After Anthropic refused flat out to agree to apply Claude AI to autonomous weapons and mass surveillance of American citizens, OpenAI jumps right into bed with the United States Department of War.

I think people are a little bit missing the important bit. This government wants to send out autonomous weapons along with mass surveillance. They'll just murder anyone they want, if the AI gets it right in the first place.

Here we are in Running Man and no one sees it coming. This is why Stephen King is so against this administration. He predicted it.

Also, mass surveillance. Not surveillance itself. And fully autonomous weapons.

Don't get distracted by the birdy folks, Anthropic is not your friend, or some great protector of the American people. They were already deeply embedded in the US Government as their product was the only one certified for use with classified documents.

They weren't standing up for us, they were splitting hairs on exactly how far they'd openly go.

I've also seen statements that Anthropic's stance against fully autonomous weapons was simply due to results not yet being as consistent as they were comfortable putting their name on, not due to any opposition towards use in/with weaponry.

OpenAI also claims to have the same limitations. So someone's lying.

I can't believe people were paying for it in the first place.

'going viral' is such a 'breaking news' clickbait. windows users need to get a clue, that part is true. i kicked my brother out of my house for kept tryting to show me how easy ai made art. is os political now? you can guess his other issues.

nice headline, but wtf is windows central?

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A Microsoft-oriented news outlet.

Think similar to MacRumors/9to5Mac/AppleInsider for Apple.

There are so many levels to hell I haven't even heard of.

I last used chatGPT in 2024. Never found it satisfying.

It’s because this administration wants to use AI/ML to create a list of domestic strike targets based on people who have said things dumpy doesn’t like.
