  It's extremely good that Anthropic has not backed down, and it's siginficant that OpenAI has taken a similar stance.  In the future, there will be much more challenging situations of this nature, and it will be critical for the relevant leaders to rise up to the occasion, for fie…

  Hey so OpenAI previously had a red line that they would not allow their models to be used in warfare *at all*. That is until 3 months into the war in Gaza. That red line changed to allow for “national security” scenarios. These companies have shifted red lines before and try to […

  (meanwhile xAI fully capitulated, it seems. but also funny that that seems to be the one the government isn't exactly frothing at the mouth to get to agree)

  strategically, it was probably smart of OAI and google to let anthropic be the face of resistance in this little skirmish but hard for goog and OAI to score points in public after the battle has been fought

  Hmm.  Is it that the Trump Admin saw Anthropic as moving into the AI lead, didn't feel their leadership was sufficiently loyal, so sought to destroy them in order to elevate companies more likely to be loyal?  —  Sort of like the WB-Netflix play.  Only loyalists can succeed.  —  …

  This “oh they're so strong standing up to the DoD” shit ignores that Anthropic has worked with it since 2024.  Wow, they had some ethical boundaries!  Gimme a break.  OpenAI has the same ones btw!  You gonna start clapping for Sam Altman?  —  www.axios.com/2026/02/27/a...

• @mguariglia Matthew Guariglia on bluesky

  OpenAI claims it's joining Anthropic to say the DOD can't use their AI for surveillance/autonomous weapons.  As DOD starts an embargo of any military contractor using their products, will they do the same to OpenAI?  Wild this happens on a day a report is out about how Grok for g…

  And Trump's complaint that Anthropic is staffed by “Leftwing nut jobs” won't stretch to OpenAI, whose president Greg Brockman donated $25m to a MAGA super PAC.  Sam Altman has told staff his company draws the same red line as Anthropic www.axios.com/2026/02/27/a...

  Even one other company speaking up like this makes it harder for the Pentagon to make good on its insane threats.  Would love for Google to join the party today.  [embedded post]

  OpenAI, on the other hand, may be worried about the white hat going to Anthropic.  —  bsky.app/profile/tech...  [embedded post]

  OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote in a memo to staff that he will draw the same red lines that sparked a high-stakes fight between rival Anthropic and the Pentagon: no AI for mass surveillance or autonomous lethal weapons.  —  www.axios.com/2026/02/27/a...
