"AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement." So wait a second, the DoW let OpeAI put the exact same clau…

The difference is how much money each CEO has contributed to Trump’s campaign.

Or how much crypto they bought. The grifts with this administration know no depths.

There's a rumor floating around that says basically, Amodei said "call us and we'll see" to a clear cut missile defense scenario. Perhaps the context of this is some part of the negotiations that we're not privy to. And might be where OAI and Anthropic differ, without any of them admitting it publicly.

You guys think American shouldn’t use AI in military at all isn’t understanding their counter party is absolutely all in on AI in theirs

We don't want to support Ai under Trump. We don't even want a department of war.

Well thank fuck you're not in charge. A lot of terrorist groups and foreign governments don't want us to have a department of war either.

I get the feeling they didn't like Anthropic from the start for whatever reason and just found excuses to dump them and find an alternative provider. There's also the possibility the DoW will still have its way and this is possibly only a statement for the public. P.S I'm not political (no left/right drama), just speculative.

The question is why was it so urgent to bring this up right now. The answer is that the US Navy has carrier battle groups stationed off the coast of Iran right now. US F22 fighter jets have been spotted on Israeli airfields by Chinese commercial satellites in the past 3 days. A full scale strike on Iran is imminent and they want to leverage LLMs for data analysis and quite possibly automated target selection. Literal…

So far this is correct, you were 40 minutes ahead of the news of the strike

All the ai gov drama is a giant shrug to me. The reality is uncle sam has all the power and whatever comes out of industry sam is gonna sam with just like any other gov. Ethics dont exist on the global stage. The privacy ship sailed decades ago. It all looks performative to me across all sides. The smart move is to side with gov using some hand wave jutsi about “we have a contract” to get access to sams big nuts. Sam…

I'd really like you to understand that saying this kind of thing means you're taking the government's side, even if you do it with cool ironic undertones. I'm religious enough that I'm particularly sensitive to this dynamic - there's a lot of pastors out there who talk about how we live in a fallen world as an excuse for why we don't need to bother opposing some particular injustice.

No. That is not true.

The whole, if u are not against them ur for them, argument scares me as so much more bad comes from it.

I am honest. I remember all the crypto validators buckling to sam when pressure came over sanctions. Same happened back with land lines, cell networks, and now AI too. All governments do this.

I dont like it. I dont want it. I vote against it. And it still happens. So i shrug as once again the same thing happens.

Just canceled my subscription and added their domain as 127.0.0.1 to my /etc/hosts. We too have a voice here. Do Not voluntarily fund the robot army.

I just cancelled as well. Time to test out the competition that have some morals left.

See your answer below, from the BBC:

An Anthropic spokeswoman added on Thursday that while the company received updated wording from the DoD for its contract on Wednesday night, it represented "virtually no progress on preventing Claude's use for mass surveillance of Americans or in fully autonomous weapons."

"New language framed as compromise was paired with legalese that would allow those safeguards to be disregarded at will," she said. "Despite [the Department of War's] recent public statements, these narrow safeguards have been the crux of our negotiations for months."

I don't think the pedofile thief king is going to help fix that.
