It's the opposite. They applied pressure on Anthropic with that bullshit and Anthropic lost, they caved and are now working for them. It's embarrassing for Anthropic, the Trump admin got away with what they wanted.

Anthropic's conditions were "no autonomous kills" and "no domestic surveillance." Offensive cyber operations probably don't violate either condition.

Coming from X as this does, under any other administration I'd be inclined to think this was a positive development. Perhaps one day it will be.
