What if Anthropic just shrugged, dissolved the company and open-sourced all of the Opus weights? Could this harm OpenAI and advance AI in a reasonable way?
Look I know it's an insane idea. I'm just curious what the most unhinged response to this might be.

It's not an "implementation detail." Either obeying contract law subjects you to being designated a supply-chain risk, or it does not, and that decision has ramifications outside this "implementation."
Irrelevant. The president holds all the cards, he is above the law and you are a supply chain risk if you ask anything else other than “how high” when you are told to jump. Laws or contracts are things in the past. The most a contract can do is define your limits and obligations, not your rights or privileges,
This is provably not true. The fastest way for this to become true is to believe it, or at least to parrot it, even in a facetious way.

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?
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.

> I would love to understand in more detail what kind of use cases we’re talking about. The whole point is that the use-case does not matter; either you allow the government to do everything they want, either you don’t.
either you allow a democratically elected government to do everything they want that is legal, or you insert private corporate decision-making into every government decision which is untenable
I suppose the USA's frenemies will jump on the occasion and use the incredible opportunity offered to them in a silver platter.
So, DoD has done what it said it would. And OpenAI has jumped on the opportunity. I'm curious what'll openai signatories on notdivided.org do now - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47188473 Remain undivided in spirit while grinding for OpenAI?

It might be that this admin does not have the capacity to reason about second or third order effects. But given that what would typically be red lines for previous administrations have been brazenly crossed without consequences, why would they bother?
