Because that, apparently, is what Pete Hegseth is demanding Anthropic allow the Defense Department access to do…demanding that Anthropic strip away the safeguards and give the Pentagon unfettered AI with Anthropic’s Claude.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei until Friday evening to give the military unfettered access to its AI model or face harsh penalties, Axios has learned.
The big picture: Hegseth told Amodei in a tense meeting on Tuesday that the Pentagon will either cut ties and declare Anthropic a “supply chain risk,” or invoke the Defense Production Act to force the company to tailor its model to the military’s needs.
It’s what’s going to happen anyway. I’m not in favor of pressuring Anthropic like Hegseth is threatening them basically telling them they can’t do any business with companies with government contracts. Musk would be happy to offer his AI project to the DOD so why not go that way.
I wasn’t in favor of the patriot act much less this ■■■■■ AI is going to be the death of society because it’s going to be used for all the wrong reasons.
The thought that was sold to us was AI will help solve complex problems especially in the help of eradicating diseases. Instead like automation it’s going to be used for mass job cuts and surveillance. And a bunch of other horrible things you can possibly think of.
We’ve already seen this movie play out from terminator to iRobot. In terms of AI there needs to be regulation now before whole industries get shutdown. I’m in IT and the high ups are salivating over it, even in its infancy. Give it a few years I’ll probably be out a job and instead of having to compete against H1b visas I’m going to have to compete with them and the machines I will lose as will most other programmers.
what a silly complaint. of course it would benefit our military to make sure they are killing the right guy and destroying the right target.
What good is an AI to the military that can’t overcome countermeasures and present a firing solution? What good is an AI that can’t be used in planning military actions?
The apples you sold me? Make them taste better even though I already bought them. And if you don’t, I will use my authority to force you make the apples taste better - and in addition, I won’t let others buy your apples.
Right because the government choosing another supplier is EXACTLY like the government forcing a supplier to do its bidding while also threatening to destroy the supplier’s business.
You don’t even try to hide how many principles you have discarded in order to continue to support Trump, do you?
Right because a charge that allows a person due process (trial and appeals all the way up to the Supreme Court, of which Navarro availed himself) is exactly the same thing as the government telling a private business “give us the power to kill and spy indiscriminately without a human in the loop or else we will force you to do so and/or destroy your ability to do business with others”.
Anthropic isn’t saying they have to be the human in the loop…only that there has to be a human in the loop.
For safety and accountability.
So again, how do those safeguards prevent the military from doing what it needs to do?
And what do you think of a government that tells a private business “Do exactly what we want or not only will we force you to, we may destroy your ability to do business with anyone else”?
Oh wait, we already know what you think. You think that’s the same thing as simply choosing another supplier with which to do business.
Hegseth said his vision for military AI systems means that they operate “without ideological constraints that limit lawful military applications”, before adding that the Pentagon’s “AI will not be woke”.
So apparently unless the military has the ability to use AI to perform mass surveillance on its own populace or indiscriminately kill without any human accountability built into the loop, then that is “woke” AI.
