Take that, Trump

[MNW67]

Can you imagine the Republicans passing any sort of legislation. The only hope we have at the moment is if a company like Anthropic prospers. Its stance had been incredibly popular and it was growing exponentially. This might be why Trump is now trying to destroy it. That is a disaster for everyone. Big picture!

It's really something for the United Nations. Its on the scale of Space exploration, NBC weapons etc.

Anthropic AI is down, I wonder if someone cut the service's infrastructure.

 

[MNW67]

US intelligence services most likely.

fascism.

Correct.

Trump - a hideous stain on the human race.

Interesting:

We think our agreement has more guardrails than any previous agreement for classified AI deployments, including Anthropic’s. Here’s why.

Maybe there will be a deal shortly? Maybe they were out sold.

Nobody believes them.

Load of techno waffle.

All very noble of them but whatever they won't do, somebody else will. Fun watching trumpy flap, though.
Do I want MY country using AI to guide autonomous weapons? Sure as hell yes.
I am certain some Johnny foreigner is going to use them against me.

Which AI will win? This feels a bit like the Video2000 vs VHS vs Betamax race.
"Best" doesn't mean you necessarily win.

The other issue, for those interested in the big picture, is that this is just another example of the slide into autocracy:

Trump sanctions lawyers who represent people challenging his policies.
Trump threatens to cancel the broadcast licences of TV networks unless they ditch shows critical of him.
Trump prosecutes opposition politicians for criticising his policies.
And as in this case, Trump attempts to destroy private companies who refuse to go along with his policies.

And this site is full of people who absolutely love all that.

the route to stopping "bad" AI is via democracy and legislation.

Democracy, and legislation which constrains the Executive, are no longer options in the USA.

 

[morqthana]

its not much use, if the next guy steps in, as has happened.

My Lord, the reason my client supplied the cocaine was that he knew if he didn't, somebody else would, so he thought that it was pointless to refuse.

Antipersonnel mines?

Cluster munitions?

Chemical and biological weapons?

Always. Spain are his latest thorn (titter).

Aside from the insane valuations of 100x revenue. You can see that OpenAI is in a funding loop with all the major tech stocks. They all seem to be funding and placing orders with each other. MSFT, ORCL NVDA etc.

Nobody cares that the free tier users are boycotting the platform.

What a surprise

"Artificial intelligence company Anthropic has resumed discussions with the United States Department of Defence over the potential use of its AI technology by the US military."
