I am not a fan of Anthropic guys, but this time I stand with it. We all should.
It is a rough precedent that the government can force private citizens to build weapons for them.
The government has always had monopoly over violence.
Not only in the US, but everywhere else there is a government.
Arthropic is trying to make that a corporate prerogative, which is why its causing such a stir.
Conscientious objectors are recognized under US law
US law is not recognized under this administration
That doesn't make the above statement any less true and worth mentioning.
Anthropic's public statement declared their intent -- and in fact desire -- to allow their use of technology against me, as I'm not a US citizen.
Why should I stand with them? They only believe US citizens have democratic rights.
I'm sure Anthropic's hands are tied in so many ways, but that's no concern of mine.
I'll get by with GLM-5 and running Qwen locally.
