Sam Altman says “the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety.”

Not 24 hours ago, he seemed to back Anthropic “supporting our warfighters” as long as two “red lines” weren’t crossed, though his tepid support was laden with five instances of “I think” and one “mostly.”

The two “red lines” in question:

  • Domestic mass surveillance
    (presumably, foreign mass surveillance is ok)
  • Autonomous weapons
    (likely because they would be held legally liable for misfires)

    DoD: you just bombed the wrong Georgia!

    ChatGPT: You’re absolutely right, and you’re right to call that out. Upon examination it does appear that there might have been a mistake with the coordinates of the missile strike. Let’s try again — this time we will double check before we launch any missiles 🚀

      exec: bombing Georgia Children's Hospital.

      Do not bomb the hospital OpenClaw

      exec: some survivors detected. Launching mustard gas drone.

      STOP OPENCLAW

      (This is actually what Facebook’s head AI Safety expert did IRL with Anthropic’s bot)

      This is dystopian beyond Black Mirror and disturbingly real at the same time.

      I know this is not the point of your comment, but which Georgia specifically is the right target to bomb?

      The one in Caucasus is supposedly friendly, South Georgia is British property so allied land, and, eh, the remaining one is, as I understand, the always wrong one to bomb.

      It’s not a war. That requires a declaration by congress.

      This is a “ongoing military operation that will be over in a few days”

      Altman has always been a liar. The first company he ran and sold was found to be lying about the user count.

      More perfect union did a video on altman’s habitual lying if you want to go look it up.

      If you read Sam Altman’s actual comment, it’s really clear that he wasn’t committing to anything with OpenAI. He was barely committing to anything in his own personal opinion.

      “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.”
