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

What AI to use for murder automation probably shouldn't be at the whim of a guy that can probably barely work a TV remote.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 day ago

oh he hasn't tweeted about it. but she refuses to let him hold her hand

[–] Kissaki@feddit.org 49 points 2 days ago

They're not. Standard lying and propaganda that they do. You can't trust in anything they say, in any reasoning they claim.

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 23 points 2 days ago (4 children)

They said something once and now Trumpet is upset.

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.

[–] RamRabbit@lemmy.world 121 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Ahhh, the good ol' cut off your nose to spite your face. Instead of finding another product to fit their niche use case, they throw all the toys out of the bath tub and have a cry.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 124 points 2 days ago (9 children)

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.

Serve Skynet or die... you traitorous scum, is exactly how Skynet gets started and ends.

[–] freeman@feddit.org 254 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (15 children)

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

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 42 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

It’s crazy how not only ethics but now safety is “radically left”

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.

Dude, this just gave Anthropic so much credibility. They can literally own the entire AI market now.

[–] pkjqpg1h@lemmy.zip 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Before this, I hated Anthropic, and now I just feel neutral.

Anthropic yesterday:

Should the Department choose to offboard Anthropic, we will work to enable a smooth transition to another provider, avoiding any disruption to ongoing military planning, operations, or other critical missions. Our models will be available on the expansive terms we have proposed for as long as required. -Dario's Post
