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

This is the kind of stuff I think about whenever a Democrat tries to tell me that Biden or Obama were powerless.

They could have done this to the makers of assault rifles in order to spur greater regulation in the wake of mass shootings. After all, they're certainly contracted with various federal entities.

That is, if they gave a shit.

When the AI company only wants to be 99% Hitler (They're okay with their bot recommending bombing minorities overseas, but they don't want to be held liable when it pushes the button and the bomb comes down in America instead)

Still. I will happily take a company with some moral fiber over one with none when it comes to this AI race to the bottom.

Not saying Anthropic are the good guys here (there are none IMHO) but they are clearly trying to be the "less bad guys".

[–] XLE@piefed.social 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Reports of Anthropic's moral fiber have been greatly exaggerated:

Anthropic publicly praised President Trump’s AI Action Plan... We have been supportive of the President’s efforts to expand energy provision in the US in order to win the AI race.

lol these statuses always read like trembling balled up fists on a fat angry toddler

He is like a spoiled child, just like his shitstain cabinet. I wish there were some way we could identify those who voted for him in 2016, 2020, or 2024 and tattoo an orange T on their foreheads so they could never go anywhere again without ridicule and harassment.

Republicans used to be against governments that told businesses how they should be run. 🙄

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 23 points 2 days ago

This is literally impossible to parody. If I had been asked to write an unrealistically over-the-top demented version of whatever I might imagine Trump would have written to convey this, I couldn't have got close.

The result is what we should aim for, but the reason for it is… debatable.

This just in: toddler throws tantrum because someone took his toys away

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 15 points 2 days ago

Too inaccurate, Toddler throws a tantrum because someone wouldn't give him a toy. Anthropic started the contract with the rules in place to begin with.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 days ago

Well that settles it then, guess we'll just have grok manage the nuclear arsenal

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

I love how he thinks capitalising a word gives it some kind of magical authority.

or I will use the Full Power (TM) of the Presidency (LLC)

Heartbreaking: worst person you know makes a good decision

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No not really, they are cutting the lesser evil so they can go with the greater evil. In short, Claude won't fire their weapons for them, so mechahitler gets the trigger.
