Daring Fireball: WSJ: ‘Trump Administration Shuns Anthropic, Embraces OpenAI in Clash Over Guardrails’:

  • It’s not the place of a corporation to dictate terms to the Department of Defense regarding how its product or services are used within the law.
  • It’s a preposterous, childish (and almost certainly illegal) overreaction to designate Anthropic a “supply-chain risk to national security” in this way. Grow up.

Even-handed, and (with caveats) I agree on both counts. However, also:

Bullet 1: “within the law”
Bullet 2: “almost certainly illegal”

At least he didn’t call it the Department of War.
