"You're absolutely right! That was a children's hospital, not a military base. Let's try that again!"

I would assume that Anthropic's stance is mostly performative. But while people are in boycotting mood they could solve the surveillance problem by quitting ALL big tech products. Here’s our site that lists all the ethical, non-spyware alternatives:

Yeah instead of arguing over whether Anthropic is actually good, let’s unite around “fuck OpenAI.”

Dude the only guardrails are

1. No fully automated killings

2. No mass surveillance

You could literally do anything else, you could automate killing people with a person approving.

Trump booted anthropic because they couldn't lift these two guardrails. Fuck me

From OpenAI's statement:

We have three main red lines that guide our work with the DoW, which are generally shared by several other frontier labs:

• No use of OpenAI technology for mass domestic surveillance.

• No use of OpenAI technology to direct autonomous weapons systems.

• No use of OpenAI technology for high-stakes automated decisions (e.g. systems such as “social credit”).

It specifically states their AI can't/won't be used for surveillance and autonomous weapons. Of course I'm not saying I trust them, but isn't this the same thing Anthropic says they're against? What's the difference here or what did I miss?

They went from standing with Anthropic to throwing them under the bus real fast

I’m wondering if this is a play for a future bailout. OpenAI knows they are fucked; and instead of just going away like most companies do when they fail, they are embedding themselves in the government to secure a bailout under the guise of a critical defence vendor.

Furthermore, I’m not convinced the researchers and critical personnel will work for a company that does this. I think we’re about to see the biggest jumping of a ship so far in the industry.

Just the little push I needed to close my ChatGPT account

mainstream

I'll believe that when my sisters start saying this. Till then, it's just us privacy fans screaming in a dark cave, enjoying the echo.

Since this article, Anthropic's Claude AI app has claimed the #1 top spot over ChatGPT on both Android and iOS.

Windows Central shouldn't be parroting the U.S. government in mislabeling the Department of Defense.

Now imagine my shock when I had done the swap from ChatGPT to Claude the day before the news about Anthropic's (now backpedalled) deal. Anyway, I deleted ChatGPT and Gemini accounts and degoogled my life while I was at it.

Amazon, gemini, perplexity are also in the us goverment baby bottle nipples.

The "Cancel ChatGPT movement" doesn't appear to be mentioned in the article, but other outlets say hashtags like #CancelChatGPT are trending on X.

Anthropic still is scum for being completely fine helping America oppress the rest of the world.

Use for "all lawful means" is quite the grey area considering no one was arrested or fired, or any law updated, for what Snowden leaked. If the NSA does it, no one will arrest the NSA.

I cannot believe this is what it took for a boycott to go more mainstream. Tell me more about how so many people have no respect for the environment or the artists who's work they gleefully consume.

Canada recently has had its 2nd worst school shooting ever. The killer had many interactions with ChatGPT that warranted banning her account. A whistleblower has claimed that they wanted to inform Canada's police force of these comments but were denied by ChatGPT's management.

They had a chance to stop the death of 8 people, most of which were young children, but failed to do anything.

FUCK CHATGPT AND THOSE BASTARDS THAT RUN IT

The Department of War isn't a real thing. Its called The Department of Defense. That's not my opinion either, its officially/legally called The Department of Defense.

I can't believe people were paying for it in the first place.

You should also stop using Google products for similar reasons.

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.

I think people are a little bit missing the important bit. This government wants to send out autonomous weapons along with mass surveillance. They'll just murder anyone they want, if the AI gets it right in the first place.

Here we are in Running Man and no one sees it coming. This is why Stephen King is so against this administration. He predicted it.

The lesser of two evils is still...evil. Anthropic's hands aren't clean either...they're just minimally less caked in blood.

BUT

One can hope that this is the 'turn towards the light side'. If 'don't be evil' can finally be made profitable, well, self interest might actually be a lever for good. Ha.

I wish there was a clearly, unambiguously good guy in the cloud AI space. I don't know how to make that work with economies of scale being what they are. Yes, that includes Lumo - though one has faint hope on that end to.

nice headline, but wtf is windows central?
