Dario Amodei [...] said he does not want the company’s A.I. to be used to surveil Americans or in autonomous weapons, saying this could “undermine, rather than defend, democratic values.”

This is absolutely reasonable and I support this position.

Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, said in a memo to employees this week that “we have long believed that A.I. should not be used for mass surveillance or autonomous lethal weapons.”

But I don't trust this guy who shows regularly that he wants to be the ruler of the whole world by means of his own AI.

This was the red line for the techbros? This was a bridge to far? Don’t get me wrong, it’s good that they didn’t fold on this point… but fuck, would have been nice if they had taken exception to any of the thousands of red lines the regime has crossed up until now.

Trump wants to use Grok for all things government, but isn't Grok one of the most biased and poorly performative AIs?

This is like Alien vs Predator, whoever wins, we all lose

Yeah… Microsoft and Google have a list of employees to fire now.

Trump will back off to some extent, to avoid inflaming stock markets (and his Big Tech friends heavily invested in Anthropic tooling).

Anthropic will fire a few people. OpenAI will raise money somehow.

That’s about it.
