Truly no honor among thieves. Looks like Amazon was a major player in getting Anthropic's latest AI model banned. Reports indicate that CEO Andy Jassy met with senior Trump administration officials this week, joining other tech leaders to voice serious concerns over security risks in Anthropic's most advanced models. https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/amazon-ceos-talks-with-u-s-officials-triggered-crackdown-on-anthropic-models-dcc90578

@nixCraft why not put that UFC cage on the White house lawn to better use. Give America what it really wants… “America’s Tech CEO Deathmatch”, it’s like MTV’s celebrity Deathmatch but with real Tech CEO’s instead of claymation celebrities.

@nixCraft the price of ddr5 in my most recent pc build now costs as much as the entire computer did half a decade ago. For gods sake, people are selling ddr3 again?

@nixCraft I'm so fed up of this shit. Let's keep honing our craft; that's the only one thing nobody can take from us.

@qesuto @nixCraft
Honestly, if your tired of the circus, just mute all the ai company keywords and hone your skills for a couple years. You'll do great!

@nixCraft When you grift too close to the sun and people actually start believing your marketing BS. Big "if you link enough PS2 together you can make a sophisticated missile guidance system" energy.

@nixCraft I'm not sure Anthropic is even in competition with Amazon.

It seems to me that they messed up the guardrails in Fable so badly that they've created this whole situation as an excuse to withdraw it "because it's so dangerous" rather than admitting they messed up.

It will be back, but with guardrails that don't kick users out mid-session.

@nixCraft Aye, a Pi 5 with 16 GiB of RAM is like £300. Pop, dammit.

@nixCraft I thought Amazon was funding Anthropic? I can't can't keep track of who's paying who anymore.

@maccruiskeen yeah it feels like madness

@maccruiskeen @nixCraft
It even goes in circles, which makes it even harder to keep track of.

@nixCraft nothing but slum lords.

@nixCraft Probably a PR ploy: look our AI is so intelligent the government had to stop it.

@HenryT @nixCraft That's what I was thinking.

Who knows though. They probably laugh at us trying to figure out why the fuck they're doing all this. That's part of the abuser cycle as well.
