What AI to use for murder automation probably shouldn't be at the whim of a guy that can probably barely work a TV remote.

Maybe i should give Claude a try, thanks for recommendation pedo j. trump
So they signed a contract, decided they don't like the terms, now they're trying to extort Anthropic and gaslighting to claim Anthropic is strong arming them?
I fucking hate this administration man.
Anthropic took a stance against their AI in weapons and battlefield management systems. The government wants that ability and therefore chose to ban Anthropic as a supplier for government systems.
Yes but they already signed a contract WITH the safety limits in place.
I get that obviously they would want them removed, bit that is not what they signed.

You have to realize, what exactly Anthropic refused: To extend the current contract to two things:
- Autonomous Weapons (AI deciding on firing weapons to kill humans)
- AI-powered mass surveillance of american citizens
refusing those two things makes it to be the only AI company that is ""radical left"". Now Google, OpenAI or Grok will do what Anthropic has done already, plus mass surveillance plus AI-killcommands
At the very least, didn't Sam Altman/OpenAI say they intend to have these exact same restrictions?
Hahahahahahhahahhahahahahhahhaha

How are Anthropic left wing? I thought they were regarded as being not much better than ChatGPT?
everything 47 personally doesn't like is lunatic left. AOC? lunatic left. eating his broccoli? lunatic left. when his phone runs out of battery mid toilet tantrum? lunatic left
Two of the Supreme Court Justices he appointed? Believe it or not, lunatic left.
Trade deals he negotiated and signed. Believe it or not, lunatic left.
see, you get it. Melania doesn't do blowies anymore? lunatic left. representative Massey from Kentucky? lunatic left. his doctor telling him he shouldn't have more than one vitaball in a day? lunatic left

They're not. Standard lying and propaganda that they do. You can't trust in anything they say, in any reasoning they claim.
I'm just so tired of seeing 1984 and Brazil and Idiocracy and every other political warning and satire played out in the real world every goddamn day of my life

The absurdity to claim that Anthropic is strong-arming the DoD and forcing them to do anything when just the other day it was reported that the DoD was threatening this exact action if Anthropic didn't comply with their demands is laughable.
It feels like a pretty low bar to clear to tell this orange fuck to piss off, but at least one of the AI companies has a spine.
Anthropic is self righteous and self serving.
Like, I like local LLMs more than most, and Anthropic models are great at the moment, but don’t mistake Anthropic for having a spine.
I mean... this is losing them a 200 million dollar contract. And to one of their competitors who will gladly acquiesce, so it's hard to argue that this benefits them.
Good marketing to a bunch of left-wing people who hate AI, I guess, but that feels like Elon joining the Trump administration in hopes of selling Teslas to rednecks, it might work on a few, but I just can't imagine this is 4D chess that will make them a fortune when they're abandoning that much money immediately.
Their statement also came after the DOW threatened to put them on the list of companies that are totally banned from doing any business in America, usually reserved for Chinese companies that are deemed a national security threat, which would make it illegal for any company doing business in America to do any business with them, as they'd be added to the same list, which would have essentially killed Anthropic as a business entirely.
You don't have to love Anthropic because they did a good thing, they were fine with anything less than automatic killing and mass surveillance, after all, but I don't think it's correct to say this was sneaky and spineless somehow.

Serve Skynet or die... you traitorous scum, is exactly how Skynet gets started and ends.
Dude, this just gave Anthropic so much credibility. They can literally own the entire AI market now.
Before this, I hated Anthropic, and now I just feel neutral.
"pedophile Donald J Trump yells at the cloud"
Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow.
Anthropic yesterday:
Should the Department choose to offboard Anthropic, we will work to enable a smooth transition to another provider, avoiding any disruption to ongoing military planning, operations, or other critical missions. Our models will be available on the expansive terms we have proposed for as long as required. -Dario's Post

A spoiled brat writing a angry letter to santa saying his parents don't let him do stupid things.
Only it's the elected US President.
Good, let the nutjobs fight
What a fucking snowflake. Cry harder, bitch.
When the AI company only wants to be 99% Hitler (They're okay with their bot recommending bombing minorities overseas, but they don't want to be held liable when it pushes the button and the bomb comes down in America instead)

This is the kind of stuff I think about whenever a Democrat tries to tell me that Biden or Obama were powerless.
They could have done this to the makers of assault rifles in order to spur greater regulation in the wake of mass shootings. After all, they're certainly contracted with various federal entities.
That is, if they gave a shit.
