  • "Cancel ChatGPT" movement goes mainstream after OpenAI closes deal with U.S. Department of War — as Anthropic refuses to surveil American citizens

    Jump

  • I missed when sucking up to the Trump administration and echoing Cold War style nationalism was "fair". If that's the case, OpenAI's behavior is fair.

    Fully autonomous weapons (those that take humans out of the loop entirely and automate selecting and engaging targets) may prove critical for our national defense. We have offered to work directly with the Department of War on R&D to improve the reliability of these systems.

    Our strong preference is to continue to serve the Department and our warfighters

  • Interesting. I appreciate you doing the digging to check. It's frustrating that people spent so much time looking at the fact that Anthropic had an uncrossed red line, they didn't look at all the red lines that were already crossed - in the very article about those supposed red lines. Such is PR I guess.

    I suppose you saw that "He Will Not Divide Us 2.0" letter from OpenAI and Google employees who promised to stand behind Anthropic. Never mind the fact OpenAI split.... Doesn't anybody know Google already does mass surveillance of Americans?

    ...I ramble.

  • I have a question about those guardrails. At any point, did any of your accounts get disabled for discussing abuse in this (or any) context?

    I('m guessing this happened zero times, which probably means those guardrails are just irritating suggestions designed to keep you prompting...)

  • Every example we have of Anthropic's behavior paints a picture of an immoral company that pretends to be moral. It's bad enough that they continue doing harm, but then they dress it up with phrases like "AI Safety" and "Information Security". (And every press release they create to describe how scary good their system is, tends to be followed up by a sudden cash infusion from an openly morally bankrupt company like Google or Amazon.)

    I reserve zero empathy for the people on the abuser side of an abusive dynamic. Maybe Elon Musk is autistic too. I don't really care. Only Moloch knows their hearts. I'll judge them for their actions.

  • Jason Clinton is Anthropic’s Deputy Chief Information Security Officer. That means Jason knew better, and he was using his position as a moderator (and supposedly a security expert) to try gaslighting a vulnerable minority into believing his favorite toy was "secure" when it was not.

  • "Guardrail" and "toothless" are basically synonymous, based on the pile of evidence that these multi-billion-dollar tech companies have been helping people kill themselves and hide the evidence.

  • Sorry, not quite, but close. From 404 media

    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.

  • Anthropic is scum, accepting money from foreign dictators, forcing their software on minorities while insisting it was conscious and had emotions just like them, praising the Trump administration, making up scary stories to get more funding...

    ...In many ways, they're worse than OpenAI. They're just running with the same playbook that Sam Altman used to use to pretend he was a good guy.

  • It's rude to show AI output to people | Alex Martsinovich

    Jump

  • This is sad, really. People are fed the lie that AI is objective, and apparently they think that they will get the objective summary of what you said if they run it through a chatbot.

    And the more people interact with chatbots, the harder they find it to interact outside of the chatbots. So they might feel even more uncomfortable with asking you to summarize yourself. So they go back to the chatbot. It's a self-perpetuating cycle.

  • We weren't, but since you bring it up, if the CEOs of AI companies did have souls, they would be going to the worst hell imaginable.

  • It does multiple bad things.

    Saying "aha, you used to say you hated deception, but now you hate another bad thing" is not a gotcha.

    I dislike many bad things, but you seem locked into defending AI at all costs. Please go back to Reddit.

  • This was 3 or 4 days ago.

    I thought of it after Anthropic virtuously announced they would not create autonomous murder devices for the US government (but basically everything else was on the table). Because I'm pretty sure the US military could have just used an Anthropic OpenClaw to bomb civilians as easily as this Facebook AI Safety expert used OpenClaw to destroy her emails.
