Post content:

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

Trick question. The answer is none of them

Not sure if you're anti-AI or something, but I intend to use chatbots. To me, it is now like this: local > claude > everything else

If they weren't guzzling the worlds water supply, and using the electricity of a small nation, and didn't steal small creators works, and weren't hijacking the worlds supply of RAM, and wasn't causing a bubble that will wreak havoc on the global economy, and it wasn't causing people to go into psychosis by encouraging delusional thoughts, than i probably wouldn't be against it.

Other than those issues it seems fine, but until those are addressed, I'm pretty anti-ai

[–] frankring@lemmy.ca -1 points 2 days ago

Those are very fair concerns. That's also why I'm prioritizing local open source AI over big centralized datacenters.

  • It doesn't need water.
  • It is private and doesn't collect data.
  • I pay my own electricity bills.
  • Smaller models tend to me more efficient for simple tasks.
  • I use RAM and hardware that I already owned before the AI bubble.
  • I'm smart enough to understand that AI isn't perfect and can be delusional.

While AI is still AI, it does make me feel better.
