My apologies. I must have confused them with someone else.

If you want to know how we got where we are, look up Tantura.


Were those upright people abducted by aliens when you started working with Palantir and the "DoW"?


Having values doesn't mean they're "the right" values nor the same as your values.

Regardless, it's still atypical in the context of an American company, and it can help explain the differences between Anthropic and its peers. That doesn't mean I agree with their decisions or that they're "the right" decisions, but I think it's a helpful framing in which to understand them.


Is “having values” just “stubborn” then?


I think the difference is the ability to be persuaded by a strong argument that you've critically evaluated.

Some people are unjustly called stubborn when they don't change their position based on a weak argument from an authority figure. And others claim values, but they're just stubbornly adhering to something that feels good to believe.


"Integrity" would be a fairer term. At least enough of it to not let money sway you.


The comment above is perfectly clear, and if you have been living under a rock since the Reagan years, that's on you.

See Elon talking about Tesla finally joining the S&P 500 so index funds would finally have to buy its shares. See a hundred examples where socialism is reserved for the few, the jungle and legal constraints for the rest of us.


Thank you for the important work you do.

So they get to decide when a transaction is in their national interest and do business on that basis?

That sounds like "sovereignty" to me. You don't need to be fully protectionist to be sovereign.

If you have an ax to grind with Lula, just say so.


The Hague Invasion Act takes care of that.


That would require a future president to choose to use the authorization.

President Davis The First isn't going to lift a finger to stop the ICC prosecuting former Secretary of Defense Hegseth, and, I suspect, neither would quite a few other potential future presidents.


There have been so many crimes and zero accountability. I frankly wouldn't know where to start, but maybe a good example is "collateral murder", which Assange has been persecuted for revealing for the better part of the past two decades.

At least we're not pretending anymore.
