So will there be droves of people canceling their Claude subscription too?

None of these companies are clean and I think it’s hilarious HN and the rest of SV has been duped by Dario. He’s playing the game better than Sam is, imo. Nothing Dario has said has indicated he is regretful about their partnership with Palantir or any of the stuff they’ve done with the DoD in the past 2.5 years.

I remember considering applying for Anthropic about 1.5 years ago because they seemed like a somewhat more ethical AI company. Then I learned about their Palantir partnership and realized it was all just a clever marketing gimmick.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Bullshit

" Frankfurt determines that bullshit is speech intended to persuade without regard for truth. The liar cares about the truth and attempts to hide it; the bullshitter doesn't care whether what they say is true or false."

This quote comes to mind whenever Dario Amodei opens his mouth.

what do you mean "clean"? as if helping destroy an autocratic terror regime that killed thousands of Americans through the years is "dirty"?

How come HN became so extreme left it can't understand this is a good thing?

Good Thing? How deranged are you to say something without proof and accuse others of a being left, when people are being normal.

yes, destroying a murderous regime is a good thing. Your inability to comprehend this is disturbing at best.

Exactly. Anthropic is to the rest of the AI companies as capital-loyal Democrats are to capital-loyal Republicans of the uniparty.

The choices we are given are merely an illusion. The notion of "lesser of 2 etc evils" is fundamentally flawed.
