    Anthropic has voiced fears its Claude models would be used in
    autonomous weapons systems and mass domestic surveillance, with the Pentagon threatening to terminate its $200 million contract with the AI provider in response.

    That might be a good selling point. "It's the other AIs running the
    hunter-killer drones in your neighborhood..."

    That is sort of my thinking, that this could turn into some free
    advertising for Claude. Makes me think better of them... like "maybe their robot overlords will be a little more empathetic than the others...
    especially xAI's!" :D
