Yes, you are doing it too with antropic an xAI. I don't get your point. xAI and OpenAI are a little worst? Maybe, still very well fascism.

  IMO, OpenAI have either implicitly committed to becoming the IT service for Trump's secret police, or they've willingly signed up for the harsh retaliation Anthropic's getting, knowing that the Trump administration will inevitably try to push OpenAI around in the same way, if they meaningfully refuse to assist in domestic mass surveillance efforts.

    Anthropic was fine doing the same, they just didn't want it done to Americans.
    • AlexCoventry 7mo ago
      OpenAI agreeing to operate as Trump's secret police materially impacts your security as a European, though, because it cements Trump's power.
      • stavros 7mo ago
        Again, though, both of them agreed to that. Anthropic just didn't want to spy on Americans.
        • AlexCoventry 7mo ago
          You can argue a moral equivalence, I guess, but on a practical level, OpenAI's decision is more dangerous for everyone, because it will help to secure Trump as a dictator.

  Quite a lot worse. Both OpenAI and xAI were among the largest donors of Trump's campaign Musk was the largest individual political donor of the 2024 election [1] and Greg Brockman was the largest donor to Trump's "MAGA Inc" super PAC [2] [1] https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/12/06/elon-musk-trump-campaign-spending-fec/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/12/06/elon-mu...

    You’re right, Anthropic is quite a bit worse https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/03/04/anthropic-ai-iran-campaign/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/03/04/anthrop...

      Wait - are you missing all the context on this? Anthropic pushed back against this hard, there was a whole back and forth. I'm on mobile and can't look it up for you atm but if you google about this scenario, Anthropic definitely come out of this looking a lot better than OpenAI and xAI
      • Robdel12 7mo ago
        Did you read the article? Or are you just replying? Anthropic has literally been working with the DoD and Plantair for 2 years now. They were key to the Iran invasion. If thats “looking better”, keep it.

          Key being “worked”, past tense Now they’re blacklisted from government work (appeal pending) and OpenAI practically jumped to replace them immediately
