Anthropic is still an incredibly evil company; always has been. And there’s no discernible difference between the OpenAI and Anthropic deals with the Trump administration.
Here’s a list of things Anthropic was willing to do for Trump:
- Mass surveillance of non-Americans
- Targeted surveillance of Americans
- Semi-autonomous bombings
- Fully autonomous bombings… in the future

I don’t think it’s fair to take the two items they were fighting against, and warping around the details, as a statement of acceptance, especially given how Stinky Pete wouldn’t even budge on those two.
Anthropic took a stand on a couple of guardrails, that you or I would consider to be very basic acceptable rules, but that the rest of their competition immediately lambasted, at the risk of their Pentagon contract, and even a national blacklisting that could completely take down their company. They lost, but at least they didn’t back down. And they are still at risk of being blackballed, because we live in a dictatorship where some fuckhead president can write whatever EO his wants without Congressional approval.
I’m sure as fuck ain’t going to call Dario a hero, or ignore all of the shit Anthropic did to get this far. But, I am going to call out when a company and CEO sticks their neck out in front of a crazed axe-wielding executioner.

Why are you so upset about them restoring the original name? When was the last time US military defended the US soil vs. launching an attack?

Au contraire, I think they should be calling themselves DoW. No more “defence” BS. It is, and always has been, about war.
Billions of your money? Yeah that’s going to fund wars. War on the whole world, war on their own citizens, WAR!

It was the original name. Fuhrer Trump just doesn’t have the right to decree whatever he wants

OpenAI’s Sam Altman has praised Trump and our “warfighters.”
So did Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, in a desperate attempt to please Trump.
