IMO, OpenAI have either implicitly committed to becoming the IT service for Trump's secret police, or they've willingly signed up for the harsh retaliation Anthropic's getting, knowing that the Trump administration will inevitably try to push OpenAI around in the same way, if they meaningfully refuse to assist in domestic mass surveillance efforts.


Anthropic was fine doing the same, they just didn't want it done to Americans.


OpenAI agreeing to operate as Trump's secret police materially impacts your security as a European, though, because it cements Trump's power.


Again, though, both of them agreed to that. Anthropic just didn't want to spy on Americans.


You can argue a moral equivalence, I guess, but on a practical level, OpenAI's decision is more dangerous for everyone, because it will help to secure Trump as a dictator.
