If the government came to you with a written document that promises it will only use your product in a "lawful manner", would you give their product to them and trust them not to use it for evil?
My point is, lawful is meaningless, especially when it comes from any gov't spokesperson.
Cool, we can split hairs and wink wink and know that the DoD will immediately take Claude and surveil US citizens and create autonomous weapon systems. Anthropic knows it so they are losing a 200 million contract and risking the destruction of their company by being labeled a supply chain risk. Mr. Staffer is our her dropping horseshit lies and he knows it. Just like we all know it.
For it to be a lie you'd have to demonstrate that the DoD explicitly told Anthropic that it's models would be used for unlawful activities. Do you think they did that?
One can disagree with @Cje95's position on this topic without calling him a liar.
That's some tedious lawyerly bullshit there man. Drop a slanted/partisan article and act like it's cut and dried crazy from Anthropic because Hegseth and co. are just doing lawful stuff is garbage. I call it a lie. Goes right along with other shit he's posted in the same vein. You equivocate however you like, I'll call it what it is
Nah, your anger is tedious. Try to just see the world as it really is instead of just getting angry all the time.
Besides, both sides are probably gonna chicken out and kiss and make up. And yes, my hypothesis is Anthropic is gonna sacrifice its ethical stance on the altar of government contracts.
Actually if the government wanted to hurt Anthropic they would just cut it off from all of its data bases. These AI companies all want the closely guarded government data from DOD and especially DOE. They just lost both of them like that. The models will degrade while Gemini, OpenAI, and even crappy xAI will be able to advance using the data inputted.
Does it sound reasonable to you that Anthropic would risk the destruction of their company to stop the United States government from using their product in a "lawful" way? Comon man...
