Anthropic declined to agree to similar "any lawful purpose" terms earlier this year, insisting on explicit restrictions against autonomous weapons and domestic mass surveillance. The Pentagon responded by designating the company a supply chain risk , a label a federal judge later called "Orwellian" while blocking its enforcement. That litigation remains ongoing.

DS426 Anthropic declined to agree to similar "any lawful purpose" terms earlier this year, insisting on explicit restrictions against autonomous weapons and domestic mass surveillance. The Pentagon responded by designating the company a supply chain risk, a label a federal judge later called "Orwellian" while blocking its enforcement. That litigation remains ongoing. Anthropic was right in principal and then tangibly displayed as right by that move by the Pentagon. Great term that that judge used after such petty punishment move. Who's the gatekeeper and enforcer of "any lawful purpose?" It gets a lot harder to track this when we're talking about classified information. Reply

This is the part that stuck out to me too, as the current administration has already done several things that are deemed as unlawful or unconstitutional, so if they are deciding what's "unlawful" and what's not, then who knows what purposes they will use it for.
