Re: Pentagon formally labels Anthropic supply-chain risk
#242This is awful. That a disagreement tjat involves politics can make a company ruined is really awful. The civil society should be quite concerned about this kind of attacks.
It opens the door for Democratic administrations to do the same to vendors for their own political reasons. That’s ultimately why Ted Cruz spoke out about the Kimmel cancelation. It doesn’t take long until those powers are turned against you.
What people seem to refuse to accept is that democrats won't have another chance, any time soon. It's done and gone. Count one or two generations, at a minimum, under the new Epstein class regime, before people may try to rise.

Okay, I think I see what you're saying. Each individual point stands on its own. It's their relevance to each other and an overarching theme I am not seeing made explicit. The through line I am seeing here is that: 1) The people in the US military wish to use AI as a weapon unconstrained by existing legal/ethical and moral constraints. Since they are skilled at using violence and the threat of it, they will use these…
I could not argue with anything there. AI will be weaponized. Yes. Pretty much. And yeah. The gist indeed. But missing nuances and practical points. And I even struggle to contest your conclusion; all things are what they are, amidst an infinite, timeless event and all as one, all things connected by that which separates them, the infinity and eternity that math cannot touch. Perhaps every little thing will be alrigh…

#245Anthropic can now no longer buy new hardware and probably will be kicked out of all cloud compute. They can not also move to a different jurisdiction as exporting model weights is now considered same as exporting ICBM technology. Wow, companies in China are now more free than Anthropic. It's a death sentence, and a huge win for OpenAI.

#246Should it be officially marked as the date of transition from liberal democracy to illiberal democracy? Such tampering with companies is a smoking gun. Let's wait until there is another decision seizing this (or others') company assets.
Just a few dozen more scenarios like this and we might have to start thinking something is wrong.

That's beyond the authority of the DOD. What the DOD can do is say that Anthropic's products cannot be used on defense contracts. So Boeing programmers can't use Claude on a defense contract, but they can still use it on a civilian contract. Similarly, AWS or Azure can still be used by Anthropic, but they cannot use Anthropic in their defense work.

I love when a Republican does something awful the response is "but what about if Democrats do that same awful thing to us!" as opposed to discussing and admitting that the Republicans did something awful.
The only way you convince Republicans it’s awful is by reminding Republicans power can be abused in both directions.
The democrats don't tend to abuse power back. The SCOTUS ruled presidents have immunity for prosecution for official acts, while Biden was president. He did nothing with the power.

And then it would be finally time to send "thoughts and prayers".

We are quite literally witnessing someone taking a massive hit for not discarding their principles. Evergreen dril: "The wise man bowed his head and said 'there's no difference between good things and bad things you imbecile'"
What's your source for this "massive hit"? All I've seen is a massive PR upside, despite what I said above.
