Wall of Pride

Anthropic drew a line. No mass surveillance. No autonomous weapons without human oversight. The Pentagon demanded they erase it. They refused. The world responded.

We cannot in good conscience accede to their request.

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic

What happened: The Pentagon demanded Anthropic remove two safety guardrails — the ban on AI-driven mass domestic surveillance and the requirement for human oversight on autonomous weapons. Anthropic refused. They were designated a "supply chain risk," and President Trump ordered all federal agencies to stop using their technology. 330+ employees across Google and OpenAI signed an open letter in solidarity. Chalk messages of gratitude covered the sidewalks outside Anthropic's San Francisco headquarters.

Dozens of thank-you messages, American flags, and a Nelson Mandela quote on courage were chalked on the sidewalks outside Anthropic's headquarters.
