Is there a good way to both support Anthropic for their integrity in not caving to the DoD and also loudly criticize Anthropic for walking back their RSP?
I think Ant employees should be reflecting on their company's ethical stance, about as much OAI employees, right now.
I would feel better about this week's activism against OAI, if it wasn't also letting Ant off the hook.
They're doing a crazy thing that endangers all our lives. They just took a step towards more risk, with an attitude of "trust us bro". We should pressure them about it.
I want them to feel bolstered that society has their back on this narrow point with DoD.
But society does not and should not have their back generically, on their overall plan to build superintelligence by automating AI R&D, or their decision to abandon their RSP.
I want to somehow coordinate a lot of people to express both those points at once.
But I think that's not really how activism works, and in any given week (at least) you need to pick a side and marshal support and narrative force for your side.
How can we do better?
