No judgement here, but a US-based corporation refusing services to the US Government?

While the terms of service are what they are, the US Government can withdraw its military contracts from Anthropic (or refuse future contracts if they don't have any so far). Or softly suggest to its own contractors to limit their business dealings with Anthropic. Then Anthropic will have hard time securing computing from NVIDIA, AWS, Google, MSFT, Oracle, etc...

This won't last.

I am of an age where I read comments like this with my mouth agape. It is (was) perfectly normal to choose whether or not to do business with the government.

A lot of abnormal things happen when your government becomes a dictatorship.
