I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk

Given that Anthropic is clearly risking their entire business just to stand up for what they believe is right, which appears to be what everyone here agrees with, is everyone who is supporting them here planning to also start using Anthropic and switch away from other vendors until they follow suit? Or are folks planning to just use whatever regardless?

Edit: I should perhaps clarify I'm more interested in paid users, rather than free. It's harder to tell if free users switching would help them or hurt them... curious if anyone has thoughts on that too.

i’m currently subscribed to openai for their $20 a month tier chatgpt subscription.

i told myself if anthropic does not back down on their current stipulations to the DoD, then i’d cancel and switch over to claude

they said there is a line they do not want to cross, and stuck to that stance, at great personal and financial risk to themselves

My understanding is that they would have been likely to lose many of their senior researchers if they had backed down here.

I've only ever used the free plans, but I'd consider a sub with Anthropic now.
