It took Google probably 15 years to fully evil-ize. Anthropic ... two?
There is no "ethical capitalism" big tech company possible, esp once VC is involved, and especially with the current geopolitical circumstances.
It's just a silly woke secretary choosing their own imaginary pronouns.
Department of Defense is the official name, and they did have a choice: they could have stopped working with the military. But they chose money and evil.
It doesn't matter that there exists another name on some paper, when all official, ceremonial and public communications use this name. The old name is about as worthless as the constitution or the senate at this point. The executive branch has successfully taken over the country.
They also have never had any guarantees they wouldn't f*ck around with non-US citizens, for surveillance and "security", because like most US tech companies they consider us to be second/lower class human beings of no relevance, even when we pay them money.
At least Google, in its early days, attempted a modest and naive "internationalism" and tried to keep their hands clean (in the early days) of US foreign policy things... inheriting a kind of naive 1990s techno-libertarian ethos (which they threw away during the time I worked there, anyways). I mean, they only kinda did, but whatever.
Anthropic has been high on its own supply since its founding, just like OpenAI. And just as hypocritical.
