- Having principles and sticking to them is not opposing.

- Just because you don't do everything someone wants you to do does not make you a supply chain risk.

My point is did everyone know all of those principals and how committed Anthropic was to them from the beginning or did new information come in and now they need to adjust. Just because something is a term in a contract that doesn't mean it's necessarily strongly held belief that will never change.

So you renegotiate the contract. You don't get to retaliate.

Only it turns out that with sufficient corruption, you do.

Who runs the government changes every 2 to 4 years… are you suggesting we completely swap every vendor in the US government to align with whatever political party is in office?

There’s nothing indicating Anthropic was not keeping their end of the contract. If they had, there would have been other recourse.

>are you suggesting we completely swap every vendor

I think American companies should be supporting the government as much as possible. Even when it switches.

>There’s nothing indicating Anthropic was not keeping their end of the contract.

Which is why we are talking about risk and not breach of contract.
