This debacle with Anthropic has demonstrated why e/acc ideas need to be kept alive and reflected in the populace.
America’s leading AI company taking a decel stance is a bad look.
If Anthropic doesn’t let America use its models to its max capacity, China will run model distillation and use the same models against the USA.
e/acc stands for max technological acceleration at all costs. Ideally, America First, and not the dictatorial CCP.
The world is a complex place, and sometimes the choice that looks immoral is the right one.
Accelerate
This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon.
Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic.
Instead, @AnthropicAI and its CEO @DarioAmodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives.
The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield.
Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable.
As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives.
Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered.
In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service.
America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.
Look around you.
Technology is evolving FAST -Faster than you realize!
And what has it brought to you?
PROSPERITY.
And it's just going to progress faster.
Accelerate.
One curve to rule them all, One curve to find them,
One curve to bring them all, and in the growth bind them —
The exponential rises, it shall never die.
Internet Capital Markets and Creator Capital Markets are born within the accelerationist framework.
Technological advancements with capitalistic ideologies are e/acc coded.
We believe technology is liberatory. Liberatory of human potential. Liberatory of the human soul, the human spirit. Expanding what it can mean to be free, to be fulfilled, to be alive.
We believe technology opens the space of what it can mean to be human. - @pmarca
