I don't know what you're referencing, but it doesn't matter. I judge people by their actions more than their words. The actions in this case are simple: Anthropic doesn't want their models to be used for fully autonomous weapons or mass surveillance of American citizens, but everything else is fair game; in response, the sitting administration is attempting to kill the company (since a strict reading of the security risk order would force most of their partners, suppliers, etc., to cut them off completely).
Giving precedence to words over actions is how you get taken advantage, abused, deceived, etc.
GOOD. I don’t want Anthropic, or anybody else to have their tools used for these things either.
But Dario is showing weakness here by talking around it. Whatever they were asked to do, they should just be upfront about.
