    "AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement."

    So wait a second, the DoW let OpeAI put the exact same clauses in their contract, but Anthropic is a supply chain risk? What is going on?

      I get the feeling they didn't like Anthropic from the start for whatever reason and just found excuses to dump them and find an alternative provider. There's also the possibility the DoW will still have its way and this is possibly only a statement for the public.

      P.S I'm not political (no left/right drama), just speculative.

      Because there are only two options really, anthropic and openai. Gemini is a year behind. Gov had no more options after those two.

      Sam went second so he can obviously use the entire situation to warn the govt about designating all AI companies supply chain risk

      The difference is how much money each CEO has contributed to Trump’s campaign.

      What do you think could be going, seriously?

      Obviously Altman agreed to whatever they asked him and is lying that the DoW is cool about the red lines.

    They know Sam has few scruples and will go for the money if the DoW says jump. These clauses mean zilch if Sam is involved

    OpenAI was founded as an ethical AI research nonprofit organization.

      Is Trump still goading OpenAI into transferring SOTA AI to middle eastern countries that do not regard Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion as values and rights?

    human responsibility for the use of force

    So, use but if goes wrong, someone needs to be responsible. Aaaand we know that works very well

    All the ai gov drama is a giant shrug to me. The reality is uncle sam has all the power and whatever comes out of industry sam is gonna sam with just like any other gov.

    Ethics dont exist on the global stage. The privacy ship sailed decades ago. It all looks performative to me across all sides.

    The smart move is to side with gov using some hand wave jutsi about “we have a contract” to get access to sams big nuts. Sam aint gonna respect no contract regardless of what is in. He breaks all laws without consequence for the last 60 odd years.

    Unless people start starving, no revolution is gonna change the status quo here. It is like 9D marketing/branding chess for ai companies

    You guys think American shouldn’t use AI in military at all isn’t understanding their counter party is absolutely all in on AI in theirs
    • jkaplowitz13 minutes ago
      Nobody was advocating for zero AI in the military - certainly not Anthropic. They were fine with all lawful US military use cases except for two: the mass domestic surveillance of Americans and fully autonomous weapons. Whether you agree or disagree with their particular red lines, that's quite far from them trying to keep their product out of the military.

      Nobody is complaining about the government not giving Anthropic a contract. It’s about the unprecedented and outrageous threats to destroy their business if they don’t provide the government with what they demand. There is no national supply risk from Boeing using Claud Code just beacause Anthropic won’t agree to domestically-surviving killbots. The government’s behaviour is overwhelmingly malevolent and terrifying.

      We don't want to support Ai under Trump. We don't even want a department of war.
