At the heart of Anthropic’s clashes with the U.S. government, a decision not to play by the new rules of Trump’s Washington

"At the heart of the conflict is a deliberate choice Anthropic has made: unlike nearly every other major tech company, it has refused to flatter or appease the White House. Washington insiders call it politically naïve. Anthropic’s employees and recruits, as well as some of the AI company’s customers, call it a feature." It's a feature. It's a feature that may yet lead to Anthropic moving its HQ out of the US, but it's still a feature.
