Clearly the whole drama with Pentagon making a big deal of showing that they're trying to force AI companies to build autonomous AI killing machines and spy on citizens is completely manufactured.

Anthropic was always going to comply, and the goal is to just create a marketing campaign them as heroically resisting. All the media has been running the story of a plucky Anthropic defying US military to defend ethical AI and protect humanity.

The problem is that - Already and forever more - the consumer and the AI have divergent definitions of “better”.

AI is not being served to us in a neutral space, it is largely developed and controlled by companies that also control important Algorithms, and that is no coincidence.

Use AI if you want to, but essentially You’re The Product and the cost is only the environment. Non-billionaires who think there is an actual value prop for them are basically concussed, they are so short sighted.
