    This smells like corruption to me.

    OpenAI has hacked several prominent entities and is allowed to do business as usual but Anthropic putting guardrails on the military's usage of AI is the national security threat while Pentagon itself said that over reliance on AI lead to that attack on school in Minab.

    I have also learned that OpenAI's president is a big maga donor and now I am thinking of cancelling my OpenAI membership todau and signing up with Anthropic again.

    Edit - i am not a OAI hater and i don't hate anyone. I am just saying Anthropic is kinda getting bullied and OAI is not being punished enough for their actions. It is time for me to support Anthropic (with my $$$) instead of OAI.

      So you claim: If a similar thing would be filed against OpenAI, it would stand up in court.

      That is still not corruption, yet. Also in Germany it is the executive branch which controls who is sued or policed by the stately organs.

      So favorism can be passed down this way, but not we are not at corruption yet. If reciprocity is expected, then you could call it that. Or could perhaps even file for negligence in treating all other company actors the same, especially if you are Anthropic yourself.

      Still, I blame the US voters as much as the current administration if the later is just clowns and thieves.

      Also, IANAL and HN discussing US things is always foreign to me.

        If the president favors one party over another with no clear benefit to the voters, that is very indicative of corruption. If his organization is also getting donations from said party, it is even more certain to be corruption.

        You argue that the courts are not corrupt, hence there is no corruption. Without considering the president.
