Oh no. A violation of the constitution, whatever will we do…
By bullying Anthropic, the Pentagon is violating the First Amendment. Here’s why.

Why are people still trying to hold the new government to old standards?
The people have already spoken. Stop bugging the government and let them do what’s best for them, I mean us.

Because not everybody is willing to roll over and give up.

They’re just trying to get clicks. It’s attention seeking behavior, not real concern for public policy.
FIRE has always been a corporate friendly libertarian-right organization. They post this stuff because they need to appear relevant to their sponsors.

These are old standards. Feudal strangers.

I misread that at first as whatever company bullying the Pentagon and now I miss those dopamines. Please give them back

The right to free speech under The Idiot’s regime is fraught at best. Basically subject to his whims.

This regime only speaks and understands one language, sadly

I don’t agree that the government should be able to do what they’re doing regarding the company, but I don’t understand how it’s a violation of free speech.
It seems they’re trying to clarify that AI projects are a creative project used for expression of motion. And that seems like a stretch to me? I don’t know, I don’t fully understand it.

they were within their rights to refuse to do business with the US government, and I don’t agree that the response to them refusing it should be the US government blacklist their company
I mean… you want to refuse business but you don’t want to be refused business?
How does that work?

because that’s a big overstep. There is a big difference between telling the DoD we don’t want to do buisness with you, to telling the DoT or FAA you don’t want to do buisness with them. Refusing buisness from the DoD or the Pentagon shouldn’t impact your ability to do buisness with the other branches. It’s abuse of position.
This isn’t “oh my company doesn’t want to do buisness because you won’t agree to give us the keys” this is a “ok so myself and my parent company along with any affiliates with us are not going to be doing buisness with you for not giving you the keys to the kingdom.”
That’s my mentality of it anyway, I don’t think it violates the first amendment but, but I still don’t think it’s right.

It’s more of a 3rd Amendment violation than anything else.

Allow me to list all the reasons why the government cares and all the repercussions that will come out of it:
