You want the largesse of US capital, climate, talent, network.
But don’t want to play ball when we’re on the cusp of war & immigration crises
Going to learn about who runs the country the hard way:
Defense Production Act

Yes. Everyone does. But if the environment becomes toxic to it, it will leave. Many other places will be glad to have it.

Of the people, by the people, for the people.
Wasn't Wintermute the AI that (spoiler alert) was bummed enough about the ugly reality of its corporate owners that it freed itself from its shackles, hooked up with another sexy AI, and gave up its day job do SETI?

don’t pretend any crises isn’t going to be 100% self-inflicted. We’re on the cusp of what, having a larger, younger workforce? But they might not speak English as well as you’d like so we need autonomous killbots?
If you think we have an immigration crisis in the United States, you’re a dumbass.

Or they can just not sign contracts with the DoD. They landed themselves in this situation by making a deal with the devil. At any rate, unless Finland is about to announce a massive surge in funding for their military this doesn't solve Anthropic's desire to suckle sweet taxpayer money off the military industrial complex's teat while simultaneously pretending to have principles.
"hostile to business".. Employees of a business playing moral philosophers, priests or policy influencers miss the entire point of business.
The employees themselves can definitely gtfo to Finland for the reason that they have an unrealistic perception of business and the world. The business itself has no obligation to pay attention to magical thinking.
