Exported all my chats and deleted my ChatGPT account yesterday. The current administration not liking you is the strongest signal I could possibly have to go all in on a particular company.

Thanks, I had deleted the app from all my devices but not deleted the account. I have deleted my account now too.

Eh, they are all morally indefensible.

Anthropic had no problems to do business with the current administration until now. Are we to pretend it was all for happy purposes until now?

Yeah how could Anthropic do business with the democratically elected government of the United States?

Because it's not a military asset? It's a privately-owned asset.

Are you under the impression that the military is submitting Anthropic API calls?

Whatever model the military is using is as much of an asset as the F35 they purchased.

Depending on their agreements, you could argue it's a rented asset. Doesn't change any calculus.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Every action has an opposite reaction. The DoD has made itself riskier to do business with, and future contacts will have to price that risk in.

The DoD has been rather consistent that they will decide what to do with a product sold to them, not some random vendor. There is nothing extra to "price in".

The "extra" is that the government is now attempting to unilaterally renegotiate contracts, and if the contractor disagrees, not only do they terminate the agreement but they restrict how other companies can work with you.

Of course. Hegseth said it, there is no way they could back out. Looking 'weak' is the worst possible thing for this admin. They would rather look childish, stupid, and evil, as long as they don't look 'weak'.

Especially 'weak' things like 'caring about people'.
