>we'll even buy compute from China if we can sell Anthropic models there. Considering that Anthropic mass-bans Chinese users accounts based on using VPN (used to circumvent the Chinese firewall) and then demands an ID or a residence permit of a country where Claude officially works to ensure that the user doesn't live in China, seems unlikely.

If the Chinese government tells Anthropic they can freely sell Claude in China, Dario is suddenly going to be kissing China's ass instead of saying how we can't let China win the AGI race for democracy and western values.

  After they told the US government no on a very large contract. I find that hard to believe.

    They told the US government no on using Claude for approving lethal military strikes. China can get plenty of value from Claude without needing to use it for anything similar. They very specifically avoided a trap where the next time the US blows up a school full of children they were very obviously going to blame Claude for it.

    While I agree with the sentiment, $200 Million is really not a big contract for Anthropic when they're on $44 Billion annual revenue. It's less than half a percent. https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/anthropic-ai-defense-department-contract-947d5f33 https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/anthropic-ai-defense-department-...
