At the very least, didn’t Sam Altman/OpenAI say they intend to have these exact same restrictions?
Comment on President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems

You have to realize, what exactly Anthropic refused: To extend the current contract to two things:
- Autonomous Weapons (AI deciding on killing or firing weapons)
- AI-powered mass surveillance of american citizens
refusing those two things makes the only AI company radical left. Now Google, OpenAI or Grok will do what Anthropic has done already, plus mass surveillance plus AI-killcommands

Sam Altman the infamous grifter? The same Altman whose foot in the door into the tech industry was inflating user numbers to get his app sold? That Sam Altman?

I don’t want to paraphrase him out of context, so here is his full statement:
“I don’t personally think the Pentagon should be threatening DPA against these companies. But I also think that companies that choose to work with the Pentagon, as long as it is going to comply with legal protections and the few red lines that the field, we have, I think we share with Anthropic and that other companies also independently agree with, I think it is important to do that. For all the differences I have with Anthropic, I mostly trust them as a company, and I think they really do care about safety, and I’ve been happy that they’ve been supporting our warfighters.”

Well, there’s news about them being the replacement. So, no, they won’t.

Just listened to the “Search Engine” episode about anthropic that I think came out today? I am happy they stuck to their guns, but also, yeah google, open AI, grok, whatever, will happily do whatever crimes against humanity

Yeah, it’s going to be Grok. Who wouldn’t want an autonomous Mecha-Hitler killing things?

And Anthropic refused? Surely they must be the evil ones!

It’s crazy how not only ethnics but now safety is “radically left”

Yeah, one of the two was a pure safety play, not even ethics.
If I sell the military an ATV for shuffling things around on base, I might engineer a speed limiter to prevent the ATV from going faster than what its safety features are rated at. But a demand that I remove the governor so that the vehicle can go all lawful speeds totally misses the point. Whether it is illegal or unethical to do so, it’s still bad engineering to use dangerous technology beyond the scope of what it (and its safety features) has been designed for.
