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
You have to realize, what exactly Anthropic refused: To extend the current contract to two things:
- Autonomous Weapons (AI deciding on firing weapons to kill humans)
- AI-powered mass surveillance of american citizens
refusing those two things makes it to be the only AI company that is ““radical left””. Now Google, OpenAI or Grok will do what Anthropic has done already, plus mass surveillance plus AI-killcommands
It’s crazy how not only ethics but now safety is “radically left”
Well, extremists love to abuse the concept of context
Yeah, one of the two was a pure safety play, not even ethics.
If I sell the military an ATV for shuffling things around on base, I might engineer a speed limiter to prevent the ATV from going faster than what its safety features are rated at. But a demand that I remove the governor so that the vehicle can go all lawful speeds totally misses the point. Whether it is illegal or unethical to do so, it’s still bad engineering to use dangerous technology beyond the scope of what it (and its safety features) has been designed for.
At the very least, didn’t Sam Altman/OpenAI say they intend to have these exact same restrictions?
Yeah, Sam Altman says a lot of things…
like that he didn’t rape his sister
Isn’t Altman Gay?
rape and sexual impropriety are about power and control, not sexual orientation.
Oh fuck
Hahahahahahhahahhahahahahhahhaha
Sam Altman the infamous grifter? The same Altman whose foot in the door into the tech industry was inflating user numbers to get his app sold? That Sam Altman?
I don’t want to paraphrase him out of context, so here is his full statement:
“I don’t personally think the Pentagon should be threatening DPA against these companies. But I also think that companies that choose to work with the Pentagon, as long as it is going to comply with legal protections and the few red lines that the field, we have, I think we share with Anthropic and that other companies also independently agree with, I think it is important to do that. For all the differences I have with Anthropic, I mostly trust them as a company, and I think they really do care about safety, and I’ve been happy that they’ve been supporting our warfighters.”
aaand he gave up on them already 😂
Well, there’s news about them being the replacement. So, no, they won’t.
Just listened to the “Search Engine” episode about anthropic that I think came out today? I am happy they stuck to their guns, but also, yeah google, open AI, grok, whatever, will happily do whatever crimes against humanity
Yeah, it’s going to be Grok. Who wouldn’t want an autonomous Mecha-Hitler killing things?
And Anthropic refused? Surely they must be the evil ones!
IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology
There will be a Six Month phase out period
What a fucking moron.
He used Claude to write this. Also, it’s a false flag, Anthropic will still snitch on you.
Don’t think it’s a false flag, he’s personally pissed at them and they’re losing their juicy contract to ClosedAI.
Doesn’t change the fact that they’re an American corporation and will absolutely snitch on you though.
I don’t think that’s what ya mean with “false flag”, that’s a little specific (could also be me missing your point of course).
But hard agree. Even despite this, it looks good, sure - but let time earn trust, it will find it if there’s any to be found.
Until then - nonetheless, I say reward the moves that look like “we don’t need you”, to fascists. It ain’t much but it’s something.
Most probably what went on was…
DoW decided to go with OpenAI for military stuff and Anthropic for covert surveillance.
So they are now giving a PR boost to Anthropic, to increase market permeation and increase their short term effectiveness.
Anthropic will release 17 updates in that time. They don’t care.
Maybe i should give Claude a try, thanks for recommendation pedo j. trump
How are Anthropic left wing? I thought they were regarded as being not much better than ChatGPT?
everything 47 personally doesn’t like is lunatic left. AOC? lunatic left. eating his broccoli? lunatic left. when his phone runs out of battery mid toilet tantrum? lunatic left
Two of the Supreme Court Justices he appointed? Believe it or not, lunatic left.
Trade deals he negotiated and signed. Believe it or not, lunatic left.
see, you get it. Melania doesn’t do blowies anymore? lunatic left. representative Massey from Kentucky? lunatic left. his doctor telling him he shouldn’t have more than one vitaball in a day? lunatic left
lol what’s the Melania one? I want to read his tweet on that.
oh he hasn’t tweeted about it. but she refuses to let him hold her hand
They’re not. Standard lying and propaganda that they do. You can’t trust in anything they say, in any reasoning they claim.
They said something once and now Trumpet is upset.
I wonder what kicked the tantrum off.
They are standing firm on two very reasonable AI guardrails that the Pentagon wants removed.
Anthropic has drawn two red lines: no mass surveillance of Americans and no fully autonomous weapons.
Oddly enough this positions Anthropic as the sole big player in the (seriously disastrously) complicit landscape of roughly ALL large tech I’m aware of, to say nothing of AI, willing to refuse, and do so publicly, over something that matters, while that thing invites big $$$.
I hate to say this, but this really should be (tentatively, but ideally dramatically) rewarded.
Like a large scared dog, on a leash, in a yard with a bunch of even bigger ones. Ones with leashes held by something permanently unreliable, and all the dogs know it.
And Anthropic is the only one that does the “play bow”. And we don’t get to leave the yard.
What we do get is bad, and big, choices to be made.
He didn’t get what he wanted, so it’s tantrum time until he does.
You know this is how he behaved growing up, his Orc parents indulged it, and that’s why he behaves like a spoiled child.
The absurdity to claim that Anthropic is strong-arming the DoD and forcing them to do anything when just the other day it was reported that the DoD was threatening this exact action if Anthropic didn’t comply with their demands is laughable.
