Fully agreed! As a private company, Anthropic has the right to design its products and negotiate its contracts with its customers however way it pleases free without the government trying to nuke it.

Likewise, business can evaluate the risks posed to them by each vendor and proceed accordingly.

@matt_is_nice @paulmarin90 yes

@deanwball @paulmarin90 Is it really silent if they’re coming out and telling you they might do it though?

@matt_is_nice @deanwball Yes. And I don't think we should give them too much credit for this disclosure....not disclosing this behavior could reasonably be interpreted as false advertisement or fraud.

If not in a court of law, then certaintly in the cout of vibes.

@paulmarin90 @deanwball Yea understand if folks don’t like the vibes, and that’s fine. They can just….not use it. But as a non-lawyer this disclosure seems pretty solid legally

@deanwball @Miles_Brundage @paulmarin90

@deanwball @jd_pressman @paulmarin90 It was pretty clear that Anthropic had these tendencies before the DoW blow-up. That’s part of what DoW was reacting to, even if “supply-chain risk” was unwarranted.

@matt_is_nice @deanwball To clarify my reply. What i am saying is that WITHOUT the broad warning disclosure they made today, they would have been in much dicier water.

Today's disclosure is mostly a bare minimum cover-your-ass move, which is why they don't deserve much credit for it.

@deanwball @paulmarin90 As in legal risk of fraud or false advertising?
