So I projected this forward in a very hacky way and... this is kind of nuts.

[Peter Steinberger 🦞 @steipete]

lol did nobody at Anthropic stop for a second and wonder why the numbers looked this absurd before posting the “victory”-tweet?

@0xgingergirl Nice catch

[Laura O'Connor @LauraJayOConnor]

@ClassyInSD @Miles_Brundage They do it because even after stiffing you you will still make an effort to protect their identity lol

Will never get quite understand the outraged comments complaining of a transgender actress in a beloved series about transhumanism.

@dheisman @TheZvi I think because humans have never encountered something more intelligent than us that some people just don't believe it's possible or are unable to internalise what that could mean for us.

[Laura O'Connor @LauraJayOConnor]

@tombibbys @ForHumanityPod They say, “we need to beat China. We’re the good guys and we need to beat China!” Meanwhile the democratically elected US president is Truthing about wiping out an entire civilisation and China is talking of a pause.

[Laura O'Connor @LauraJayOConnor]

@tszzl The difference is those critics ended up bending the knee. I don't see Dario doing that.

[Laura O'Connor @LauraJayOConnor]

People keep demonstrating time and time again how members of this administration have contradicted themselves egregiously but it doesn't change anything. Perhaps in the midterms? But now there is a clear path for Trump to put them off via emergency war powers. 🤪

[Kareem Rifai 🌐 @KareemRifai]

David Sacks, who warned of an impending World War III every single month of the Biden presidency leading up to the 2024 election, has not commented on the ongoing war with Iran.

[Laura O'Connor @LauraJayOConnor]

The outrage over this is a bit absurd because a world in which this resolves with a nuke going off is a world where whatever money you won has no meaning, and you probably won't be around to spend it.

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

Polymarket has created a market that would monetize a nuclear attack amid increasing concerns that bets are happening among government insiders who can make military decisions.

[kvick @kvickart]

@markgadala all the major people who have most closely worked with sam have said he is not trustworthy. I don't know what else you need to know

[Laura O'Connor @LauraJayOConnor]

It's saddening to me how many people that follow this field are surprised that Altman was capable of a move like this.

[Sam Altman @sama]

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.

In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome.

AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.

We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only.

We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements.

We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

This US Gov is an existential risk to humanity.

[Under Secretary of War Emil Michael @USWREMichael]

It’s a shame that @DarioAmodei is a liar and has a God-complex. He wants nothing more than to try to personally control the US Military and is ok putting our nation’s safety at risk.

The @DeptofWar will ALWAYS adhere to the law but not bend to whims of any one for-profit tech company.

[Laura O'Connor @LauraJayOConnor]

@danallison Yes but also the other labs don’t seem to have any issues with the Pentagon’s needs.

[Laura O'Connor @LauraJayOConnor]

Even when Hegseth behaves like a comic book villain, furious Anthropic won’t let them use Claude for mass surveillance and autonomous killing, Americans will still point to China as their threat - the bad guy they must beat.

[The Associated Press @AP]

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gives Anthropic a Friday deadline to open its AI technology for unrestricted military use or risk losing contract, source tells AP. https://t.co/WthiNqHv8y

@tszzl What's it like to chat with the model you love? Interlinked.

[Laura O'Connor @LauraJayOConnor]

@AIExplainedYT @daniel_mac8 Idk what Jimmy Apples has done but out of all the AI "insider" grifters, they are generally accurate with their leaks.

JUST IN - Pentagon used Anthropic’s AI tool Claude in the military operation to capture Nicolas Maduro — WSJ

[Laura O'Connor @LauraJayOConnor]

Yes, of course, because the last time we invented the technology that could do all the work that humans could it lead to new jobs being created for humans then, too.

[a16z @a16z]

New tech creates new jobs
