This feels kind of like a masterclass in negotiation. I suspect Dario just didn't get along with the DoW. Sam comes in, takes Anthropic's place, gets the same concessions.

Hell, this may open a path for Anthropic to survive. Everyone can save face if the Pentagon says "we got Anthropic to agree to the same terms as OpenAI" and Anthropic gets their guardrails anyways.

On the other hand it's equally likely that the government just destroys Anthropic regardless because they don't like it anymore (and it dared to disagree in public.)
