From OpenAI's statement:
It specifically states their AI can't/won't be used for surveillance and autonomous weapons. Of course I'm not saying I trust them, but isn't this the same thing Anthropic says they're against? What's the difference here or what did I miss?
the 'no domestic surveillance' is just language that mirrors some limitations (from their pov) from the patriot act. They're still willing to surveil people outside the USA, and in fact all they have to do is route domestic traffic through an international part of a network and they can legally spy on domestic americans which is what already happens.
Anthropic put clauses in that were legally enforceable by future administrations. OpenAI says “yea we totally trust you bro”
Sam Altman is the king of the trust me bro and than backpedaling on it.
