Is Anthropic required to sell to the government even if doesn't want to, and is willing to give up its government contracts rather than change its terms of use?
Yes, in the same way a rape victim is "free" to not be raped if they instead opt to get shot by the rapist holding a gun to their head.
Does nobody understand simple words like "free" or "voluntary" anymore? Is coersion no longer a concept that the human brain is able to understand? Or, are some people collectively choosing to act so unbelievably stupid they're falling below the intelligence of an average second grader?
>No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
We are not talking about soldiers living in Anthropic's offices. We are talking about an office employee being able to generate a PowerPoint about autonomous weapon systems.
Addressed elsewhere in the thread. I could easily envision a Supreme Court decision based on reasoning such as, "Clearly the intent of the framers was that American citizens should not be forced to provide goods or services to the military against their will."
Dumber stretches of logic have certainly emerged from SCOTUS. If Wickard v. Filburn makes sense to them, so could this.
Maybe not from the present bench, but perhaps from a hypothetically less-partisan one.
The word you are searching for is not authoritarian, but liberty.

That is apparently false given this situation
So what I'm hearing is, having trampled every other amendment in the Bill of Rights, the Trump administration is now turning its sights to the Third.
