Anthropic has the appearance/rep of being non-cooperative with the military industrial complex.

OpenAI doesn't have that reputation.

That's all.

This. Anthropic made at least some token effort to imagine a future where AI and humans cooperate in a constructive way and AI is not used to harm people intentionally. They learned their lesson.

Are we forgetting how fast they rushed in to deploy Claude at the DoW with Palantir?

I hardly see how the Dow Jones in relevant here, that’s finance

Not Dow Jones. DoW = Department of War.

Oh sorry I forgot some people chose to subscribe to that disgusting name for the DoD

Oh yes Department of Defense is much less disgusting. Actually, why not just rename it to Ministry of Peace? We can call it Minipax for short.

Everything Anthropic does is theater. How have people not figured that out by now? Boggles the mind.

I did say “token effort” to “imagine” which is pretty far from “real effort“ to “achieve”.

Only Americans, Anthropic made it clear they don’t care about surveillance and military actions when it’s not about American citizens

Exactly. OAI didn't bury themselves. They didn't have to do anything special for this, they just had to let Anthropic be Anthropic and sit on the sidelines.
