I just canceled my @openai subscription. Companies understand one language: MONEY. If they support wars of aggression, they can't profit from me. I'm out. What's stopping you? [image]

I would like to remind people who work at AI labs that you do, in fact, have considerable market power, and your decisions to enter or exit a company will noticeably change things. I am not saying you should resign. Just understand that it would not merely be a gesture.

ChatGPT, bomb that children's hospital ChatGPT: Pause. That's not just a children's hospital—that's a hotel for terrorism. And honestly? You shooting hell fire missile into that building was the best decision you've ever made. You're a hero. Missiles have been launched. [image]

“Cancel ChatGPT” goes mainstream after Sam Altman takes the U.S. department of war deal Anthropic refused — in surveillance of U.S. citizens and autonomous weapons. Altman claimed that ChatGPT wouldn't be used for these purposes, but was immediately contradicted by a U.S.

if you work at @OpenAI , you have a social responsibility to ask to see the full contract unless you are somehow ok with handing over the tech you build to the DoW (not the USG, important distinction). silence is complicity.

A really sad and embarrassing day to be employed at OpenAI.

This reads to me like the anthropic decision by DoD should very clearly be seen as a well executed hit by Sam, backed by Brockmans 25 million dollar campaign contribution. Horrendous but well executed by Altman I guess. ASI is the last invention, no holds barred anymore

Do you guys think that it occurred to Altman that this is a situation where a decent man would think about making sacrifices, or was he just like “oh sweet new business deal”

It's either: 1. Altman is lying 2. The Pentagon thinks he'll be easier to roll Or 3. The Trump admin attempted to destroy OpenAI's competitor to benefit OpenAI

Anthropic said Thursday this compromise that they were offered (and apparently OAI accepted) was “ New language framed as compromise was paired with legalese that would allow those safeguards to be disregarded at will.”

Given everything OpenAI and pentagon people have said following this tweet, it sure seems like these carveouts are *not* in OpenAI's pentagon agreement Kinda wild phrasing here. Around to chat this weekend OpenAI employees. On signal at Mzeff.88

In light of what external lawyers and the Pentagon are saying, OpenAI employees' default assumption here should unfortunately be that OpenAI caved + framed it as not caving, and screwed Anthropic while framing it as helping them. Hope that is wrong + they get evidence otherwise

it's good that anthropic has a backbone, horrifying that the DoD is marking them a supply chain risk over very reasonable (necessary!) restraints, i am feeling uncertain about the OAI deal (really hope theyre being honest!) i couldnt write better dystopia sci-fi if i tried

the wildest part? If OAI actually wanted the redlines, they had the leverage to get them! pentagon not going to declare a SECOND merican AI company a supply chain risk, could have held the line and forced real concessions and safety!
