Sam Altman’s x post:
Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.
In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome.
AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.
We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only.
We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements.
We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.
> OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told staffers late Thursday that he would like the company “try to help de-escalate things” between rival Anthropic and the Department of Defense.
> “We have long believed that AI should not be used for mass surveillance or autonomous lethal weapons, and that humans should remain in the loop for high-stakes automated decisions,” Altman wrote in a memo that was viewed by CNBC. “These are our main red lines.”
> President Donald Trump said Friday that he was ordering every U.S. government agency to “immediately cease” using technology from the artificial intelligence company Anthropic.
Quote from [Hegseth’s x post](https://x.com/SecWar/status/2027507717469049070):
> Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic
> We believe this designation would both be legally unsound and set a dangerous precedent for any American company that negotiates with the government.
> No amount of intimidation or punishment from the Department of War will change our position on mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous weapons. We will challenge any supply chain risk designation in court.
Scam Altman decides to scum it up and trade his values (manual murder requirement & AI mass surveillance) to win the bid!

It saddens me to know that the people trying to speedrun our annihilation are the same people who have expensive underground bunkers.

Not surprising, the Chinese LLM are all state powered and adjacent.
Ofc the Americans ones will be, or they have no reason to be let exist.
Any business should have one goal of getting the USA to be their customer.

Cancel your ChatGPT subscription if you have even the slightest care about mass surveillance of Americans and murder machines

It was inevitable. Idiotic to integrate AI with anything to do with the military, but inevitable all the same.

This is actually terrifying. Those restrictions are very reasonable. Otherwise you end up in a panopticon – a totalitarian dictatorship where sophisticated software monitors every action you do, online or offline. It’s 1984 on steroids. It’s a path that is very difficult to avoid when these tools are available, and can turn a civilization into a perpetual nightmare, a stable despotism with no escape and the slightest hint of resistance snuffed out.
Having AI-driven terminators isn’t great either since it both risks the AI turning on its creators, and also makes waging war a purely capital commitment – the barriers to mass murder and destruction are logistical, with few social barriers. Just click a mouse and a killer robot swarm wipes a region bare.
It may in some ways be the single most evil thing that humanity has ever created.
So calls, of course.

The system goes on-line. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

saw this coming a mile away.
Scam Altman is a lizard person wearing a flesh suit btw
Be first, be smarter, or cheat
Did he get on his knees behind the White House dumpster too?
“The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place”
Is this a warning?
The same ones he said he’d also limit like Anthropic?
Scam Altman doing whatever is needed to get that funding for his sinking ship. He is a ho!
So what was the govt asking of Anthropic that wasn’t this?
