'We shouldn't have rushed to get this out on Friday': OpenAI hastily amends the terms of its controversial deal with the US Department of War as CEO Sam Altman claims it's been a 'good learning experience'

After a very public falling out between Anthropic and the US Department of War late last week—in which the former refused to remove safeguards preventing its AI tools from being used for autonomous weaponry and mass surveillance purposes—OpenAI stepped into the vacuum with a deal to use its own AI tools in the US military's systems.

However, after reaching an agreement with the Pentagon on Friday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has since announced that his company will be amending the language used within the deal (via BBC News).
