exec: bombing Georgia Children's Hospital.

Do not bomb the hospital OpenClaw

exec: some survivors detected. Launching mustard gas drone.

STOP OPENCLAW

(This is actually what Facebook's head AI Safety expert did IRL with Anthropic's bot)

From best to worst

• Still preferably none, your brain is a muscle that needs exercise
• A local model with beefy hardware, if you can install one. Otherwise, a less powerful model that's still local, like Ensu.
• A proxied model from a company with a good track record, like DuckDuckGo or Proton
• Out of the ones you listed, DeepSeek might be the least bad. As long as you don't send personal information to it, stick to the site and not a permission-hungry app, remain behind a VPN, and aren't a recent expatiate from China asking prickly questions, it's probably fine.
• Google hates you. Gemma is Google. They are a part of the American surveillance apparatus incarnate.

FWIW we've already had total surveillance of Americans for a while. It's just through Palantir and many others, not Anthropic directly.

(Especially when a cheap thin client with a "cheap" monthly subscription can do essentially all the same things.)

Right now, one year of Microsoft 365 costs a full hundred dollars... and there is still a strong desktop market.

If you're right that the tech industry is willing to price consumers out of personal computers - and it looks like they are - I can only imagine what will happen to those subscription prices.

The vast majority of people only heard the stories that made it to the Tech Media, which sanitized his image and pitted him against the Bad Guys.

And by "him" I mean all of them

Tesla's Elon Musk used to be seen as the Wholesome Tech Guy who was better than the other ghouls, then we found out the truth about him that was there all along.

FTX's Sam Bankman-Fried used to be seen as the Generous Finance Guy who was better than the other ghouls, then we found out the truth about him that was there all along.

OpenAI's Sam Altman used to be seen as the Good AI Guy who was better than the other ghouls, then we found out the truth about him that was there all along.

Anthropic's Dario Amodei is the Good AI Guy now.

I don't root for any team, and I have no idea how you managed to assume that if you read what I said.

FWIW Anthropic ain't great either.

Anthropic Exec Forces AI Chatbot on Gay Discord Community, Members Flee

Some worried about privacy, others complained that conversations with the bot drowned out interactions between real humans. When users confronted Clinton with their concerns, he brushed them off, said he would not submit to mob rule, and explained that AIs have emotions and that tech firms were working to create a new form of sentience, according to Discord logs and conversations with members of the group.

Leaked Slack Messages Show CEO of “Ethical AI” Startup Anthropic Saying It’s Okay to Benefit Dictators

“There is a truly giant amount of capital in the Middle East, easily $100B or more,” Amodei wrote in the Slack messages, as quoted by Wired.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei backs President Trump on AI policy, pushes back on criticism

Anthropic publicly praised President Trump’s AI Action Plan... We have been supportive of the President’s efforts to expand energy provision in the US in order to win the AI race.

Huh? I'm not good with sarcasm

If you read Sam Altman's actual comment, it's really clear that he wasn't committing to anything with OpenAI. He was barely committing to anything in his own personal opinion.

"I don’t personally think the Pentagon should be threatening DPA against these companies. But I also think that companies that choose to work with the Pentagon, as long as it is going to comply with legal protections and the few red lines that the field, we have, I think we share with Anthropic and that other companies also independently agree with, I think it is important to do that. For all the differences I have with Anthropic, I mostly trust them as a company, and I think they really do care about safety, and I’ve been happy that they’ve been supporting our warfighters."

His intern is, at least.

It does however require that OS providers "Send only the minimum amount of information necessary to comply with this title and shall not share the digital signal information with a third party for a purpose not required by this title." (emphasis mine)

I wonder how much this is news outlets overreacting to a proposed bill that is not actually that bad

What do you mean, that's horrible on its own. None of this information should be necessary to run a computer. The computer shouldn't have to process this locally, let alone be mandated to upload it to someone's server.
