I still don't get your point. Anthropic didn't sign the contract, OpenAI did.
The contract is too loose, it pretty much allows them to do whatever they want.
Show me where the contracts differ. OpenAI says they don't. Unless Dario Amodei speaks up, why assume they do?
I've shown you plenty of stuff that should make you hate Dario Amodei. Unless you support the current state of the US military as much as he does, I don't know why you are defending the pro-Trump pro-war suckup.
Okay, so listen:
The DoW offered Anthropic the contract and they declined, as it has clauses that would allow the government to do whatever they wanted.
Then OpenAI signed the same contract.
How can you say they are the same, when the first company refused the contract? I'm not even from the US and definitely not pro Trump. But there's things besides black and white.
Okay, so listen.
OpenAI claims they have the same standards as Anthropic. OpenAI signed the deal, even reiterated they have the same joke of "red lines."
Can you show me the difference between the old contract and the new one? Because if you can't, you're making assumptions.
Presuming your making assumptions, riddle me this: is Sam Altman a liar?
Presuming Sam Altman isn't a liar: Why isn't pro-war Dario Amodei calling him on it?
Dario Amodei is busy calling out the pile of shit that's the US government. Fighting Altman doesn't get him anything right now.

Okay, so you agree Altman is a liar, but Dario is too busy to call him out? Warmonger Dario Amodei has had days.
Dario is too busy glazing Pete Hegseth's war machine.
And Dario Amodei is too busy supporting Pete Hegseth's attacks, like on Venezuelan fishermen.
Dario supports this.

So I guess this includes the Iran invasion. Dario craves blood.
It's Iran, not Iraq.
Just calm down, I'm not pro AI, but we can still be positive about someone making the right choice for once.
Throwing enough money around there's plenty of other options for the DoW, be it Microsoft, Google or even hosting their own LLM (open source models are pretty much on-par now).
You do not, in fact, have to hand it to him?
You don't have to praise the "fair" and "just capitalism" qualities of 99% Hitler when you can choose 0% Hitler.
I'll change my statement: Iraq, not Iran. Will you change yours: Dario is a warmonger who wants to enable Trump and Hegseth and continued to do so? You didn't contest that.
I honestly care less about the war mongering and more about the "domestic surveillance" part. Like domestic just counts for US citizens, which I'm not. So fuck him too (:
True, you're on the table for AI-powered surveillance (along with traditional surveillance, which is probably the more functional kind)
