Oh I don’t think they could have prevented USG from using Claude for mass domestic surveillance. Autonomous weapons maybe since it’s a reliability issue the military would agree with. They would need to sacrifice their principles in order to get Claude more integrated into the government, which could be good or bad for us but would have been in Anthropic’s interest.
I have a little stored thought which sometimes triggers, and it reads:
“If you find yourself being forced to choose between two or more extremely bad options that involve burning your values, your resources, or your life, the truth is that you lost around three moves ago and are living out the equivalent of a forced mate in chess. You’ve already lost, so stop playing and find a better game to spend time on if at all possible.”

It’s a tough game to be in. Sometimes the only winning move is not to play.

Sadly, sometimes you don’t have the option of not playing.
