I claim that even if the openai contract is not meaningfully weaker safety wise, it is still bad for openai to publicly signal solidarity with ant but then sign with DoW.
suppose hypothetically the only difference between the openai and anthropic contracts is that the DoW wanted a snicker bar, and anthropic didn't want to give DoW the snickers bar. even then, it would be a huge dick move for openai to publicly signal solidarity, and then sign with DoW to give them the snickers bar.
Anthropic negotiated a great deal and gave up the practical limits that are relevant to the military about using their models for cyber attacks, censorship and disinformation campaigns in the process.
