I sincerely hope this leads to a mass talent exodus from OAI to Anthropic.

Until now, it was possible to brush off Anthropic’s principles as empty promises — they sounded good, but in some sense they were still untested. Sure, Anthropic had delayed certain features (like giving Claude access to the internet) while they pursued additional safety testing, but it wasn’t clear if that approach would hold when real pressure arrived.

But now the answer is clear: Anthropic is an organization with principles, one that is willing to put their money where their mouth is. Dario will stand up to an administration that has cowed every other notable tech leader into submission, including Sam.

I am personally terrified of what AI will mean for the world. I’m not sure anyone, no matter how principled, can effectively steer the ship. But I do know that Sam and OAI definitively cannot. Sam serves Moloch knowingly — he does so with no reservations.

So, if I have to entrust this ship to anyone, it’d be Dario. He, along with all the incredible folks I’ve gotten to know at Anthropic, are the reason I still have hope for the future.

Idk who needs to hear this (apparently all of twitter) but OpenAI did not just magically get the DoD to agree to the terms Anthropic was asking for.

Sam is blowing smoke up your ass to distract from the fact OpenAI just took the terms Anthropic considered so egregious, it warranted jeopardizing an enormous part of their business.

The DoD does not just break off a massive contract to accept the same demands 5 minutes later from someone else. Until explicitly indicated otherwise, the only logical conclusion here is that OpenAI swooped in and unscrupulously stooped lower than Anthropic was willing to go for the money.

Assume all OpenAI data will now be used for what Anthropic deemed “mass domestic surveillance of Americans”. Plan and prompt accordingly.

[Josh Kale @JoshKale]

Everyone’s saying OpenAI got the “same deal” Anthropic was banned for.
Read the fine print. They’re not the same:

On weapons:
Anthropic asked for “no fully autonomous weapons without human oversight” = a human involved in the decision.

OpenAI’s deal says “human responsibility for the use of force” = someone accountable, which can happen after the fact.

Oversight ≠ Responsibility. One requires a human before the trigger. The other requires a name on the paperwork after.

On surveillance:
Dario said explicitly: current law hasn’t caught up with AI. The government can already buy your movement data, browsing history, etc without a warrant. AI can assemble that into a complete picture of your life, at scale. That’s mass surveillance without breaking a single law.

Anthropic wanted protections beyond current law.

OpenAI’s deal says the Pentagon “reflects them in law and policy.” That’s existing law as the safeguard, the exact law Anthropic said is insufficient.

Same words. Different agreements. Read them carefully

Just here briefly to show Hillary some love in the midst of the absolute shitshow that is the current administration.

If there's anyone left on here not in the MAGA cesspool that X has become, join us over on Bluesky!

What absolute trash. It is unconscionable that people still support this lawless, incompetent, and downright evil administration.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Wow! Pete Hegseth tries to attack the Atlantic journalist after he sent that journalist classified information by mistake.

This man should forced to resign. What a terrible response to a very serious question.

Trump has spent literally half of his presidency at Mar-a-Lago.

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

🚨 BREAKING: While the cost of eggs hits all time highs, Donald Trump has spent 47% of his presidency on vacation, according to news reports.

His trips to Florida have already cost taxpayers a whopping $10 million in just 3 weeks.

When will DOGE investigate this wastefulness?

[Amy H. @superamy13]

Welcome to 1984. Are we great yet? Shameful, as with everything else.

Today, the NSA is planning a "Big Delete" of websites and internal network content that contain any of 27 banned words, including "privilege," "bias," and "inclusion," a NSA source tells Popular Information.

The massive purge is creating chaos, taking down "mission-related" work

[Amy H. @superamy13]

This is completely reprehensible. Make America Dumb Again, apparently.

Can we stop pretending these people are not racists? This is deplorable.

Darren Beattie is also an unrepentant bigot who was fired from Duke University in 2018 for attending a conference with white nationalists. He’s pretty open about his views

[Congressman Bill Keating @USRepKeating]

Darren Beattie and his racist, sexist beliefs have no place at the @StateDept or anywhere else in the US government.

@SecRubio, the buck stops at you - you must stop this appointment.
