From that same X thread: Our agreement with the Department of War upholds our redlines [1] OpenAI has the same redlines as Anthopic based on Altman's statements [2]. However somehow Anthropic gets banished for upholding their redlines and OpenAI ends up with the cash?

They are obviously lying. OpenAI is not to be trusted anymore.

$25 million to be exact, one of Trump's largest individual donors. From a guy who "doesn't consider himself political", lol. [0] [0]: https://www.wired.com/story/openai-president-greg-brockman-p...

How can these people take themselves seriously? They're jokes.

“I think there's no decision ever that everyone at OpenAI agrees with,” Brockman says when I ask what his team thinks about the donations. “Even when we were 10 people. We’ve always been a truth-seeking culture. We have this scientific mission of discovery, and reality kind of doesn't care for your own opinion. It cares about what's true.”

After our interview, Brockman declined WIRED’s request for comment on the ICE shootings. Separately, he offered a more general statement clarifying his thoughts on the conversation with WIRED. "AI is a uniting technology, and can be so much bigger than what divides us today,” he said.

His justifications are just an ever changing rambling mess of word salad that never even come close to addressing the MAGA Inc donation specifically, who is this even for?

We're talking about a pretty straightforward donation to the incumbent President's Super PAC, not ASI solving world hunger or whatever.

OpenAI is playing games. When Anthropic says they have red lines, they mean "We refuse to let you use our models for these ends, even if it means losing nearly a billion dollars in business." When OpenAI says they have red lines, they mean "We are going to let the DoD do whatever the hell they want, but we will shake our fist at them while they do it." That's why they got the contract. The DoD was clear about what th…

Because using DoW is woke when the legal name is DoD.

Pretty ironic given their anti-woke agenda

Not even that. They are not shaking anything except their booty.

This implies that OpenAI must build and release and maintain a model without any safeguards, which is probably the big win and maybe something Anthropic never wants to do.

I don't think that is the correct conclusion. But they won't be releasing it, they will be leasing it to DOJ and all their other customers will get the safeguarded model.

Sorry, meant to write DoW / department of defense, not DOJ.

OpenAI donated $25,000,000 to Trump, that's why. Now people are cancelling ChatGPT subscriptions, so he needs to walk back the optics.

because most americans do not want war, at least id hope, so calling it that seems pretty short sited (maybe until you continually do that 'war' thing), if you want the citizens to look positively on your spending it should probably be for defense not war, again, at least i should hope. im just a dumb "lib" whatever that means

On the other hand calling it "Department of Defense" seems quite whitewashing of what it actually does.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_De... Stoping and questioning why somebody uses DoD or DoW is way more telling than using any of those. Especially that both are perfectly fine, even officially. A square was renamed in my home city about 20 years ago. We still use the original one usually, even teens know that name. I use a form of the original name of our main stadium which was renamed almos…

Or it could have just been a genuine question. I'm not American and I've seen DoW used in newspapers and thought the name change was official. Personally I've thought it a more apt and honest name for what they do.

But the backlash in the commments here show how ideologically charged the question seem to be.
