In this case, the govt used Anthropic's word in the way Anthropic wanted them to.

Anthropic has publicly stated that AI is too powerful and needs to be regulated. They've done this repeatedly. More recently, they've withheld releasing Mythos claiming that it's not safe.

Sacks isn't using Anthropic's words against them. He's more or less doing what they asked!

The crypto "industry" had a series of multi-$B scams, seems like strong regulation would be called for. On the other hand, Trump executed a rug pulling token for himself and his wife days before his 2nd term and sells pardons to fraudsters and money launders. I know that inspires confidence.

And Biden ran a secret covert war using the banking system which is also questionably legal. At least with the current you know what is happening and what is allowed.

Amazing, have you checked the tariff situation? The war in Iran? Killing people in boats in South America? The personal slush fund? Knocking down the white house? Hiring and firing felons for the cabinet?

The list goes on and on for things that defy understanding what is happening and what is allowed, you are genuinely not credible.

They literally do -- see above, where the red line they refused to cross involved fully autonomous kill bots (which would be a war crime), and for which they were branded a supply chain risk, thrown out of Pentagon contracts, and now enjoined from releasing their product. You can not like that Claude was involved in the planning that led to the murder of a bunch of schoolgirls, but stop playing pretend.

It's just a fact that Claude has already been used to commit war crimes and Anthropic has had zero issue with it. I don't know what else there is to say about it. Also, not that it really matters but building a fully autonomous kill bot is not actually a war crime.

Claude has been involved in the planning of a war crime, for sure. But 'Anthropic has had zero issue with it' is an unfounded assertion that you are making up.

Fielding a fully autonomous kill bot is absolutely a war crime under the IHL; specifically, there is no current universe under which a bot can reliably tell a combatant from a non-combatant, or a civilian target from a military target, or act in a proportional manner.

This is such an insidey job corrupt Trump admin situation. As an Anthropic partner and a massive web infra provider themselves, the reasonable move here would have been to go directly to Anthropic to report this jailbreak. The same way any other sort of software security vulnerability is reported and dealt with. "Hey buddy, uhh, we need to show you something" and they fix it, and you continue to work together and col…

We need a source on this "left wing conspiracy". People like you need to quote sources. You seem dishonest.

"everyone knows the security threat is a pretext." On what planet? Anthropic itself made a big stink about Mythos being able to hack every app out there, and very dangerous as a result. Many reports have confirmed this.

‘every app out there’ - bwahahaha

Maybe every vibe-coded app?

The industry is infested with scammers, what a great idea to tie the stability of the banking system to it.

So you would categorize bribes and North Korean style displays of fealty as a normal part of doing business?
