Let me rephrase this.

Anthropic played a really well orchestrated marketing gimmick so that they would be in the headlines for a couple days bringing awareness to non-tech people on how they are supposedly the good guys. They then backpedaled all of this and are in contract with the DoD once the headlines passed.

But this obviously worked as you now believe they are the good guys

They didn't backpedal at all, you're spreading FUD.

Their red lines are still in place. They are the only AI company with those red lines.

Ah yes, right

Those sources don’t claim Anthropic is crossing its red lines (AI-controlled weapons and mass domestic surveillance of American citizens).

You didn't read your own sources. The red lines are still in place.

Oh I read them. If I had to bet I follow this more closely than you do.

Some redlines are still in place. Not the same ones and it is very clear based on this precedent that red lines can be moved at any times whenever it is convenient for Anthropic as shown by the above articles.

So as I said, all a marketing gimmick.
