As the "Are We the Baddies?" meme suggests. If you're a country's military, in a democracy, that wants to carry out mass civilian surveillance and use killer robots, maybe you're the one with the problem. Anthropic can be as principled as they like, there are plenty who'll be happy to help - Peter Thiel's Palantir is eager and enthusiastic about implementing this agenda.

It's depressing that none of the other Big Tech firms have any scruples about this.

And my bet is that the company who does, is not going to be all open about it.
