> mass __domestic__ surveillance is incompatible with democratic values

But mass surveillance of Australians or Danes is alligned with democratic values as long as it's the Americans doing it?

I don't think the moral high ground Anthropic is taking here is high enough.

Most of the people on this site have disturbing beliefs about politics. Shallow and contradictory but strangely aligned.

Yes most comments makes no sense to me. The statement basically both allows surveillance of non-american people and prevents imaginary LLM weapons (I highly doubt we'll see a LLM fully automating a weapon...)

There is no popular support whatsoever for reining in foreign intelligence collection or processing. Americans generally don’t care about things that don’t affect them when it comes to policymaking (or the richest country in the world would do something meaningful about the 20k that die every single day from lack of access to fresh water).

If it ain’t repeatedly on the news and designed explicitly to scare and agitate then really people DGAF.

But at least they're taking _some_ stance. Yes, it could be higher, but it's better than nothing, and requires courage
