The lesser of two evils is still...evil. Anthropic's hands aren't clean either...they're just minimally less caked in blood.

BUT

One can hope that this is the 'turn towards the light side'. If 'don't be evil' can finally be made profitable, well, self interest might actually be a lever for good. Ha.

I wish there was a clearly, unambiguously good guy in the cloud AI space. I don't know how to make that work with economies of scale being what they are. Yes, that includes Lumo - though one has faint hope on that end to.
