BeepPresident Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems
freemanYou 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
It’s crazy how not only ethnics but now safety is “radically left”
Yeah, one of the two was a pure safety play, not even ethics.
If I sell the military an ATV for shuffling things around on base, I might engineer a speed limiter to prevent the ATV from going faster than what its safety features are rated at. But a demand that I remove the governor so that the vehicle can go all lawful speeds totally misses the point. Whether it is illegal or unethical to do so, it’s still bad engineering to use dangerous technology beyond the scope of what it (and its safety features) has been designed for.
