The messaging is not normal, the intent is absolutely abhorrent. With every passing week, the rhetoric coming from him gets more violent: I'm worried.

#72I guess Sama is happy. Also I wonder what's happening with democracy in the US, with this level of presidential control to mess up everything, is US moving towards dictatorship?
You cant be serious. We are well past democracy and deep into fascism. Ask yourself, how many of the 14 points do you recognize? https://ratical.org/ratville/CAH/fasci14chars.html
You might be right, I am getting worried more and more for upcoming 2039-2045 years

#75Does this mean the pentagon backed down from the SCR threat?
Looks like the answer is no, it did in fact label them a SCR https://www.axios.com/2026/02/27/anthropic-pentagon-supply-c...

#76For anybody who thinks it's about Trump vs other administration: it's not, both AI surveillance of all people and using it for automatic fight was just bound to happen. The only question is whether the safety of the models were really done well enough to protect the people and be a net positive force in the world. I guess if they would be safely trained to do more good than bad (how Dario and SamA said), there wouldn…
It would/will be extremely irresponsible to put non-deterministic and fallible models in charge of weapons. We are not close to having solved the problem of ensuring AI pursues good outcomes
Re: President Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems
#77Something interesting is going on around Trump's rants. Some White House staffers are directing lower-level staff to ignore them and focus on the economy. James Blair [2] seems to be leading this. Blair was in charge of political strategy for Trump's campaign, and he won, so he's probably not going to be fired.
There have been presidents in decline who were semi-captured by their staffs. Biden, Reagan, and Roosevelt all were. It may be that Trump gets trotted out now and then to deliver his standard speech (his speeches all have roughly the same content, regardless of subject or venue), but the work of the White House involves him less.
Watch to see which threats get followed up with action, and which ones don't.

#78Earlier quoted context omitted.
Does anyone know (more precisely) what the military wanted to use Claude for and what Anthropic was resisting?
Their statement called out automatic weapons targeting and domestic surveillance as two lines they would not cross
But.. we already have automatic weapons targeting systems and the PATRIOT act, which enjoys bi-partisan support already providing basically limitless domestic surveillance.

I mentioned his insane threats to Netflix earlier and tried to Google an article that referenced it. None of them linked or even broadly quoted it. There's been a concerted effort to hide the fact that the US President is posting insane shit every day for years.
You really think it’s him tapping away those Troots?
