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.
- stavros 7mo agoAnthropic was fine doing the same, they just didn't want it done to Americans.
- AlexCoventry 7mo agoOpenAI agreeing to operate as Trump's secret police materially impacts your security as a European, though, because it cements Trump's power.
- stavros 7mo agoAgain, though, both of them agreed to that. Anthropic just didn't want to spy on Americans.
- AlexCoventry 7mo agoYou 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.
