| They should be collecting signatures from employees at xAI. I think they're probably most likely to fill the space left by Anthropic. |

| XAI has already announced they are 100% in https://x.ai/news/us-gov-dept-of-war |

| Everyone knows anyone who signs this from xAI will be a former employee by tomorrow. |

| ▲ | ocdtrekkie 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | Both the automated verification methods depend on Google servers and Google can almost certainly retrieve that data if they want to regardless of if the signers or verifiers delete it. |

| ▲ | ocdtrekkie 5 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | You're assuming a lot about Elon's ability to assemble and execute a process competently. They will probably end up hiring people off this list and firing them later. I think what is much more interesting is what OpenAI and Google will do. There's probably some threshold of signatories where the companies in question do not fire everyone when they decide they want the DoD's business, the question will be how many people have to sign to cross it... and will enough people sign. I don't think Google would bat an eye at firing 500 people to secure a DoD contract, but would they fire 5,000? |

| There is a specific kind of person that joins xAI over the other companies and it is definitely not a moral one. |
