They went from standing with Anthropic to throwing them under the bus real fast

mainstream

I'll believe that when my sisters start saying this. Till then, it's just us privacy fans screaming in a dark cave, enjoying the echo.

Canada recently has had its 2nd worst school shooting ever. The killer had many interactions with ChatGPT that warranted banning her account. A whistleblower has claimed that they wanted to inform Canada's police force of these comments but were denied by ChatGPT's management.

They had a chance to stop the death of 8 people, most of which were young children, but failed to do anything.

FUCK CHATGPT AND THOSE BASTARDS THAT RUN IT

Windows Central shouldn't be parroting the U.S. government in mislabeling the Department of Defense.

Sam Altman is objectively a bad human being.

I cannot believe this is what it took for a boycott to go more mainstream. Tell me more about how so many people have no respect for the environment or the artists who's work they gleefully consume.

Anthropic still is scum for being completely fine helping America oppress the rest of the world.

The Department of War isn't a real thing. Its called The Department of Defense. That's not my opinion either, its officially/legally called The Department of Defense.

Use for "all lawful means" is quite the grey area considering no one was arrested or fired, or any law updated, for what Snowden leaked. If the NSA does it, no one will arrest the NSA.

"You're absolutely right! That was a children's hospital, not a military base. Let's try that again!"

You should also stop using Google products for similar reasons.

After Anthropic refused flat out to agree to apply Claude AI to autonomous weapons and mass surveillance of American citizens, OpenAI jumps right into bed with the United States Department of War.

I think people are a little bit missing the important bit. This government wants to send out autonomous weapons along with mass surveillance. They'll just murder anyone they want, if the AI gets it right in the first place.

Here we are in Running Man and no one sees it coming. This is why Stephen King is so against this administration. He predicted it.

I can't believe people were paying for it in the first place.

nice headline, but wtf is windows central?

Dude the only guardrails are

1. No fully automated killings

2. No mass surveillance

You could literally do anything else, you could automate killing people with a person approving.

Trump booted anthropic because they couldn't lift these two guardrails. Fuck me

So many companies are cozying up to the fascist regime as this is the late stage of capitalism.

A list of some of these companies: https://x.com/vxunderground/status/2024200204296061089?s=20

I am canceling my subscription now. Fuckers.

From OpenAI's statement:

We have three main red lines that guide our work with the DoW, which are generally shared by several other frontier labs:

• No use of OpenAI technology for mass domestic surveillance.

• No use of OpenAI technology to direct autonomous weapons systems.

• No use of OpenAI technology for high-stakes automated decisions (e.g. systems such as “social credit”).

It specifically states their AI can't/won't be used for surveillance and autonomous weapons. Of course I'm not saying I trust them, but isn't this the same thing Anthropic says they're against? What's the difference here or what did I miss?

Yea, I can just imagine OpenAI is really struggling with their business decision.

On the one hand, they have multi-billion dollar contracts with the US Military that will make them all fabulously wealthy beyond their wildest dreams.

On the other, they have a handful of individuals leaving that might amount to a few thousand dollars of lost revenue.

Gosh, it must sure have been a tough choice.

I'd argue that an armed uprising would have a greater effect than a smaller internet-based boycott but I'm just some random guy on some niche internet forum so... who's to say?

I’m wondering if this is a play for a future bailout. OpenAI knows they are fucked; and instead of just going away like most companies do when they fail, they are embedding themselves in the government to secure a bailout under the guise of a critical defence vendor.

Furthermore, I’m not convinced the researchers and critical personnel will work for a company that does this. I think we’re about to see the biggest jumping of a ship so far in the industry.

Anyone stockpiling ai prompt vulnerabilities for when we'll eventually need them to fight off some deathbots?

Glad that I've switched platforms. sam altman should probably be in prison or something.

I've been using Venice lately, they claim (I have done zero research to determine if this is true) that they're privacy focused. They do run uncensored models, which is a big plus.

That said, I find myself using the lying machine less these days. It was like a fun video game when I first got my hands on it, entertaining for a while, and I'm moving on. Maybe I'm not imaginative enough to use it to the fullest potential, but I'm having more fulfillment actually writing and actually drawing (even though I am very bad at both).

Just the little push I needed to close my ChatGPT account
