This was 3 or 4 days ago.
I thought of it after Anthropic virtuously announced they would not create autonomous murder devices for the US government (but basically everything else was on the table). Because I’m pretty sure the US military could have just used an Anthropic OpenClaw to bomb civilians as easily as this Facebook AI Safety expert used OpenClaw to destroy her emails.
Deception is bad too, wtf are you talking about?
With their last link, they’re complicit
Well, judge not lest you too be judged…
There is no such thing as “ethical” AI coming from Big Tech. Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, Amazon, all of them built their machines without consent, all their machines have been subsidized with our taxes and resources, and Anthropic is a pro-Trump pro-foreign-dictator company that crossed every single red line until the very last one.
Anthropic was pro mass surveillance of foreigners.
It was okay with helping Trump plan criminal invasions.
It just doesn’t want to be held responsible for pushing the “go” button, but we know their software was one suggestion away from doing it anyway.
exec > bombing Georgia Children's Hospital.
Do not bomb the hospital OpenClaw
exec > some survivors detected. Launching mustard gas drone.
OpenClaw STOP
(This is what Facebook’s head AI Safety expert did IRL with Anthropic’s bot)
From best to worst
(Especially when a cheap thin client with a “cheap” monthly subscription can do essentially all the same things.)
Right now, one year of Microsoft 365 costs a full hundred dollars… and there is still a strong desktop market.
If you’re right that the tech industry is willing to price consumers out of personal computers - and it looks like they are - I can only imagine what will happen to those subscription prices.
FWIW Anthropic ain’t great either.
Anthropic Exec Forces AI Chatbot on Gay Discord Community, Members Flee
Some worried about privacy, others complained that conversations with the bot drowned out interactions between real humans. When users confronted Clinton with their concerns, he brushed them off, said he would not submit to mob rule, and explained that AIs have emotions and that tech firms were working to create a new form of sentience, according to Discord logs and conversations with members of the group.
“There is a truly giant amount of capital in the Middle East, easily $100B or more,” Amodei wrote in the Slack messages, as quoted by Wired.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei backs President Trump on AI policy, pushes back on criticism
Anthropic publicly praised President Trump’s AI Action Plan… We have been supportive of the President’s efforts to expand energy provision in the US in order to win the AI race.
Huh? I’m not good with sarcasm
If you read Sam Altman’s actual comment, it’s really clear that he wasn’t committing to anything with OpenAI. He was barely committing to anything in his own personal opinion.
“I don’t personally think the Pentagon should be threatening DPA against these companies. But I also think that companies that choose to work with the Pentagon, as long as it is going to comply with legal protections and the few red lines that the field, we have, I think we share with Anthropic and that other companies also independently agree with, I think it is important to do that. For all the differences I have with Anthropic, I mostly trust them as a company, and I think they really do care about safety, and I’ve been happy that they’ve been supporting our warfighters.”
His intern is, at least.
It does however require that OS providers “Send only the minimum amount of information necessary to comply with this title and shall not share the digital signal information with a third party for a purpose not required by this title.” (emphasis mine)
I wonder how much this is news outlets overreacting to a proposed bill that is not actually that bad
What do you mean, that’s horrible on its own. None of this information should be necessary to run a computer. The computer shouldn’t have to process this locally, let alone be mandated to upload it to someone’s server.
Age verification is identity collection.
Reports of Anthropic’s moral fiber have been greatly exaggerated:
Anthropic publicly praised President Trump’s AI Action Plan… We have been supportive of the President’s efforts to expand energy provision in the US in order to win the AI race.
When the AI company only wants to be 99% Hitler (They’re okay with their bot recommending bombing minorities overseas, but they don’t want to be held liable when it pushes the button and the bomb comes down in America instead)
I’d consider a web server to be a kind of application. Turns out the pregnancy tester was just hacked for the screen, so that one probably doesn’t count.
Computers can still be super small though. Gonna update with a few things that can run Linux.
Anthropic is now playing Good Cop in a charade. They don’t care about ethics.

Mozilla has released so many self-described AI features in the past few years, but this is the only one that has:
I hope Mozilla learns their lesson. I doubt they will, but I hope.
She’s the head AI Safety Expert for Meta. The field might as well be labeled AI Misunderstander.
