THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military.

The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution. Their selfishness is putting AMERICAN LIVES at risk, our Troops in danger, and our National Security in JEOPARDY.

Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology. We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again! There will be a Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic’s products, at various levels. Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow.

WE will decide the fate of our Country — NOT some out-of-control, Radical Left AI company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Republicans used to be against governments that told businesses how they should be run. 🙄

Heartbreaking: worst person you know makes a good decision

[–] timestatic@feddit.org 11 points 1 month ago

No not really. They'll just find another company who will build them machines that kill without human intervention.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Well, you know what they say. The sun even shines on a stopped dog's ass twice a day.

Or something like that. I don't fucking know anymore.

This man is literally insane.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Nah. He just has a very high willingness to lie or misrepresent anything. Like, no regard for reputation or consistency or anything. He'll make entirely-contradictory statements depending upon occasion. If he thinks that it will buy the slightest iota of political oomph to say that Anthropic is violating the Constitution, he'll do so, even if he doesn't have the slightest grounds to make that statement.

lol these statuses always read like trembling balled up fists on a fat angry toddler

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

I love how he thinks capitalising a word gives it some kind of magical authority.

or I will use the Full Power (TM) of the Presidency (LLC)

Ethics might be contagious, better not take the risk.

What AI to use for murder automation probably shouldn't be at the whim of a guy that can probably barely work a TV remote.

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 7 points 1 month ago

The result is what we should aim for, but the reason for it is… debatable.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Talk in other comment sections suggests this means Nvidia (or AMD, or Cerebras, or Intel or anyone) can’t legally supply Anthropic with hardware.

So it effectively kills Anthropic? And that would sink the stock market.

As at the other extreme, a lot of Big Tech (like Palantir) is heavily reliant on Anthropic, which would unsettle the oligarchs and likely force Trump to walk back.


I don’t know if this is true, but this does smell like one of Trumps many “unenforceable tweets”

"HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS"

What? Did a child write this? Wins wars? Does he think it's kind of a game?

Americans please help me understand this sentence

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

America hasn't won a war (or conflict even) since WW2.

He's a man shaped entity with the brain of a dementia riddled geriatric because that's exactly what he is. That man has so many health conditions the only reason he's not dead is they're fighting over who gets to kill him.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

This post made me realize about how Trump has literally been posting on "Truth" this whole time. It couldn't be more literally 1984 if you tried. "Truth details" jfc

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

Buy the dip. This is gonna pull AI stocks down a bit and then they will "magically" come to an acceptable deal mid next week.

[–] gwl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Silver lining, this might actually cause the bubble to pop
