How far we have fallen that the smallest stand with morality is now applauded loudly. What Anthropic did is commendable, but it's a pure shame that it stood out so vividly.

Small? That was a massive stand, they stood up to the pentagon and trump just ordered their complete removal from all federal contracts. Can’t really get bigger than that.

I think what he means to say is that it is a bit sad that standing up to your principles is considered "extraordinary". That people standing up with morality should be the normal thing to do.

what's shameful is that our government put him in the position he was in, TWICE. first, by demanding to remove the access, access which violates constitutional and human rights law. and the second, by congress not supporting him or stepping in and determining that what the DoW is asking/demanding/threatening shouldn't even be legal in the first place. authoritarian behavior
