@djcockandballs Visuals and music are both cool but if you look closely it’s jaw dropping just how stone cold motionless that crowd is. Jesus Christ don’t they feel ridiculous being at a dance music show and all standing around like that?

@KyleKulinski Beeple strong contender for worst artist in the 21st century so far

This lets Marco off the hook, he's a sadistic warmongering little demon as well. He's not the adult in the room.

@adamjohnsonCHI @mehdirhasan Part of me thinks this is a kind of “guns don’t kill people people kill people” type argument and blaming AI is sort of correct. Like is there even any responsibility to offset anymore? They were already getting away with atrocities without AI.

I think it's important to establish the role "AI" had in the Minab school bombing but I think how it's discussed is important. One reason these systems are attractive to militaries is they double as moral laundromats, offsetting responsibility to AI is a feature not a bug.

As many replies are pointing out, it feels incredibly urgent to understand whether this helps explain the accidental targeting of the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school...

Why can’t we all agree that destroying an Iranian drone carrier aimed at Americans, Israelis and Muslims makes the region and world more safe and secure?
U.S. Central Command@CENTCOM
U.S. forces aren't holding back on the mission to sink the entire Iranian Navy. Today, an Iranian drone carrier, roughly the size of a WWII aircraft carrier, was struck and is now on fire.

@r0ck3t23 Wow they just wanted to help the honest warfighters bc they love the military and they’re patriots, but the military suddenly turned evil and demanded they do evil things? Almost like they were like that the whole time and you’d have to be naive or lying to say otherwise!

Dario Amodei just gave his first interview since the Pentagon blacklisted his company. The toll is visible on his face.
He was asked one question. What would you say to the President right now?
He didn’t hesitate.
Amodei: “We are patriotic Americans. Everything we have done has been for the sake of this country.”
Anthropic built their models to defend America. They were the first AI lab cleared for classified military systems. They wanted to help the warfighter.
But the Pentagon demanded unrestricted access to fully autonomous weapons and mass surveillance of American citizens.
Amodei drew the line.
The government responded with emergency Cold War powers. A supply chain designation normally reserved for foreign adversaries. A six-month federal phaseout ordered from Truth Social.
Amodei: “When we were threatened with supply chain designation and Defense Production Act, which are unprecedented intrusions into the private economy, we exercised our classic First Amendment rights to speak up and disagree with the government.”
The administration framed Anthropic’s refusal as anti-American.
Amodei’s response dismantled that framing in one sentence.
Amodei: “Disagreeing with the government is the most American thing in the world.”
Here is the deeper paradox nobody in Washington wants to say out loud.
We are in a geopolitical race against autocratic adversaries who use AI for mass surveillance of their own citizens and autonomous weapons with no human oversight.
The Pentagon demanded that Anthropic build those exact capabilities for America.
Amodei: “The red lines we have drawn, we drew because we believe that crossing those red lines is contrary to American values.”
You cannot defeat authoritarianism by adopting its methods.
You cannot defend the open society by forcing private companies to build its antithesis under threat of wartime emergency powers.
Anthropic held the line. Got blacklisted for it. And came out the other side saying the same thing they said going in.
That is what it actually looks like to mean it.

@lukeisamazing They clearly had a path toward profitability and definitely wouldn’t have to go to the biggest source of gov contract money to lower their losses, but then this came out of nowhere!

it’s me, the guy who thought OpenAI was a morally upright company before this. sure, it destroys the environment, art, culture, and humanity but all that was fine and good until today

@wesamo__ Too late idiot you already did the work to build the thing bc you’re too stupid to see where it was headed!

@sama @matdryhurst time for another smug post about how nobody’s take on AI is as nuanced as yours!

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.
