THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military.
The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution. Their selfishness is putting AMERICAN LIVES at risk, our Troops in danger, and our National Security in JEOPARDY.
Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology. We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again! There will be a Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic’s products, at various levels. 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.
WE will decide the fate of our Country — NOT some out-of-control, Radical Left AI company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
Ethics might be contagious, better not take the risk.
Maybe i should give Claude a try, thanks for recommendation pedo j. trump
Serve Skynet or die… you traitorous scum, is exactly how Skynet gets started and ends.
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
lol what’s the Melania one? I want to read his tweet on that.
oh he hasn’t tweeted about it. but she refuses to let him hold her hand
They’re not. Standard lying and propaganda that they do. You can’t trust in anything they say, in any reasoning they claim.
They said something once and now Trumpet is upset.
I wonder what kicked the tantrum off.
He didn’t get what he wanted, so it’s tantrum time until he does.
You know this is how he behaved growing up, his Orc parents indulged it, and that’s why he behaves like a spoiled child.
They are standing firm on two very reasonable AI guardrails that the Pentagon wants removed.
Anthropic has drawn two red lines: no mass surveillance of Americans and no fully autonomous weapons.
Oddly enough this positions Anthropic as the sole big player in the (seriously disastrously) complicit landscape of roughly ALL large tech I’m aware of, to say nothing of AI, willing to refuse, and do so publicly, over something that matters, while that thing invites big $$$.
I hate to say this, but this really should be (tentatively, but ideally dramatically) rewarded.
Like a large scared dog, on a leash, in a yard with a bunch of even bigger ones. Ones with leashes held by something permanently unreliable, and all the dogs know it.
And Anthropic is the only one that does the “play bow”. And we don’t get to leave the yard.
What we do get is bad, and big, choices to be made.
IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology
There will be a Six Month phase out period
What a fucking moron.
He used Claude to write this. Also, it’s a false flag, Anthropic will still snitch on you.
Don’t think it’s a false flag, he’s personally pissed at them and they’re losing their juicy contract to ClosedAI.
Doesn’t change the fact that they’re an American corporation and will absolutely snitch on you though.
I don’t think that’s what ya mean with “false flag”, that’s a little specific (could also be me missing your point of course).
But hard agree. Even despite this, it looks good, sure - but let time earn trust, it will find it if there’s any to be found.
Until then - nonetheless, I say reward the moves that look like “we don’t need you”, to fascists. It ain’t much but it’s something.
Anthropic will release 17 updates in that time. They don’t care.
Good, let the nutjobs fight
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.
He doesn’t say anything about breaking a signed contract. Simply that Anthropic will be phased out and no longer used by the government.
As a corollary, I doubt Anthropic’s contract will be renewed when the current one expires.
Edit: Grammar
They deemed them a supply chain vulnerability.
That’s not the same as choosing not to renew a contract.
Trump and Hegseth tried two different things simultaneously. They tried to deem Anthropic both a hostile actor, which would cut all DoD contracts off completely, and then also tried to declare them essential and force them to ignore the safety limits set forth in the contract, which is the supply chain thing.
So yeah, the incompetence is showing as it always is.
They deemed them a supply chain vulnerability.
This is the justification for phasing them out and (presumably) not renewing the contract. Happens all the time. Usually with less angry internet posts and more quiet paper pushing.
It’s one of the reasons DoD things can be expensive. DoD contractors aren’t allowed to use the cheap Chinese supplier, for example.
No, they declared them a supply chain vulnerability and that all companies that do business with the DoD are forbidden from doing business with Anthropic.
What that means in terms of AWS and Google Cloud being DoD contractors and being used to serve Anthropic’s models is still unclear. Potentially this means they can’t.
This is not just justification, this was extortion, and now is them doing their best to destroy this company for standing up to them.
Depends on how long the contract is, and who the administration is when that happens.
it will be Trump unless someone deals with him in 6 months
Oh. Didn’t realize the contracts were just 6 months long. I thought they were more like 10 years or something.
He doesn’t say anything about breaking a signed contract
Ofc he wouldn’t say that, especially if it’s true LOL
This is exactly what he did with every single trade deal he spent the last year working on. It’s a pattern of behavior.
And basically why we’re where we are with Iran.
Yeah, you can’t do business with the US government anymore. It’s just not feasible.
The funniest and dumbest part of this is how he doesn’t want the "radical left AI making military decisions… When what he was pissed about is the denial of anthropic in making the final military decision to launch missiles and fire weapons to kill.
So he’s pissed at what was allowed, and he’s pissed at what wasn’t allowed?
This reads like a Star Wars opening crawl: https://starwarsintrogenerator.com/scroller?u=26zznrtq
Imagine if Star Wars opening crawls read like midnight Palpatine rants on ForceSocial.
Missed opportunity to use Episode 8647
This is amazing. Thank you!
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.
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
It’s crazy how not only ethics but now safety is “radically left”
Yeah, one of the two was a pure safety play, not even ethics.
