it. There's been a concerted effort to hide the fact that the US President is posting insane shit every day for years.

You really think it’s him tapping away those Troots?

Might be the best thing to happen to Anthropic from a PR perspective and possibly IPO.

That depends on how aggressively the current administration follows through on the threats to punish them. The SEC could deny IPO registration, for example.

Does anyone know (more precisely) what the military wanted to use Claude for and what Anthropic was resisting?

This might actually make Anthropic very popular among those who do not support the current US presidency, a significant market share.

Take notes other AI companies. This is a totally fine line to draw and it's not even that high bar.

Dont allow systems to be built with your AI that automate mass surveillance or automate kill decisions.
