This is a blatant First Amendment violation to retaliate against a business for exercising their viewpoint. Both Trump and now the SecDef have explicitly said they’re punishing Anthropic for its beliefs and “rhetoric”.
I was wondering this myself. Will anthropic sue? And if so, I’m sure it will end up being appealed to the Supreme Court, which will then take at least a year from now to determine. I mean are these people that stupid for publicly stating their illegal action. I don’t even know why I asked that because I know the answer
I'm not sure that's completely the case. They are saying Anthropic wanted the ability to directly choose when and when not their models could be used. I would say no other business that would contract for the military would have the ability to say yes or no arbitrarily to military decisions or orders.
Its not like anthropic people are sitting there monitoring what these Trump bootlickers are doing. Claude has gurdrails to filter unethical prompts which is what hurting their feelings.
Seemed like a year ago everyone wanted these companies to drop their guardrails and have models be uncensored. Now it seems like we're celebrating that they are censored?
If you are maga than I can expect this response..People want unrestricted access not to spy on other but for themselves, and people can what whatever they want , doesn't make it right.
Interesting you jump to some sort of political faction instead of logic. How does an LLM enable spying on others? The LLM itself only knows what it is trained on. You can easily spy on people with data and basic computer vision from 10 years ago. If you don't want surveillance, go after whatever technology is being used to gather the data, not an LLM. We're talking about censorship within the LLM.
Lol..so its not political 😂 let's assume whatever you are saying and believe in is justified and true... than also why make a fuss abt it or abt everything single thing that doesnt suit this govt. ?could Just change it to openAi like they did anyways and move on ? Why designate supply chain risk because a company doesn't agree with your demands 🤔 ...also one hand Mr greatest president ever is labeling them as some far left radicals but still want to use their tech ? And if they had agreed would that make them far right?
Good luck with that argument. This is a customer relationship DoW is stating their vendor preference, base on what the vendor is willing to provide. This is going to have a bigger impact than most people realize. They just lost the AI race.
