  Agree with him or not, the (oddly popular on here!) take that Dario Amodei is some kind of bumbling Silicon Valley naïf who couldn't get a deal with the Pentagon done because he doesn't understand politics seems entirely wrong. His favorite book is “The Making of the Atomic

  What Anthropic did is what every law firm and university threatened by Trump should have done. The consequences of standing against bullying and tyranny are real, but integrity and courage in the face of personal cost is worth more.

  I agree with Anthropic's moral stand 100%, but this is also true. If they were unhappy with the terms of the contract, they were free to simply not bid. The ego of Anthropic and their CEO is insane.

  These are very important developments - the developers of AI systems have a responsibility to ensure that their use is within democratic norms.

  I've honestly never had a high opinion of Anthropic before - I've always thought Claude was overrated; that their crusade against open-source and Chinese models was a poorly motivated attempt at regulatory capture. But I think I've come around to believing that these folks

  Amodei: “Disagreeing with the government is the most American thing in the world.” “When we were threatened with ... unprecedented intrusions into the private economy, we exercised our classic First Amendment rights to speak up and disagree with the government.” 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  Dario Amodei just gave his first interview since the Pentagon blacklisted his company. The toll is visible on his face. He was asked one question. What would you say to the President right now? He didn't hesitate. Amodei: “We are patriotic Americans. Everything we have done [vide…

  Dario Amodei's new interview: He was asked “If you were in the room with the President right now, what would you say to him?” He says “Disagreeing with the government is the most American thing in the world.” He looks visibly strained. [video]

  Dario playing 12D chess. Anthropic has already steadily accelerated its international growth. DoD is effectively helping them accelerate their efforts to grow internationally. While also pissing off both sides of the aisle at home. Anthropic knows world is open for business [imag…

  What if Claude 5 is advising Dario and has already Anticipated All Possible Scenarios

  Anthropic is obviously in the right in their conflict with the USG. As far as I can tell they have acted with integrity, and I support them in standing their ground. I am also worried this will create a set of martyr and prosecution beliefs at Anthropic. Just because you have

  Many of my extremely talented eng friends who could've easily started a company went on to work at Anthropic and when asked why they'd always say “Dario is such a good CEO”. I didn't get it then but I see it now

  America and the world need more CEOs with the integrity of Dario Amodei.  —  Thanks for sticking by your principles, and doing the right thing!  —  www.cbsnews.com/news/pentago...

  And Dario Amodei is correct.  This administration wants to use AI to sidestep Constitutional rights.  [embedded post]
