And killbots doesn't refer to some hypothetical Boston Dynamics robot, it's reaper drones. The same ones being used to bomb fishermen.
only way to stop a bad guy with a reaper drone is a good guy with a reaper drone.
NRDA?
Anthropic is performatively wringing their hands; we know they don't really mind causing harm because they're already complicit. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, and his anti-LGBT executive goon Jason Clinton, make Sam Altman look almost ethical and honest.
Is Grok not enough for them?
groks soley on TWITTER, not very useful. palintir/flock is more useful, since it has been used in ISRAELI/PALESTINE bombing and targeting and ukraine as well. plus mass surveillance in most countries.
My point being that there are plenty of models which are already much less restricted, why go after Anthropic?
Also, grok is not solely on twitter, and even if it was, a model is just some code that can be copied and deployed elsewhere.