It feels like a pretty low bar to clear to tell this orange fuck to piss off, but at least one of the AI companies has a spine.
Anthropic is self righteous and self serving.
Like, I like local LLMs more than most, and Anthropic models are great at the moment, but don’t mistake Anthropic for having a spine.
I mean… this is losing them a 200 million dollar contract. And to one of their competitors who will gladly acquiesce, so it’s hard to argue that this benefits them.
Good marketing to a bunch of left-wing people who hate AI, I guess, but that feels like Elon joining the Trump administration in hopes of selling Teslas to rednecks, it might work on a few, but I just can’t imagine this is 4D chess that will make them a fortune when they’re abandoning that much money immediately.
Their statement also came after the DOW threatened to put them on the list of companies that are totally banned from doing any business in America, usually reserved for Chinese companies that are deemed a national security threat, which would make it illegal for any company doing business in America to do any business with them, as they’d be added to the same list, which would have essentially killed Anthropic as a business entirely.
You don’t have to love Anthropic because they did a good thing, they were fine with anything less than automatic killing and mass surveillance, after all, but I don’t think it’s correct to say this was sneaky and spineless somehow.
Eh, the context I was thinking of is that they are constantly playing “safety theatre” where it absolutely doesn’t matter. They’ve tried to kill open models and basically capture regulators by misleading or outright lying, for their benefit.
In other words, this is a case of “a broken clock is right sometimes,” and I think they knew Trump will back down.
Fair, I definitely haven’t simped for them in the past just because they post some good articles on AI safety.
Although… I’ll say of them, they seem more like what OpenAI should be, actually trying to implement AI responsibly, and freely sharing that information. It’s good research, even if marketing is the motivation. Meanwhile OpenAI, the “charity” that’s supposed to guide us to a responsible AI future, moved their most addictive and mentally dangerous model to the highest paid tier instead of actually killing it until very recently.
Although at the end of the day, Anthropic is a for-profit company, in a better world they wouldn’t have released models publicly before this research was actually done and pressing dangers like AI psychosis were actually safeguarded against. Better late than never, sure, but the whole industry has done a lot of damage already, and the work of resolving the issues still isn’t even close to done.
I’m betting this ends with Amthropic somehow giving him money.
Sadly you’re almost certainly right, at least eventually.
You are asking for eternity from that which is temporary.
Every day I am more astounded that anyone voted for this absolute moron.
Unfortunately, I’m not surprised in the least.
During his first term, he wasn’t nearly as unhinged as he was during this term, because he was still building his cult, which he continued doing after he lost the 2020 election. With the 2024 election, virtually everything lined up in his favor. The Democratic candidate was somebody who had not even been in the primaries, the size of his cult was at an all-time high, and the political division was even further increased from 2016. Even with all that in his favor, he still didn’t show his most unhinged ideas until after the election.
Anybody with a reasonable amount of intelligence would obviously have voted against him, but forward thinking doesn’t seem to be a common trait these days.
No sensible party would rely on reasonably intelligent voters.
I’m not too familiar with the specifics, but didn’t they put their foot down about just two safeguards? Sure, it’s having a spine, but I have to wonder if the line they draw isn’t a bit too far either way.
Dude, this just gave Anthropic so much credibility. They can literally own the entire AI market now.
Before this, I hated Anthropic, and now I just feel neutral.
You should still hate it.
I hate it again https://warclaude-alpha.vercel.app/
Feel like elaborating any? Looks like pretty over-the-top satire at a glance, but I’d always rather hear from people than read docs, “search things up” (for fuck’s sake lol), etc.
Dario revealed he doesn’t allow using his AI for surveillance and weapons-not because it’s unethical, but because AI isn’t good enough. He said he would gladly help with the surveillance of others and assist in automated killing with better accuracy.
Oh gotcha. My bad that was clear to me going in, def a whoosh
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.
How can anyone read this shit and not cringe?
Because it’s a fucking cult and Trump’s word is about as good as fucking Moses’.
You ever see how he wrote the ten commandments? Exact same emphasis.
Oh god. Are you telling me Trump is the racist white man’s modern Moses?
That’s literally what his cult thinks of him
that’s my president, he tells it like it is!
Trump supporters who wear Trump that bitch shirts proudly
Add a comma and I might wear it.
Would need to be really big or distinguishable, else people will miss the comma
They’re not reading but looking for keywords. People with low literacy do that.
Even by Trump’s standards it seems quite unhinged, indeed. Sounds bat shit crazy, tbh.
“pedophile Donald J Trump yells at the cloud”
Serve Skynet or die… you traitorous scum, is exactly how Skynet gets started and ends.
HE IS A DEMENTED RAPIST CONMAN
Literally none of those words are hyperbole either. This comment is closer to factual reporting than what’s left on American TVs.
It’s also just reasons they vote and support him
Sounds like Sam Altman would be a better match for Donald Trump.
You forgot Pedo and Felon… not that anyone cares. Honestly at this point he could sign his emails with that list and people would still vote him in and back him.
A spoiled brat writing a angry letter to santa saying his parents don’t let him do stupid things.
Only it’s the elected US President.
This reads like a Star Wars opening crawl: https://starwarsintrogenerator.com/scroller?u=26zznrtq
Imagine if Star Wars opening crawls read like midnight Palpatine rants on ForceSocial.
This is amazing. Thank you!

Ethics might be contagious, better not take the risk.
Good, let the nutjobs fight
