Take that, Trump

I'm not moving any goal post - nobody is forcing them in to a contract. In fact, on Friday, they walked away from negotiations.

What you are seeing is an unusual public negotiation.

Do you think OpenAI were forced? nope they swooped in and closed the deal.

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

You still don't understand the basics of what is happening.

I will write it out for you very simply as I would for a simpleton:

Last June, the government agreed a contract with Anthropic.

The government now wants to change that contract.

Anthropic won't agree to the changes because they go against their core beliefs in safe AI.

The government threatened that if Anthropic don't agree to their changes, they would put them out of business, by designating them as a supply chain risk. This drastic step has only ever been used before against foreign companies which are believed to be spying for a foreign power, such as Huawei and Kaspersky.

Anthropic have not been given the option simply to walk away.

Anthropic are being forced by the government to choose between agreeing to the changes and abandoning their core beliefs, or walking away and being put out of business.

Is that simple enough for you to understand now.

The company has a right under the First Amendment not to be forced into a contract where it has to abandon its beliefs.

And yet, there was the US government attempting to do just that.

Under the Fifth Amendment, the government cannot deprive individuals or companies of property or liberty without due process of law. Retaliation or arbitrary "revenge" actions (e.g., pulling contracts, targeted audits, or launching investigations without cause) violate these rights.

That's not the fifth Nosey.

The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides crucial protections for individuals in legal proceedings, primarily guaranteeing rights against self-incrimination, double jeopardy, and ensuring due process. It prevents the government from depriving individuals of life, liberty, or property without legal justification and requires just compensation for taken property

OpenAI helped launch a $125m lobbying initiative, a Super Pac, to make sure no state can regulate AI. It’s attacking any politician who tries to pass safety laws. It wants Trump, and only Trump, to write the rules for the most powerful technology on earth.

Things got even worse last week. When the Trump administration demanded that AI companies give the Pentagon unrestricted access to their technology – including for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons – Anthropic, the company behind ChatGPT’s main competitor, Claude, refused.

The retaliation was swift and extraordinary. Trump ordered every federal agency to stop using Anthropic’s technology. Secretary of war Pete Hegseth declared the company a “supply-chain risk to national security”, a designation normally reserved for Chinese firms such as Huawei. He announced that anyone who does business with the US military is barred from working with Anthropic. This is essentially a corporate death sentence, for the crime of refusing to help build killer robots.

From the horses mouths:

1:

I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology.


2:



3:

In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic.

The other issue, for those interested in the big picture, is that this is just another example of the slide into autocracy:

Trump sanctions lawyers who represent people challenging his policies.
Trump threatens to cancel the broadcast licences of TV networks unless they ditch shows critical of him.
Trump prosecutes opposition politicians for criticising his policies.
And as in this case, Trump attempts to destroy private companies who refuse to go along with his policies.
