Quote from: jdrch on Today at 18:23:07This is fascinating as, AFAIK, it's the 1st instance of a major private company standing up against this administration. Good on them.

The pentagon wants AI to help it kill people and Anthropic wants to market their product to earth conscious business hippies. This clash is a great marketing campaign for Anthropic. You could pay for this kinda publicity.

And really, can't the pentagon just use OpenAI, Google, Meta, or xAI to help it kill people? Any one of them would jump at the opportunity.

I read both the Pentagon and Anthropic statements. Basically, the Pentagon wants AI for all lawful use, while Anthropic wants specific guardrails against domestic surveillance and pure AI killchains.

They defend "democracy" with the heavy handedness of a totalitarian dictatorship.
