Tf did these twatwaffles think was going to happen. It was always going to be bright to this line in military use. With it without the corps

Just watch. Trump's gang will find a way to scare him and he will cave.

Don't worry, guys, the Pentagon is saved! Sam Altman from OpenAI has said they'll step in and do whatever Heghset wants!

Downloaded it today to show support.

Then fucking walk away from the hole thing. there is 0 chance they won't misuse it what ever the contract says. And even then, i'm not convinced the pentagon/gov won't somehow force them to comply. Just basing this on the current level of shit fuckery going on.
I hope they have a big red delete everything button :-D They don't...

It’s a good business move. If everyone is competing in the military tech space, you have better odds differentiating yourself by being the non-nazi option. It’s the free market republicans hate biting them in the ass.

Conscience? From a capitalist pig? I don't buy it.

I dont beliece one word from anyone who is CEO of anything. They all lie to look like "good guys" but in end, its always about business and its just lies. Besides they are doing it anyways. Dont ever belive these guys, I have never ever ever seen CEO who has been truthful or done what they say they would do, or not do. ALWAYS they do it in secret or have been doing it all along and the secret comes out and nobody cares. so this is BS move from this company. Dont trust anyone who has company.

wait 24 hours, and he will buckle
BonkyMcSignFace
Nice PR piece. I suspect they’re gonna still let the military use Claude unhinged on the down low. This “news” and the “news” that trump has directed the government to stop using Anthropic is just a cover to protect shareholder value
UglyDanTheUglyMan
That just means they didn't offer him enough.
ataradov
This is just him saying "let's not do this so out in the open". He just wants it to be Palantir style.

I'm going to assume he's never met epstien.

This guy was interested in neural network traffic, not child traffic.

"They then proceeded to use AI to surveil americans and build autonomous weapons.."
blahblahbushes
An AI CEO with a conscience? I call bullshit.
khora
They quit OpenAI to start an AI company with ethics. The more successful they are, the more likely they are to soften their stance on ethics, of course.
BojackHorsemeat
It definitely is.
foreverinchains
Well, Sean, if you have no interest in mass surveillance or fully autonomous weapons, put that into the contract in clear, unambiguous terms.
If you refuse to put that wording into the contract, you are admitting that you are, in fact, interested in mass surveillance and/or fully autonomous weapons.
IgnoreMeImProbablyDrunk
They did. Pentagon wants no restrictions
CookieMonstersCrumbs
It's just gotta look good for the shareholders that haven't been bought yet.
ThePostPenultStraw
Yeah, here’s the thing. They will put that in the contract and then do it anyway. What’s Anthropic gonna do, sue the pentagon? At this point I expect the Trump administration to come up with some bogus reason to nationalize Anthropic or arrest the CEO and install a friendlier CEO.
khora
So here’s the thing. Their model currently refuse to do those things, and if the contract says Pentagon doesn’t want to do them, they have no contractual issues with not modifying the model in this aspect.

"But like all AI companies we have no conscience, We will do it anyway for a bigger bag of cash."
Ninjainslippers
If a negotiation starts with "We're going to forcibly remove any mechanisms of preventing state surveillance and automated murder machines when you give us your error-prone pandora's box" and your response is "negotiations are still ongoing", it's just how many zeroes and how plausible the deniability.
Einbrecher
The conscience angle is their marketing schtick, for now at least. Losing out on these government contracts is, in the grand scheme of things, small potatoes compared to the enterprise contracts they're chasing, and standing up to Trump like this when everyone else has caved is the best marketing they could possibly have right now. Still, it'll come as no surprise when they eventually pull the "Don't be evil" line from their mission statement like Google did.
hotaru251
nah they have enough to lose if they do. trump will just use muskrats instead.

And this exactly, didn’t happen. lol
