Something I am not seeing discussed is why the sudden reversal?
Could it be Antropic promised NSA direct access to everyone's queries or something? Maybe an opportunity for admin officials to get in early on their promised IPO?
I am not a conspiracy theorist but this admin especially doesn't relent for free.
They made the guardrails tighter. Tight enough to capture more false positive requests, now. Yaaaaay.
Well, that's the publicly stated reason. Is that really enough? Maybe, but I am slightly suspicious something else was promised behind the scenes.
