Apparently part of this whole battle is because Grok isn't up to part to be an acceptable alternative.

As far as we can tell, OpenAI and Google seem to be ok with it and not resisting. It would be easier for Anthropic's cause if they did.

It's better than actively aiding them. Make them struggle at every turn.

I think the warfighters are a distraction, a system could trivially say that there is a human in the loop for LLM-derived kill lists. My money is that the mass domestic surveillance is the true sticking point, because it’s exactly what you would use a LLM for today.
