How are Anthropic left wing? I thought they were regarded as being not much better than ChatGPT?
They're not. Standard lying and propaganda that they do. You can't trust in anything they say, in any reasoning they claim.
They said something once and now Trumpet is upset.
I wonder what kicked the tantrum off.
A spoiled brat writing a angry letter to santa saying his parents don't let him do stupid things.
Only it's the elected US President.
This reads like a Star Wars opening crawl: https://starwarsintrogenerator.com/scroller?u=26zznrtq
This is amazing. Thank you!
"pedophile Donald J Trump yells at the cloud"
Best advertisement for a product ever. I will go and buy 5 subscriptions now
Quick reminder that anthropic CEO praised Trump for his AI plans. Anthropic also created an organization to help elect politicians that favor them and their business.
A broken clock and all that.
I beg you to not support AI bazillion-dollars companies in any way.
Honestly came to say the same. There are other AI companies willing to suck it for Trump, still they need this one. The fact they refused the demands from the department of war is the cherry on top.
Yeah I just hope they move their operations to some more democratic country since their location in the US apparently doesn’t help them anyways
What a fucking snowflake. Cry harder, bitch.
The result is what we should aim for, but the reason for it is… debatable.
Dude, this just gave Anthropic so much credibility. They can literally own the entire AI market now.
Before this, I hated Anthropic, and now I just feel neutral.
You should still hate it.
IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology
There will be a Six Month phase out period
What a fucking moron.
He used Claude to write this. Also, it's a false flag, Anthropic will still snitch on you.
Anthropic will release 17 updates in that time. They don't care.
lol these statuses always read like trembling balled up fists on a fat angry toddler
The absurdity to claim that Anthropic is strong-arming the DoD and forcing them to do anything when just the other day it was reported that the DoD was threatening this exact action if Anthropic didn't comply with their demands is laughable.
It feels like a pretty low bar to clear to tell this orange fuck to piss off, but at least one of the AI companies has a spine.
I'm not too familiar with the specifics, but didn't they put their foot down about just two safeguards? Sure, it's having a spine, but I have to wonder if the line they draw isn't a bit too far either way.
Anthropic is self righteous and self serving.
Like, I like local LLMs more than most, and Anthropic models are great at the moment, but don’t mistake Anthropic for having a spine.
I mean... this is losing them a 200 million dollar contract. And to one of their competitors who will gladly acquiesce, so it's hard to argue that this benefits them.
Good marketing to a bunch of left-wing people who hate AI, I guess, but that feels like Elon joining the Trump administration in hopes of selling Teslas to rednecks, it might work on a few, but I just can't imagine this is 4D chess that will make them a fortune when they're abandoning that much money immediately.
Their statement also came after the DOW threatened to put them on the list of companies that are totally banned from doing any business in America, usually reserved for Chinese companies that are deemed a national security threat, which would make it illegal for any company doing business in America to do any business with them, as they'd be added to the same list, which would have essentially killed Anthropic as a business entirely.
You don't have to love Anthropic because they did a good thing, they were fine with anything less than automatic killing and mass surveillance, after all, but I don't think it's correct to say this was sneaky and spineless somehow.
Eh, the context I was thinking of is that they are constantly playing “safety theatre” where it absolutely doesn’t matter. They’ve tried to kill open models and basically capture regulators by misleading or outright lying, for their benefit.
In other words, this is a case of “a broken clock is right sometimes,” and I think they knew Trump will back down.
Fair, I definitely haven't simped for them in the past just because they post some good articles on AI safety.
Although... I'll say of them, they seem more like what OpenAI should be, actually trying to implement AI responsibly, and freely sharing that information. It's good research, even if marketing is the motivation. Meanwhile OpenAI, the "charity" that's supposed to guide us to a responsible AI future, moved their most addictive and mentally dangerous model to the highest paid tier instead of actually killing it until very recently.
Although at the end of the day, Anthropic is a for-profit company, in a better world they wouldn't have released models publicly before this research was actually done and pressing dangers like AI psychosis were actually safeguarded against. Better late than never, sure, but the whole industry has done a lot of damage already, and the work of resolving the issues still isn't even close to done.

Should we cry?
You 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

So they signed a contract, decided they don't like the terms, now they're trying to extort Anthropic and gaslighting to claim Anthropic is strong arming them?
I fucking hate this administration man.
This is exactly what he did with every single trade deal he spent the last year working on. It's a pattern of behavior.
And basically why we're where we are with Iran.
Yeah, you can’t do business with the US government anymore. It’s just not feasible.

This is the kind of stuff I think about whenever a Democrat tries to tell me that Biden or Obama were powerless.
They could have done this to the makers of assault rifles in order to spur greater regulation in the wake of mass shootings. After all, they're certainly contracted with various federal entities.
That is, if they gave a shit.
Republicans used to be against governments that told businesses how they should be run. 🙄
I'm just so tired of seeing 1984 and Brazil and Idiocracy and every other political warning and satire played out in the real world every goddamn day of my life

God he sounds like he's been watching pickle artist videos. Is he seriously nagging them? "I never liked you anyway America can do better than you!"
He is like a spoiled child, just like his shitstain cabinet. I wish there were some way we could identify those who voted for him in 2016, 2020, or 2024 and tattoo an orange T on their foreheads so they could never go anywhere again without ridicule and harassment.
Make them exclusively use the Trump phone, I'm sure that will be enough punishment.
