Now you're worried? Come on. He is using the Bully Pulpit to try and pressure other companies to toeing the line. At least someone had the balls to tell them to get fucked instead of kowtowing.
He is also clearly in the throes of dementia, as his father was. It’s a common symptom of dementia patients to become rude and violent as their facilities slip away If only we had a constitutional process for removing presidents from office as they become obviously unfit for the office…

#83I 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?
The US will survive this, despite being damaged, because Trump and his team are incompetent and he’s in a bubble and no one tells him what is actually going on. The GOP is going to get crushed in the midterms. From that standpoint, Anthropic may simply be playing the long game, and playing it well.

#84Now will OpenAI have the same limits? LMAO at the US Government having to go with a Chinese open-source model...
I have a feeling they will end up going with grok.
> Demand from other agencies to use Grok has been anemic, people familiar with the matter said, except in a few cases where people wanted to use it to mimic a bad actor for defensive testing.

They'll probably try, but the problem is everyone actually using these models knows Grok sucks: [0]. > Demand from other agencies to use Grok has been anemic, people familiar with the matter said, except in a few cases where people wanted to use it to mimic a bad actor for defensive testing.

Elon mentioned they will be releasing a cli coding tool for grok similar to Claude Code, will be interesting to see how it performs given they have their own datacenter (largest in the world and building another larger one)

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.
