More like not ignoring the company owned by one of the president's biggest donors warning said president's administration about your model. Anthropic basically tried to close their eyes to make this go away. Which of course backfired spectacularly and led to one of the biggest release fuck-ups of all time. OpenAI saw that and simply decided to not do it that way. Any sane business would have done the same.

Well, somebody has to see that you bribed them, so yes?

Modern politicking is so easy.

I think you just have to be smart enough that when the administration calls up and says "amazon, the nsa, and half a dozen other companies say we have a problem" your response isn't "well, actually we don't."
