#Trump and his goons are bad for #business. Not just in general, but in specific, retributive fashion. #Anthropic was already bending the knee to #authoritarianism and it protected them not.
"[Anthropic] weren’t refusing to work with the #military. They weren’t demanding the #Pentagon adopt pacifism. They simply said their #AI shouldn’t make kill decisions without a human in the loop, and shouldn’t be used for mass #surveillance of #American citizens. That’s it. That’s the 'duplicity' and 'betrayal' that #Hegseth is ranting about. A company said 'maybe don’t let the robot decide who dies on its own' and the response was to try to destroy them."
