Right the red line wasn’t much of a line. If you’re drawing your line only at unconstitutional mass surveillance and allowing the DoD to build skynet because Claude’s not ready for it yet that’s not really a line of principle.

How is that not a line of principle? Principle doesn't mean where we'd all agree, nor does it mean what we'd deem acceptable, it just means there is a line somewhere - and mass surveillance or fully autonomous AI in the kill chain is a very clear principle.

[jLaForest]

It's unprincipled because the implication is that once claude improves enough to be trusted with autonomous killing the company will be ok with it.

It’s a line that no one else had enough backbone to draw so…

no one else at the time had chosen to be in the bed with the US military at the level anthropic was.
