@Katiewhateven@ComicDaveSmith Im a 32 year old veteran that did 2 tours in Iraq and 1 in Afghanistan. I served in the Navy. I was NSW group 4 with SBT-22 out of Little Creek Va and I’m 100% against this war. And so are 99% of my brothers. Both that are out and still serving. Zing.
@mtracey What is there to debate? It sounds like you are trying to defend pedophilia and sex trafficking. @ComicDaveSmith position is pretty clear. Rape, pedophilia and sex trafficking is bad. We know where you stand in this so why waste time debating?
They’re calling it “democratizing access to private markets.”
Translation: a $12 TRILLION bailout for #PrivateEquity’s bad, overleveraged bets.
An Executive Order just opened your 401(k) to them - with liability shields.
That’s not opportunity.
It’s socializing #billionaire losses onto the working class!
FULL EPISODE IN BIO!
Seth Rogen: "As a Jewish person I was fed a huge amount of lies about Israel my entire life. They never tell you there were people there. They make it seem like it was just sitting there empty like oh the door's open! I would never live in Israel. It doesn't make any sense to me"
@theSOURCE406 Tell me you’ve never been to the Middle East without telling me. Clear to see propaganda still works wonders. These regions have suffered at our hands because of constant interference. The ignorance of some is completely baffling to me. Take a lap.
The Pentagon just blacklisted one of America’s most valuable AI companies.
For refusing to build surveillance tools aimed at American citizens.
Hours later, its biggest rival OpenAI quietly signed the deal of the decade.
Here’s what just happened and why it changes everything.
This week, the US Department of War gave Anthropic an ultimatum.
Drop your safety restrictions and let us use your AI for anything we want.
The deadline was 5:01 PM today and Anthropic said no.
Their CEO, Dario Amodei, drew two red lines.
No mass surveillance of Americans.
No fully autonomous weapons without a human pulling the trigger.
The Pentagon called this “woke AI.”
Anthropic called it a conscience.
The Pentagon’s response was swift and brutal.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth branded Anthropic a “supply chain risk”, a designation normally reserved for Chinese and Russian companies.
President Trump ordered every federal agency to stop using Anthropic immediately.
But here’s where the story turns.
That same night, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, Anthropic’s biggest competitor posted a message.
“Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.”
The twist? OpenAI’s deal includes the exact same red lines Anthropic was just destroyed for demanding.
No mass surveillance and no autonomous weapons.
Human control over the use of force.
The Pentagon punished one company for demanding protections it then gave to another company the same day.
Altman even defended Anthropic on live television hours earlier.
“For all the differences I have with Anthropic, I mostly trust them as a company and I think they really do care about safety.”
Then he signed the deal Anthropic couldn’t get.
Anthropic was the first and only, AI model deployed on the Pentagon’s classified networks.
Replacing it will take months.
OpenAI just positioned itself to fill the most powerful AI vacancy in the U.S. military.
The stakes are staggering.
Anthropic just raised $30 billion and it was preparing for an IPO.
Now over 300,000 enterprise clients may be forced to cut ties.
Not because the technology failed.
Because the company refused to remove a guardrail that said “don’t spy on Americans.”
But here’s the real question no one’s asking:
If the Pentagon never intended to use AI for mass surveillance as they claim, why was this the hill they chose to die on?
Why blacklist a $380 billion American company over a clause the government says doesn’t even matter?
Sam Altman called for de-escalation.
He asked the Pentagon to offer these same terms to every AI company.
Including Anthropic.
The world just watched a company get punished for saying “no” to surveillance and a competitor rewarded for saying “yes, but with the same conditions.”

@ryanpcooney@TimSheehyMT So tired of this shit. These people are so out of touch. I deployed 3 times because of lies. I lost brothers. It’s easy to sit back and cheerlead for war when they so far away from it. They have no idea of the horror of it. There is nothing glorious about it.
@ryanpcooney@AlexMarkle_ Also he literally lied through his teeth the entire time. Especially about the economy and the jobs report. I have have seen the data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Commerce Department, bond market, SEC filings, etc we are in massive economic trouble
@ryanpcooney@AlexMarkle_ The amount of times they stood up and sat back down was completely asinine. Giving standing ovations for every statement like a bunch of trained seals. This is extremely odd behavior. The president isn’t supposed to be worshipped like this. This isn’t a game. This is our future.
