THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military.

The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution. Their selfishness is putting AMERICAN LIVES at risk, our Troops in danger, and our National Security in JEOPARDY.

Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology. We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again! There will be a Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic’s products, at various levels. Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow.

WE will decide the fate of our Country — NOT some out-of-control, Radical Left AI company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

[–] Kissaki@feddit.org 43 points 1 day ago

They're not. Standard lying and propaganda that they do. You can't trust in anything they say, in any reasoning they claim.

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 22 points 1 day ago (4 children)

They said something once and now Trumpet is upset.

IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology

What a fucking moron.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He used Claude to write this. Also, it's a false flag, Anthropic will still snitch on you.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 hours ago

Don't think it's a false flag, he's personally pissed at them and they're losing their juicy contract to ClosedAI.

Doesn't change the fact that they're an American corporation and will absolutely snitch on you though.

[–] PolarKraken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 hours ago

I don't think that's what ya mean with "false flag", that's a little specific (could also be me missing your point of course).

But hard agree. Even despite this, it looks good, sure - but let time earn trust, it will find it if there's any to be found.

Until then - nonetheless, I say reward the moves that look like "we don't need you", to fascists. It ain't much but it's something.

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.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 328 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

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.

[–] RamRabbit@lemmy.world 117 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Anthropic took a stance against their AI in weapons and battlefield management systems. The government wants that ability and therefore chose to ban Anthropic as a supplier for government systems.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 119 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Yes but they already signed a contract WITH the safety limits in place.

I get that obviously they would want them removed, bit that is not what they signed.

"pedophile Donald J Trump yells at the cloud"

[–] freeman@feddit.org 247 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (12 children)

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

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

It’s crazy how not only ethics but now safety is “radically left”

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.

Dude, this just gave Anthropic so much credibility. They can literally own the entire AI market now.

[–] pkjqpg1h@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Before this, I hated Anthropic, and now I just feel neutral.

Feel like elaborating any? Looks like pretty over-the-top satire at a glance, but I'd always rather hear from people than read docs, "search things up" (for fuck's sake lol), etc.

[–] pkjqpg1h@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Dario revealed he doesn’t allow using his AI for surveillance and weapons-not because it’s unethical, but because AI isn’t good enough. He said he would gladly help with the surveillance of others and assist in automated killing with better accuracy.

[–] PolarKraken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 hours ago

Oh gotcha. My bad that was clear to me going in, def a whoosh

[–] jwiggler@sh.itjust.works 141 points 1 day ago (8 children)

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

Fits the country like a glove he does.

Truly he is their president and they love taking his shit.

What a fucking snowflake. Cry harder, bitch.

Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow.

Anthropic yesterday:

Should the Department choose to offboard Anthropic, we will work to enable a smooth transition to another provider, avoiding any disruption to ongoing military planning, operations, or other critical missions. Our models will be available on the expansive terms we have proposed for as long as required. -Dario's Post
