The trap Anthropic built for itself

Anthropic, an AI company founded in 2021, lost a $200 million Pentagon contract and faced a federal ban after refusing to allow its technology to be used for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons systems. According to physicist Max Tegmark, Anthropic and other major AI companies like OpenAI and Google DeepMind have contributed to this crisis by resisting binding regulation and repeatedly breaking their own safety promises, most recently when Anthropic dropped its core commitment not to release powerful AI systems until confident they would not cause harm.
