Call me a conspiracy theorist, but this sounds like classic quid pro quo. I would not be surprised if the ousting of anthropic was in part caused by these donations.

How very brave.
Can someone help me understand where this is coming from? Anthropic already had a contract that clearly didn't have such restrictions. Their model doesn't seem to be enforcing restrictions either as it seems like their models have been used in ways they don't like. This is not corroborated, I imagine their model was used in the recent Mexico and Venezuela attacks and that is what's triggering all the back and forth.
Also, Dario seemingly is happy about autonomous weapons and was working with the government to build such weapons, why is Anthropic considered the good side here?
Knowing what Trump did, prior to 2024, on the average, 7/10 people either voted or didn't vote in the 2024 election. Trump is a symptom, not the cause. All of this could have been avoided if all of the people who didn't vote had a decent moral compass and no matter how much they disagreed with Kamala, they could have voted for her because she didn't try to overthrow the government.
In 2024, there was no secret about his 2016 term, and the felony conviction, no matter what the algorithm fed you. After all of that, if you didn't vote against Trump, you are just a bad person, period.
At this point it feels like it's going to have to get much worse before it gets better. I hope I live to see the part where it gets better.
Let alone when multiple players come close enough of SotA. This never happened with any technology out in the open and it won't happen now.
And now they are getting what they wished for.
It's money and power with these people. Dig down and you'll find how this decision is motivated by one or both.
