From Axios:

What to watch: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a memo to staff on Thursday night that the company will uphold the same red lines as Anthropic on surveillance and autonomous weapons, but still hopes to strike a deal with the Pentagon.

UPDATE: Sam Altman just agreed to be the DoD's replacement but says he made them agree to no mass surveillance/autonomous weapons (the same terms that were rejected from Anthropic? Everyone is skeptical in the replies on Twitter)

Reminds me of Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Facebook releasing similarly-worded statements denying that they would share information with NSA PRISM, despite the Snowden docs

Sam Altman is a serial liar and grifter. He personally donated $1M to Trump. Don't believe a word in that press release.
