personally, i think that anthropic is a supply chain risk. if the ceo writes 'pace the frontier' and wants to be in charge of the product, it's very risky (to the customer).

by analogy it would be like the us military renting all m4 carbines from a political party.

anthropic treat customers very badly. they have claude lecture the user about the moral law according to anthropic. they change the product all the time. they have safety refusals to degrade functionality, they have mandatory logging so they spy on how it is used.

it's unusable for a serious application.

on top of that it is unsurprising that a big tyrant does not take well to a little tyrant.

Irrelevant. Then the government should just refrain from taking the contract, not use violent force to restrict Anthropic doing business.

  • Correct, from the government's perspective, anthropic is a risk to the supply chain and should not be included in sensitive government contracts.

    • Thats too vast a scope. Whats not to say they start enforcing bans on Anthropic in any branch or usage of Anthropic of your company if your company has entered into a defense contract with the government for something?

  • i don't understand.

    it is a supply chain risk, so they don't want it in the supply chain.

    that's logical.

    • They can just refuse to entertain contracts with them if they dislike it. Why issue a supply chain risk? Its clear and pure thuggery and blackmail.

I think you're complaining that they have a bad product. A supply chain risk means something else entirely.

  • i think it's a supply chain risk.

    anthropic nanny claude and spy on it, they have ego issues.

    if the dod use anthropic it is sort of like putin relying on prigozhin.

    prigozhin got ideas and tried to usurp putin. this did not end well for prigozhin.
