I can't believe that people simply bought into Anthropic's PR messaging. This has nothing to do with "mass surveillance" (which is illegal anyway) or killbots, it's all about Dario wanting to be able to override lawful use:

I think it's quite rich all these people virtue signaling when: (1) Anthropic (and other labs) committed large scale theft of copyrighted materials to train their models. (2) Anthropic collects large swaths of data on its users (3) Dario seemed to have no issue working to help the CCP: https://x.com/ubuto23/status/2027578089371267201

Also, you must understand that if you support Anthropic, then you should be against Open Source models.

Mass surveillance may be illegal anyway as you say, but what is the relevance of that? I hope you don't take it being illegal to imply that the government isn't going to do it.

    If you think the gov't is doing illegal things to US citizens then provide the proof and expose it. I don't have evidence so I am not going to speculate either way.

      Sir, they executed an American in the streets just a few weeks ago.

      The supreme court just said our govt illegally took money from its citizens via tariffs. they aren’t concerned with giving it back.

      We just bombed Iran without a single discussion in Congress.

      We are killing unknown individuals in boats in the ocean without trials.

      Doesn’t matter whether usage is legal companies are allowed to enter into contracts as they see fit. That’s a core principle of a society with free speech. If Anthropic said you weren’t allowed to use Claude on the toilet they are writing the contract.
