    #Anthropic is rejecting the Pentagon’s latest offer to change their contract, saying the changes do not satisfy the company’s concerns that #AI could be used for mass #surveillance or in fully #AutonomousWeapons.

    The #Pentagon & Anthropic are at odds over restrictions the company places on the use of #Claude, the first #AI system to be used in the #military #classified network.

      Amodei said #Anthropic understands that the #Pentagon, “not private companies, makes #military decisions.” But “in a narrow set of cases, we believe #AI can undermine, rather than defend, democratic values.” In the case of mass #surveillance & #AutonomousWeapons are “outside the bounds of what today’s technology can safely & reliably do.”

      Just like all #rapists, #Trump really doesn’t like being told no.

      Trump says he is directing federal agencies to cease use of #Anthropic #technology in a petty whiny social media post.

          Trump's decision stopped short of #threats issued by #Hegseth & the #Pentagon, including that it could invoke the Defense Production Act to require Anthropic's compliance. The Pentagon had also said it considered designating #Anthropic a #SupplyChain risk, a step previously only used against businesses tied to foreign adversaries.

          But #Trump vowed further action if Anthropic did not cooperate with the phaseout.

            @Nonilex strange how quickly one can become "radical left, woke" these days. In one day; out the next. It's almost as if the term means nothing but "fascists don't like this."

                  The setback comes as #AI leader #Anthropic raced to sell novel #technology to #business & #government, particularly for #NationalSecurity, ahead of its widely expected #IPO.

                  At the same time, the battle over #tech #guardrails had raised concerns that the #DoD would follow #US #law [certainly not this one] but little other constraint when deploying AI for national-security missions, regardless of #safety or #ethics service terms embraced by the technology's developers.

                    #Anthropic had sought guarantees that its #AI would not be used for fully #AutonomousWeapons or for mass #domestic #surveillance - applications in which the #Pentagon claimed it had no interest [wink wink nudge nudge].

                      Who knew that a single software vendor not named Elon Musk could "decide the fate of our Country." Trump's Pentagon should work on multiple sourcing for all key products.

                      Btw, pretty sure there isn't a "Radical Left" vendor of any products for the Pentagon.

                          But AI is an airplane constructed in flight, removing engineers, will lead to predictable results.

                              @Nonilex That's what these LLMs are for though, I don't understand the conflict unless it's just "we should own all the stolen data, not the government".

                                @d_a_n_a @Nonilex precisely the lesson of "first they came for..." there's no safety in merely not *yet* being in a target group.

                                  @alex_p_roe that's definitely the trouble. Just because this AI company won't do it, we know that others will.

                                    Just like all #rapists, #Trump really doesn’t like being told no.

                                    Trump says he is directing federal agencies to cease use of #Anthropic #technology in a petty whiny social media post.

                                      #Anthropic had sought guarantees that its #AI would not be used for fully #AutonomousWeapons or for mass #domestic #surveillance - applications in which the #Pentagon claimed it had no interest [wink wink nudge nudge].

                                        Late Friday, #Defense Secy Pete #Hegseth followed #Trump’s unhinged post, saying in his own post that he was declaring #Anthropic a #SupplyChainRisk. “Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic,” Hegseth wrote.

                                          #Anthropic said it would fight the blacklisting in court. In a blog post late Friday, the company said that it believed the wide-reaching ban #Hegseth described was not permitted by federal #law & that the designation of the company as a #SupplyChainRisk was “legally unsound.”
