I wonder if one of the reasons Pete Hegseth is going so hard after Anthropic is that he and other idiots in the Pentagon unironically believes shit like AI 2027 and so wants to soft nationalize the frontier companies so to control the coming AGI.
That is absolutely the reason, or at least part of it. See: Pete Hegseth Got His Happy Meal and how AGI-is-nigh doomers own-goaled themselves
Reading comments cause I was bored, and had the misfortune to stumble upon this horribly formatted piece of work allegedly written by Claude
I mean after the Epstein Files you have to be either deliberately ignorant or incredibly dense to not realise the rich get off easily
the Pentagon’s CTO has AI psychosis now. sighhhhhhhhh
The whole argument can just be countered with “if the Pentagon believes Claude is sentient and a danger to the military, then why make a deal with OpenAI to use ChatGPT, another LLM similar to Claude? Wouldn’t that also be a danger of becoming sentient? and why are Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump planning to force Anthropic to comply after 6 months if they believe Claude shouldn’t be in the military?? Why did you ask Anthropic to let you use Claude for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons if you believed it was sentient and a danger??”
It just reeks of bullshit. “uhm actually we made Anthropic a supply chain risk because Claude is actually very dangerous and not because we’re doing banana republic shit to anyone who disagrees with us. we are a very responsible and safe government. please dont impeach trump.”
to follow this one up: there is now a new study about AI agents being dogshit at keeping code working over the long term
Anthropic is suing the Pentagon
This whole saga is a resounding “everyone sucks here”. but I’m gonna have to side with Anthropic on this one because at least they have some incredibly basic standards, which is far more than I can say for the current government and OpenAI
I fucking hope it’s soon
Dario Amodei Issues Groveling Apology for Daring to Criticize Trump Knowing this administration there’s no way Anthropic can strike an agreement again since the US Government is deadset on murderbots, so prepare for the whole industry to be domino’d
add another tally to “AI completely wipes out an important database” sighhhh
oh hey I remember reading that Donald Knuth paper earlier today, when it got posted by an AI youtube channel as ‘proof’ AI is on the path to AGI
while OpenAI deserves every bit of flack they get, it’s comical to see people who criticise OpenAI for creating a ‘war machine’ turn around and praise Anthropic when they were-by their own admission no less!-the first people to start using AI for military purposes
That’s precisely what I was thinking. Obviously I don’t want everyone to die but if you forced me to choose between apocalypse scenarios, I’m picking something painless and instantaneous- like a super-virus that activates immediately or a bullet in the head-over being slowly tortured to death via something like nuclear radiation or extreme heat
Altman claimed that the company would “amend our deal” to add the prohibition of “deliberate tracking, surveillance, or monitoring of US persons or nationals.”
…so the original statement was a lie then? the CEO who is notorious for being a liar lied? I am very surprised about this information.
I mean yeah I guess in a competition between getting a bullet directly through my brain, getting all my limbs chainsawed off with my head last and being drowned in boiling water, the bullet would win every time. Though the real perversely funniest outcome is if superintelligence turns out to be completely impossible and we fuck ourselves over with garbage to mediocre AI embedded in all our critical infrastructure
another Onion banger for these trying times
” Then you wake up in a cold sweat and can’t breathe at all, almost like you’re drowning—I guess from the weight of untold mobs of people leaping on you and ripping you apart”
the real Scam Altman would never feel any kind of remorse or emotion about this
