After seeing headlines about the ufc fight on the White House lawn and seeing headlines about how Japanese World Cup fans clean up trash after the match I had an image of programmers doing lawn care at the White House...

i 100% thought this article was going to be about cleaning up the idiocracy festival from the past weekend. didn't even question the fact that people from anthropic would be there to help, seemed like a fitting asskiss.

That was seriously what I thought the headline is about. Anthropic flying in their employees to clean up the trash after Trumps birthday party for free to demonstrate their obedience with a good show of licking the Dear Leader's boots. Extremely silly of course, but entirely in line with all the other news currently coming out of the US ;)

    Ignoring the whataboutism here, what about it was distasteful? Please see HN rule #1, this is not the community for that kind of discourse.

        And they were banned. What’s the real problem here. Spell it out for us.

    Are you upset that the Whitehouse invited citizens to the lawn, or are you upset that they banned someone who was behaving distastefully?

      You can't ban the president from the White House. /s

    Being angry about one thing does not mean someone is ok with another. And the context is quite different. The complaint about Trump relates more to what he is doing. Your complaint about Biden relates to something a party invitee did. I guess a similarity is an element of virtue signalling. But if that is something you have a problem with then you must really hate Donald Trump because that seems to be his entire presidency. And the fight against homophobia is a legitimately virtuous activity. Right and wrong do exist.
