Endnote 7 of that recent Konior piece in e-flux really makes me wonder if the conspiratorial intellectual is an oxymoron, or at least, the last stop on the way to intellect being a mere vestigial piece of our collective experience

say what you will about callow stupid and overreaching incarnations of trauma discourse but apparently actual adults still believe that you can just do genocides, decimate populations, murder at scale abroad etc without that having any material or libidinal consequences whatsover

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.
