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

    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.

    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.

      It’s always like this. We get a ton of articles on how everyone is suddenly boycotting/deleting [insert thing] but when you ask someone in real life, they usually have no idea what you’re talking about.

        They probably have been working on a potential agreement with openai for a while now. They just hastily finished it in response to anthropic. But I don’t know if they will keep the red lines anthropic has demanded in place

    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.

        The fact that the Trump administration can create web sites saying whatever it pleases does not make the name change legitimate.

    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.

      Especially since the Trump admin already made it clear that they don’t respect preferred pronouns. Why should we use the DoD’s preferred pronouns of Department of War instead of the Department of Defense name it legally has? DoW is just DoD’s preferred pronoun.

      Yeah, there are all sorts of ways in which standing up to the administration is hard, but calling something by its actual name should be a relatively easy thing to do!
