As Sydney Sweeney demonstrated, going MAGA is a bad marketing strategy and in the end just loses money

#63I read the terms regarding mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. Both OpenAI and Anthropic had similar holdbacks AFAICT. [0]
> The Pentagon has agreed to OpenAI's rules for deploying its technology safely in classified settings, though no contract has been signed, a source familiar with the talks tells Axios.
> Why it matters: The Pentagon has blasted OpenAI rival Anthropic for days, contending its red lines for AI use in the military -- mass surveillance and autonomous weapons -- are philosophical and "woke."
> Now, the department, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment, appears to have accepted OpenAI's similar conditions.
One big difference
OpenAI exec becomes top Trump donor with $25 million gift [1]
I guess that makes it "less woke". This is reprehensible political bullshit.

This is hardly surprising given that OpenAI already signed a military contract. [0]
Where was the open letter then? No-one cared.
Recently, Claude was already used by the administration for the operation in Venezuela [1] alongside Palantir. Anthropic did nothing at the time and again...
No-one cared.
Now everyone cares when Anthropic finally said No? The decision for the contract was already predetermined for OpenAI, even with the open letter.
So the question is, why wasn't the open letter against OpenAI done last year when they signed that first military contract?
Either way, it seems that OpenAI and Anthropic were all OK with the US government using their models for warfare so really there is no point in defending both of them or even the employees who knew beforehand.

#65The sheer irony of admitting spying on the global population from both.

How sure are we that something fishy isn't going on with the models and the alignment research teams and the answers the model is giving? Like maybe Claude's alignment made it worse at trying to mask as Allied Magacomputer than GPT and that's why they're up in arms?

If it’s in the cloud it’s not your computer. I assume there is no privacy in the cloud unless it’s locally encrypted and only stored there.

#69So dumb, I have to think it's astroturfed. Anthropic states they're not willing to help with autonomous weapons because it's not good enough yet, and suddenly everyone cancels their OAI subscription? I just don't get it

The sticking point seems to be that Anthropic didn't want to help the Trump regime spying on its own citizens (by using Claude to sift through mass-surveillance data)
