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.
Serinus, did you see the part where Anthropic wants to develop them with the US military?
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?
That’s your intrepretation - not a direct quote.
Iconoclast, don’t be disingenuous.
The direct quote is “We have offered to work directly with the Department of War on R&D to improve the reliability of these systems”. “We” meaning Anthropic. “These systems” meaning fully autonomous weapons.
Do you acknowledge they did this? Try not to weasel out of answering with more pedantry. It’s almost as disturbing as your apparent defense of that Silicon Valley AI cult.
