TL;DR: Anthropic refused to sign a contract with the Pentagon that would have allowed the U.S. military to use all of its models without restrictions. Anthropic insisted on an exception, and brace yourself, that its models cannot be used: 1) for mass surveillance of citizens, 2) for autonomous killing. Now the administration is threatening that if the founder of Anthropic doesn't change his mind by a certain date, they will come after him.
Google, OpenAI, and Musk (Grok) have all signed the contract.
Following Sam Altman's announcement over the past few hours, people have been speaking out massively about cancelling their OpenAI subscriptions and subscribing to Claude.
This is a much-needed development. I appreciate OpenClaw's impact on the industry, particularly its most impressive feature: remote control. Now, features like Claude Code's remote control and Claude Dispatch are bringing this same remote capability to autonomous systems.
I believe the logical next step will be integrating these tools into messaging applications like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and WhatsApp. We can already see this potential today, as collaborating with Devin on coding tasks directly within Slack is extremely convenient and time-saving.
Just love anything anthropic/claude related. Claude itself has done so much more then chatgpt ever could.
