I guess our conscience of OpenAI working with the Department of War has an expiry date of 6 weeks.

That number is generous, and is also a pretty decent lifespan for a socially-conscious gesture in 2026.

We all liked the Terminator movies. Hopefully the stay as movies.

I quoted 2 weeks at the time. I think even that was generous.

Most people just want to use a tool that works. Not everything has to be a damn moral crusade.

Thing is that Anthropic was always working with DoD, too, and the line in the sand they drew looked really noble until I found it didn't not apply to me, a non-US citizen. Dario made it clear that was the case.

And so the difference, to me, was irrelevant. I'll buy based on value, and keep a poker in the fire of Chinese & European open weight models, as well.

Not everyone is American, and people who are not see Anthropic state they are willing to spy on our countries and shrug about OAI saying the same about America. What’s the difference to us?

neah, I believe most people here, which immediately brag about codex, are openai employees doing part of their job. otherwise I couldn't possibly phantom why would anyone use codex. In my company 80% is claude and 15% gemini. you can barely see openai on the graph. and we have >5k programmers using ai every day.
