Haven't been on X for a while...have yall figured out that Trump sucks yet, or are you still drinking the Kool-Aid?
How about that missing pilot? ...not one word from the grifter in charge. No new wars and America first my ass. Good job, MAGA.
@Jason This is exactly what is wrong with capitalism. I believe in the foundational ideals of capitalism but when it undermines humanity at mass scale, that's too much. It's a shame so many people are so morally bankrupt that they choose money over consciousness.
Dario Amodei just gave his first interview since the Pentagon blacklisted his company. The toll is visible on his face.
He was asked one question. What would you say to the President right now?
He didn’t hesitate.
Amodei: “We are patriotic Americans. Everything we have done has been for the sake of this country.”
Anthropic built their models to defend America. They were the first AI lab cleared for classified military systems. They wanted to help the warfighter.
But the Pentagon demanded unrestricted access to fully autonomous weapons and mass surveillance of American citizens.
Amodei drew the line.
The government responded with emergency Cold War powers. A supply chain designation normally reserved for foreign adversaries. A six-month federal phaseout ordered from Truth Social.
Amodei: “When we were threatened with supply chain designation and Defense Production Act, which are unprecedented intrusions into the private economy, we exercised our classic First Amendment rights to speak up and disagree with the government.”
The administration framed Anthropic’s refusal as anti-American.
Amodei’s response dismantled that framing in one sentence.
Amodei: “Disagreeing with the government is the most American thing in the world.”
Here is the deeper paradox nobody in Washington wants to say out loud.
We are in a geopolitical race against autocratic adversaries who use AI for mass surveillance of their own citizens and autonomous weapons with no human oversight.
The Pentagon demanded that Anthropic build those exact capabilities for America.
Amodei: “The red lines we have drawn, we drew because we believe that crossing those red lines is contrary to American values.”
You cannot defeat authoritarianism by adopting its methods.
You cannot defend the open society by forcing private companies to build its antithesis under threat of wartime emergency powers.
Anthropic held the line. Got blacklisted for it. And came out the other side saying the same thing they said going in.
That is what it actually looks like to mean it.
@EricLDaugh The difference between democrats and republicans is that most democrats would agree with you...that is disgusting, even if we may not have been fans of Charlie. Republicans on the other hand would never concede that something their side did was morally wrong or offensive.
Buying and controlling media platforms.
Firing commentators.
Canceling shows.
These aren’t coincidences.
It’s coordinated. And it’s dangerous.
The @GOP does not believe in free speech.
They are censoring you in real time.
🚨NEW: Donald Trump has forced West Point Academy to cancel an award ceremony for actor Tom Hanks, who is well known for his philanthropic work supporting U.S. veterans.
RETWEET if you stand with Tom Hanks and our veterans against Donald Trump!
I am not a left wing politician. I am the father of Jaime who was murdered in the Parkland shooting. YOU ARE MISERABLE AND WRONG @JDVance. It is shocking to me how politicians like you mock and use the idea of "thoughts and prayers" to cover for your prior and future inaction and the reality that I visit my forever 14 daughter at the cemetery.
FUCK YOU JD!!!
