Some may have believed they were against AI being used for war. They just don’t want it to make the final kill decision.

The argument given by those supporting them is that AI in the military was inevitable, so their position is a reasonable one.

    You said Anthropic didn’t want to develop autonomous weapons. Anthropic contradicts you. They do want to develop them.

    Can you acknowledge this fact?

    I love how Anthropic only draws the line at autonomously killing Americans, too. I guess some lives are worth more than others.

        They’re building tools to <cull people and children> from half way across the world and you’re worried about the tone?

        It’s not a very solid point. They said they may become necessary at some point, but right now they’re irresponsible.

        They’re not ruling it out in the future, but their focus is on today’s problem.

          Serinus, did you see the part where Anthropic wants to develop them with the US military?

            with our two requested safeguards in place.

            Said safeguards being that their technology isn’t being used for mass surveillance or the development of autonomous drones. It’s explicitly mentioned in their statement - the one you’re desperately trying to massage and misquote to make it seem like they’re saying something they’re not - yet anyone can just go and read it themselves

              Iconoclast, I see you edited your post after I replied. You did not answer whether you accept the fact that Anthropic explicitly wanted to develop fully autonomous AI alongside the Trump Department of “War.”

              Either you’re lying, or you’re the one desperately trying to reshape the truth.

              Iconoclast, you have moved beyond accidental deception into intentional lies.

              Anthropic offered to work directly with the Department of “War” on R&D to improve the reliability of autonomous bombing systems.

              That’s what your link says. Do you deny this explicit fact?
