Tech workers urge DOD, Congress to withdraw Anthropic label as a supply-chain risk

This is employees trying to protect their paycheck and employer's reputation. It's not really about principle (even though that's the framing).

Here's the thing: the supply-chain risk label's actually reasonable. Anthropic's a single point of failure for advanced AI. But an open letter from workers isn't convincing—it's just "hey, people are mad at us."

Anthroptic's still taking DoD contracts, so the "we're principled" act is theater. You can't work with government and complain about supply-chain labels—those are the same thing.
