It’s possible for other business leaders to be more evil than you and to still be on the wrong side of history. I’m not even saying Dario is ill-intentioned — just too propagandized to fully comprehend the moral implication of doing deals with war profiteers and throwing in with the U.S. empire.

You are making no sense.

Anthropic is selling a model and not applications using that model. The latter is not in their hands but they have drawn two specific red lines over which they are willing to go against the mighty DoW.

If you think that no AI model should be allowed to be used by the Military, then you are living in a clueless la-la land. There are perfectly justified Military/Law-Enforcement uses of AI. What we can demand are controls/oversight by a Human over its usage in a lawful manner. Anthropic has done its part by drawing two red lines and cannot be expected to do more.

It is companies like Palantir who build applications for warfare using Anthropic's (and others) models, enabling features like "shortening the kill chain", "enabling decision compression" etc. who need major oversight.
