* Anthropic accepted a 200M contract from the US Department of Defence * Anthropic seeked contracts from the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, the leaked memo acknowledges that the contracts will enrich dictators * Anthropic spent more than 2 millions of political lobying in 2025 * "Unfortunately, I think ‘No bad person should ever benefit from our success’ is a pretty difficult principle to run a business on."

I don't see how this new constitution is anything more than marketing, when "enriching dictators is better than going out of business" is your CEO's motto, "lets to the lest evil thing that sill gives us more power and money" is not new, and its not gonna fix anything. When the economic system is fucked, only a reimagining of the system can fix it. Good intentions cannot meaningfully change anything when comming from actors that operate from within the fucked system, and who pay millions to fuck it further

And if you think the US maintaining the ability to go to war is a bad thing, I don't want you in charge of regulating AI or running the country.

    Hi, i don't often reply to attacks of character but judging by your comment history you have a habit to leave a lot of them, i would probably be a bad president tho, because i don't think its possible to be good at running a bad system, and because i don't think its a good thing for a single person to "run a country".

    I don't think my concerns over over Anthropic's honesty should be dismissed based on your perception on my capacity at doing something else.

    I also don't see how DoD contracts help Anthropic's goal of "avoiding actions that are inappropriately dangerous or harmful", i also don't see the practical use of a constitution that doesn't see the contradiction. I will not answer to your following comments because you don't seem to be a nice person, goodbye.
