Thanks for the coverage. I’m curious. What’s the model by which publicity about Anthropic’s ethics would generate conflict with DoD, rather than the dispute simply reflecting substantive disagreements over permissible uses?
The perception by many is that Anthropic is the "left-wing" AI lab. I don't think this is particularly reasonable or true, but there was wide blowback in right wing circles to the profiles on Askell. For example, Musk was arguing that this represented political biases within Claude, etc. So, it's likely there was internal grumbling in the DoD about using a woke AI or whatever.
The plot twist is that the reported conflict is not about currently permitted uses since the DoW is not currently permitted to do either of the things it apparently wants Anthropic to permit/ stop ruling out.

I did know about the blowback. Thanks for helping me understand.
