Woke up this morning to find that Trump is desperate enough to start a war to distract from the Trump-Epstein files, and throw Chistianist Fascism a bone at the same time.
Also noticed that a lot of errors in posts come from spellcheck substituting words it thinks I should mean. So far, nothing that changes meaning so much as obscures it. Editing posts is now manual. At least then the mistakes are my own.
It’s almost as if republicans planned 9/11 so they could start monitoring American citizens and violate privacy laws. But no worry, musk is here to save them with xAI which is probably even less competent and capable than his self driving cars that run over innocent civilians because getting in the way is somehow their own fault. It’s like living in a movie where robots get so smart they no longer need humans so they start killing them while republicans cheer them on. Science fiction is now reality. A reality where machines now outrank humans in their quest to take over the world. What could possibly go wrong.
Ta, Evan. We heard a little news on the drive up, and apparently Anthropic's out, because they didn't kowtow. I'm disgusted. As I said about this yesterday, Petey-boy wants ED-209, and the ED stands for erectile dysfunction.
It's good that Amodei is pushing back against Hegseth in this matter. We do not need an AI bot that makes autonomous life-or-death decisions on the battlefield, or that conducts mass surveillance of a civilian population (especially when that civilian population is the United States). At least it shows that not all tech bros are greedy assholes, that some tech companies have some ethical and moral lines that they will not cross, and who are willing to tell Hegseth and Trump to go fuck themselves.
I’m sure Amodei had lengthy discussions with his company’s lawyers about how likely Shitfaced’s threats are to hold up in court.
Ultimately, I think Shitfaced is looking for an excuse to cancel Claude and replace it with Grok. Since MechaHitler is just a digitized version of Elon’s brain, he can be sure that it will do whatever horrendous things he wants,
"WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Friday he was ordering all federal agencies to phase out use of Anthropic technology after the company’s unusually public dispute with the Pentagon over artificial intelligence safety. Trump’s comments came just over an hour before the Pentagon’s deadline for Anthropic to allow unrestricted military use of its AI technology or face consequences — and nearly 24 hours after CEO Dario Amodei said his company “cannot in good conscience accede” to the Defense Department’s demands."
Bibi just maneuvered Trump into bankrolling Israel’s Iran objectives with US taxpayers’ money.

Now they've told him yes.
Unless the contract specifies that the DOD has co-ownership of the underlying intellectual property, Hegseth can go fuck himself (again).

Can we just tell the AI to do whatever needs to be done to make democracy in the US safe?
I’m picturing Hegseth being chased by a low flying drone like that coyote running from the Roadrunner.

To say nothing of what this would do to, say, a deployment in a Democratic city. I'm picturing drones opening fire on civilians.
This is what happens when you let crazy, malignantly narcissistic people sit in the Decision Chair and actually Make Decisions, y'all
"And it has happened: Hegseth and Trump declare Anthropic a supply chain risk.
Every company that has government contracts will be barred from using Claude code.
It is an attempt to outright destroy the company because they did not consent to mass surveillance of Americans and AI kill bots.
Wow."

"Of course, “Chinese Communist Party” counts too, because that’s a prostate-stimulating egg for all Republicans. "
Except please pronounce it like Cheetos Caesar, "Gynnah"! Kinda like saying vagina too quickly as to sound cool and/or eclectic.
Also, "...so long, farewell, *auf wiedersehen*, fuck off."

The real takeaway, America, is what companies are engaging in the mass survielance of Americans and autonomous killing?
Palantir, etc.
Jesus wept. Tell that drunken buffoon no
The company did
And now this has happened

Attention Warfighters!
Your air support will be provided by autonomous drones powered by software that accelerates vehicles into baby carriages.
I despise Anthropic (they stole a bunch of my books to teach their AI) but they're making the right call here.
this headline…LMAO
Of course:
