When a government serves the whims of an individual and instead of the function of their office, shirking agreed upon laws, etc, then you no longer have a government serving the people.
Sure, that’s why I said "on its face." This administration is obviously very different than most.
I don’t think Anthropic is wrong to include that clause with this particular administration, and I doubt the administration is internally framing the issue the way I did rather than defaulting to simple authoritarian instincts.
But a more reasonable administration could raise the same concern, and I think I would agree with them.
