This is why I love Anthropic.
It is an existential threat to them to stay true to what they stand for. And they are unshaken on it. In today's world, where principles, honour, and pride have no meaning, this goes unappreciated.
it’s official - Anthropic just refused the Pentagon’s demands, dario’s statement is doesn’t fuck around:
- “these threats do not change our position: we cannot in good conscience accede to their request.” - dario
- he described the pentagons efforts to force him to enable claude for mass surveillance and autonomous killing weapons
- dario’s response: mass surveillance is not democratic and Claude isn’t good enough to enable autonomous weapons - we won’t cave
- dario will help governmenr transition to a NEW provider if they choose to blacklist anthropic.
fucking wild - fair play for sticking by their code of honor.
