You are claiming all americans must happily create weapons. Thats a silly statement to most americans and humans

Don't presume to put words in my mouth. I flagged your comment for lying about my claims.

Individual Americans aren't slaves. They can do as they please and are under no obligation to help build weapons for warfighters. But I think it's ridiculous and offensive for a US corporation to presume to take on a role as moral arbiters by placing arbitrary limits on US government use of certain products. There are larger issues here that need to be addressed through the political process, not through commercial software license agreements.

Sure, it wasnt fair for me to claim you said that, so I apologize. It was rude of me to frame my position in that manner, and wasnt intended maliciously.

I meant to suggest that corps being unable to take those positions results in such a world for Americans at those corps

A corporation is just a group of people. Anthropic isn't even public, and therefore it's directors aren't subject to any sort of fiduciary duty enshrined in law. They can collectively act as they wish.