If I sell the military an ATV for shuffling things around on base, I might engineer a speed limiter to prevent the ATV from going faster than what its safety features are rated at. But a demand that I remove the governor so that the vehicle can go all lawful speeds totally misses the point. Whether it is illegal or unethical to do so, it’s still bad engineering to use dangerous technology beyond the scope of what it (and its safety features) has been designed for.
Well, extremists love to abuse the concept of context
At the very least, didn’t Sam Altman/OpenAI say they intend to have these exact same restrictions?
Yeah, Sam Altman says a lot of things…
like that he didn’t rape his sister
Isn’t Altman Gay?
rape and sexual impropriety are about power and control, not sexual orientation.
Hahahahahahhahahhahahahahhahhaha
aaand he gave up on them already 😂
Sam Altman the infamous grifter? The same Altman whose foot in the door into the tech industry was inflating user numbers to get his app sold? That Sam Altman?
Well, there’s news about them being the replacement. So, no, they won’t.
I don’t want to paraphrase him out of context, so here is his full statement:
“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.”
Just listened to the “Search Engine” episode about anthropic that I think came out today? I am happy they stuck to their guns, but also, yeah google, open AI, grok, whatever, will happily do whatever crimes against humanity
Yeah, it’s going to be Grok. Who wouldn’t want an autonomous Mecha-Hitler killing things?
And Anthropic refused? Surely they must be the evil ones!
“pedophile Donald J Trump yells at the cloud”
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.
Eh, the context I was thinking of is that they are constantly playing “safety theatre” where it absolutely doesn’t matter. They’ve tried to kill open models and basically capture regulators by misleading or outright lying, for their benefit.
In other words, this is a case of “a broken clock is right sometimes,” and I think they knew Trump will back down.
Fair, I definitely haven’t simped for them in the past just because they post some good articles on AI safety.
Although… I’ll say of them, they seem more like what OpenAI should be, actually trying to implement AI responsibly, and freely sharing that information. It’s good research, even if marketing is the motivation. Meanwhile OpenAI, the “charity” that’s supposed to guide us to a responsible AI future, moved their most addictive and mentally dangerous model to the highest paid tier instead of actually killing it until very recently.
Although at the end of the day, Anthropic is a for-profit company, in a better world they wouldn’t have released models publicly before this research was actually done and pressing dangers like AI psychosis were actually safeguarded against. Better late than never, sure, but the whole industry has done a lot of damage already, and the work of resolving the issues still isn’t even close to done.
I’m betting this ends with Amthropic somehow giving him money.
Sadly you’re almost certainly right, at least eventually.
You are asking for eternity from that which is temporary.
I’m not too familiar with the specifics, but didn’t they put their foot down about just two safeguards? Sure, it’s having a spine, but I have to wonder if the line they draw isn’t a bit too far either way.
Every day I am more astounded that anyone voted for this absolute moron.
Unfortunately, I’m not surprised in the least.
During his first term, he wasn’t nearly as unhinged as he was during this term, because he was still building his cult, which he continued doing after he lost the 2020 election. With the 2024 election, virtually everything lined up in his favor. The Democratic candidate was somebody who had not even been in the primaries, the size of his cult was at an all-time high, and the political division was even further increased from 2016. Even with all that in his favor, he still didn’t show his most unhinged ideas until after the election.
Anybody with a reasonable amount of intelligence would obviously have voted against him, but forward thinking doesn’t seem to be a common trait these days.
No sensible party would rely on reasonably intelligent voters.
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.
You should still hate it.
I hate it again https://warclaude-alpha.vercel.app/
Feel like elaborating any? Looks like pretty over-the-top satire at a glance, but I’d always rather hear from people than read docs, “search things up” (for fuck’s sake lol), etc.
Dario revealed he doesn’t allow using his AI for surveillance and weapons-not because it’s unethical, but because AI isn’t good enough. He said he would gladly help with the surveillance of others and assist in automated killing with better accuracy.
Oh gotcha. My bad that was clear to me going in, def a whoosh
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
Time for some V For Vendetta me thinks.
Yeah. A good thick slice of Anarchism might be what we need to reset things.
That is Anarchism, with capital “A”, the anti-authority ideology.
wanton violence doesn’t really work, this has been tried before. you need precise and well thought out violence. last i bothered to check, something like 70-80% of the $ behind far-right america comes from like <20 people (<100 if you extrapolate that out to the world).
Where did they mention wanton violence? That’s not what anarchism is, and that’s also not what’s portrayed in V for Vendetta.
been awhile since i watched V for Vendetta, i remember it as basically just The Purge with accents and a little more monologuing
You should give it another viewing. There’s violence, but it’s not just random murder for its own sake like in The Purge. The protagonist carries out a series of targeted assassinations against people who were involved in detaining and experimenting on him in a concentration camp, and blows up a couple of empty buildings at the beginning and end of the movie in a symbolic act of defiance against a fascist regime. There’s a bit towards the end where he ships a bunch of guy fawkes masks to everyone and there’s some robbing and looting, but no killing until a secret police guy shoots an unarmed child in the street and some people jump him. The plot overall is about people rising up against and toppling a fascist regime, which is pretty relevant to current events.
