After Anthropic said, we don't want to support mass domestic surveillance of Americans and we don't want to support autonomous weapons, you'll notice that Sam Altman jumped right in and said, we'll sell ChatGPT to the government to do both of those things.AI Verified source (2026)

An NPR transcript syndicated by public-radio affiliates for the March 30, 2026 interview attributes this statement to HARRIS (Tristan Harris), and the submitted wording matches the quoted portion of his answer; the full sentence in the transcript just has a brief lead-in before that portion.

Quote verified via web search (npr.org returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but search results reproduce the wording verbatim from the cited 30 Mar 2026 NPR interview "Expert talks about the Pentagon's use of artificial intelligence," also carried on numerous NPR affiliate mirrors — the primary source). Tristan Harris (Center for Humane Technology) is confirmed saying that after Anthropic refused to support mass domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons, "Sam Altman jumped right in and said, we'll sell ChatGPT to the government to do both of those things." Year 2026 correct, author attribution confirmed. Vote alignment: Harris frames Anthropic's refusal to support autonomous weapons approvingly while criticizing OpenAI's willingness, consistent with his "for" vote on "Ban autonomous lethal weapons."
