So they agreed to the exact same clauses that Anthropic put forward but with OpenAI instead?

So it wasn't about those principles making them a supply chain risk? They're just trying to punish Anthropic for being the first ones to stand firm on those principles?

I’m sure a big donor just used the US gov as a bludgeon to destroy their competition

Is the big donor among us?

Now that OpenAI is going to be used for mass domestic surveillance you can assume Sam Altman is always in the room.

As I understand it, Sam's cofounder at OpenAI donated $25 million to the Trump 2024 campaign.

As Trump himself likes to say, "Promises made, promises kept."

Anthropic would probably not renegotiate in a year about the principles, while Sam Altman is known to be morally flexible so OpenAI will almost surely allow the military to do what they want in the future. Sam Altman might even have said behind closed doors that these restrictions will be removed once the drama has died down.

What principals do Anthropic have?, they happily build a product and acknowledge it will lead to the loss of millions of jobs, particularly SWE's first, but shrug and say 'nothing we can do, we just build the thing', that will kill a lot of people.
