Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

Is your personal experience of the internet (overall, inclusive) basically positive or negative?

They showed us cute missing dogs & we consented to a mass human tracking system. I think Ring's wants to be Flock. On steroids. Because instead of just sketchy cameras in parking lots, Search Party will cover your own backyards & homes. And if you & your neighbors want to challenge the loss of privacy? Well, how exactly would you do that effectively? Because, instead of going to the city council, looking at the contracts, and calling out your mayor for speeding your city to dystopia, it's massive and distributed. Will you even know which of your neighbors is now helping to feed the system? If we had half competent privacy regulators & laws in the US this kind of thing would be a big, hard fight for Ring. Instead? It's a Super Bowl commercial. Oh, and yeah Ring has already partnered with Flock Safety to incorporate tools letting the government directly request footage.
