After Anthropic refused flat out to agree to apply Claude AI to autonomous weapons and mass surveillance of American citizens, OpenAI jumps right into bed with the United States Department of War.

    If you aren’t familiar with his actual stance, you have been told a warped version of Warfighter Dario’s vision. I can’t blame you because the media is complicit, and everybody loves a story of good guy versus bad guy, but this is the reality:

    Partially autonomous weapons, like those used today in Ukraine, are vital to the defense of democracy. Fully autonomous weapons (those that take humans out of the loop entirely and automate selecting and engaging targets) may prove critical for our national defense. We have offered to work directly with the Department of War on R&D to improve the reliability of these systems.

    Our strong preference is to continue to serve the Department and our warfighters.

    Dario Amodei, Warmonger

    Anthropic understands that the Department of War, not private companies, makes military decisions. We have never raised objections to particular military operations nor attempted to limit use of our technology in an ad hoc manner.

      I can’t blame you because the media is complicit, and everybody loves a story of good guy versus bad guy, but this is the reality:

      No, I acknowledge that the world is a helluva lot more nuanced than “AI bad, military bad, absolute stances good”. Absolutism is what we accuse our smooth-brained right-winged asshats of doing, so we certainly shouldn’t be caught doing the same thing.

      Partially autonomous weapons, like those used today in Ukraine, are vital to the defense of democracy.

      You mean drones? You’re talking about drones. What’s wrong with drones?

      We have never raised objections to particular military operations nor attempted to limit use of our technology in an ad hoc manner.

      They had a contract with the Pentagon. They literally deal with military operations on a regular basis.

      Hell, most of the pivotal technology developed in the last thousand years started as a military invention before civilian use. Including this internet thing you’re arguing on right now.
