| Its possible that you may have misunderstood what happened. Firstly, anthropic made an LLM, exposed it to the internet, and provided these terms of acceptable use. https://www.anthropic.com/legal/archive/4903a61b-037c-4293-9... There was no need for cynicism or kool aid at this stage. Later on, presumably now-ish, anthropic changed the usage policy, to add an exception. https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/9528712-exceptions... > Exceptions to our Usage Policy > Updated today The exception is that, starting from now, > Anthropic may enter into contracts with government customers that tailor use restrictions to that customer’s public mission and legal authorities if, in Anthropic’s judgment, the contractual use restrictions and applicable safeguards are adequate to mitigate the potential harms addressed by this Usage Policy. I don't think any kool aid or cynicism is needed. The change is that, if anthropic think the client use case meets the listed humanitarian goals, then the client may use the LLM. |
