No domestic mass surveillance. So fuck everyone not from the US.

I honestly care less about the war mongering and more about the “domestic surveillance” part. Like domestic just counts for US citizens, which I’m not. So fuck him too (:

It’s Iran, not Iraq.

Just calm down, I’m not pro AI, but we can still be positive about someone making the right choice for once.

Throwing enough money around there’s plenty of other options for the DoW, be it Microsoft, Google or even hosting their own LLM (open source models are pretty much on-par now).

Dario Amodei is busy calling out the pile of shit that’s the US government. Fighting Altman doesn’t get him anything right now.

Okay, so listen:

The DoW offered Anthropic the contract and they declined, as it has clauses that would allow the government to do whatever they wanted.

Then OpenAI signed the same contract.

How can you say they are the same, when the first company refused the contract? I’m not even from the US and definitely not pro Trump. But there’s things besides black and white.

I still don’t get your point. Anthropic didn’t sign the contract, OpenAI did.

The contract is too loose, it pretty much allows them to do whatever they want.

They literally didn’t sign the new contract and now they are getting punished for it. What are you even talking about?

I missed when sucking up to the Trump administration and echoing Cold War style nationalism was “fair”. If that’s the case, OpenAI’s behavior is fair.

It’s just capitalism. Anthropic pushed against the administration and now they are about to be branded as “supply chain risk”. OpenAI bent over and are going to get billions in funding that they sorely need (and hopefully don’t get, let them fail).

You miss the mark though: Anthropic only praised the administration, but that’s just words to give the Twitter pedo in chief a pat on the head. OpenAI actually signed a contract and they are providing their service. Massive difference.

Especially ChatGPT is awful for that. You ask it something and it always spews a whole page of content.

At work we use Claude, which does produce better output and also calls out your bullshit. There it’s actually helping quite a bit (software development), but of course you have to understand what you are changing and clean things up.

Oof, I don’t even get what they are trying to accomplish there. Maybe they had some kind of social training that told them “Summarize and reply what you understood first to show that you listened and avoid miscommunication, then add your response.” and their brain short circuited and started to think a ChatGPT summarization is the same.

I’d get pretty hostile at work if someone started to do that…

I mean they praised the Trump administration for benefiting their business, which is… fair? I guess?

If you do ask Claude Sonnet 4.6 about Trump it leans quite negative, as it should.

No need to treat your room when you use headphones. No matter how good a speaker setup is, it always stinks compared to decent headphones for me.
