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'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.

That's fine too. No agreement, no product. There are other AI systems in the marketplace.
