It’s tempting to think that with more accurate data about schools, hospitals and other civilian infrastructure, this wouldn’t have happened. But I doubt it, because if Secretary Pete Hegseth is even nearly as bloodthirsty and careless about human life as the President of the UN General Assembly, Annalena Baerbock, he would probably have approved the double-tap bombing of the girls school knowing full-well what it was.

What I mean is — the tech isn’t the problem. It’s our leaders. And not just the crass, bombastic ones like Trump and Hegseth. Indeed, probably worst of all are the fake feminist foreign policy clowns from Europe.

OpenAI’s Sam Altman says today that they’re gonna take Anthropic’s place on DoW classified networks (https://xcancel.com/sama/status/2027578652477821175#m).

Still, Anthropic being designated a “supply chain risk” is good news, as it means Claude cannot officially be used anymore by the Pentagon and by all of its suppliers. That’s massive.

Good discussion of this on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47188473

I haven’t read anyone say that it was about retaining the IP. Anthropic says, and others agree, that it would be totally irresponsible to use current frontier AI systems for lethal autonomous weapon systems – even if you think that LAWS are okay. Current AI systems are far too error-prone.

Yeh, I see your point. But I think every app’s design also nudges us one way or another

By that definition, Wikipedia and Google Search are social media too

Totally agree! I’ve also caught myself rehearsing snarky retorts while scrolling microblogging apps. I feel like a heckler there.

Join a choir. Same connection.
