Are these all the changes that you're making and sharing or are more forthcoming? e.g. I see no added clarity on “no...direct[ing] autonomous weapons.” The word “direct” is vague and does not seemingly prohibit LLMs from being integrated into a kill chain.

The Anthropic-DOD skirmish is the first major public debate on control over frontier AI, and institutions behaved erratically, maliciously, and without clarity

On Anthropic and the Department of War  —  I.  —  A little more than a decade ago, I sat with my father and watched him die.

Frontier AI labs' military usage policies for their AI tools are incoherent, vague, and often change, which allows company leadership to preserve “optionality”

I led the Geopolitics Team at OpenAI for approximately three years and then joined two other teams before deciding to leave in June 2025.
