I mostly agree. But I think some kinds of autonomous weapons would make loss-of-control and coups easier. But boosting US security is good so the net effect is unclear. And that’s very far from the recent news (and Anthropic has a Usage Policy, with exceptions, which disallows various uses — my guess is this is too strong on weapons).

I think usage policies should not be read as commitments, and so I think it would be reasonable to expect that Anthropic will allow weapon development if it becomes highly profitable (and in contrast to other things Anthropic has promised, to not be interpreted as a broken promise when they do so).
