Actually it’s so they have plausible deniability if they “accidentally” kill a bunch of people that just so happens to be a group they openly despise.

I think that’s way way worse but

They went from standing with Anthropic to throwing them under the bus real fast

They probably have been working on a potential agreement with openai for a while now. They just hastily finished it in response to anthropic. But I don't know if they will keep the red lines anthropic has demanded in place

[-] Furbag@lemmy.world 19 points 5 days ago

They won't.

Which they badly need, they are in an incredibly risky position right now. It's very disappointing, this deal might save them from collapse for quite a while.

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 41 points 5 days ago

The only disappointment, is that Altmans head is still attached to his shoulders.

mainstream

I'll believe that when my sisters start saying this. Till then, it's just us privacy fans screaming in a dark cave, enjoying the echo.

It's always like this. We get a ton of articles on how everyone is suddenly boycotting/deleting [insert thing] but when you ask someone in real life, they usually have no idea what you're talking about.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 29 points 5 days ago

so explain it to them gently. you won't reach everyone, but you'll reach more people than accepting this status quo

Canada recently has had its 2nd worst school shooting ever. The killer had many interactions with ChatGPT that warranted banning her account. A whistleblower has claimed that they wanted to inform Canada's police force of these comments but were denied by ChatGPT's management.

They had a chance to stop the death of 8 people, most of which were young children, but failed to do anything.

FUCK CHATGPT AND THOSE BASTARDS THAT RUN IT

Sam Altman is objectively a bad human being.

[-] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 42 points 5 days ago

Sam Altman is just some fail upward money guy, he's been eventually removed from basically every prior position he has held.

[-] PolarKraken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 5 days ago

Seems like his career has largely been lying and making impossible promises, so. The folks who do that well always manage to exit the stage before the magic tincture is revealed to just be piss 🤷‍♂️

Windows Central shouldn't be parroting the U.S. government in mislabeling the Department of Defense.

I mean it's at least accurate now, there is no defense when you are starting war with everyone

I cannot believe this is what it took for a boycott to go more mainstream. Tell me more about how so many people have no respect for the environment or the artists who's work they gleefully consume.

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Yeah instead of arguing over whether Anthropic is actually good, let’s unite around “fuck OpenAI.”

[-] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 4 days ago

Dude the only guardrails are

  1. No fully automated killings

  2. No mass surveillance

You could literally do anything else, you could automate killing people with a person approving.

Trump booted anthropic because they couldn't lift these two guardrails. Fuck me

[-] Paddy66@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 days ago

I would assume that Anthropic's stance is mostly performative. But while people are in boycotting mood they could solve the surveillance problem by quitting ALL big tech products. Here’s our site that lists all the ethical, non-spyware alternatives:

Anthropic still is scum for being completely fine helping America oppress the rest of the world.

From OpenAI's statement:

We have three main red lines that guide our work with the DoW, which are generally shared by several other frontier labs:

• No use of OpenAI technology for mass domestic surveillance.

• No use of OpenAI technology to direct autonomous weapons systems.

• No use of OpenAI technology for high-stakes automated decisions (e.g. systems such as “social credit”).

It specifically states their AI can't/won't be used for surveillance and autonomous weapons. Of course I'm not saying I trust them, but isn't this the same thing Anthropic says they're against? What's the difference here or what did I miss?

[-] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 days ago

Anthropic put clauses in that were legally enforceable by future administrations. OpenAI says “yea we totally trust you bro”

[-] Sp00kyB00k@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Sam Altman is the king of the trust me bro and than backpedaling on it.

[-] flamingleg@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 days ago

the 'no domestic surveillance' is just language that mirrors some limitations (from their pov) from the patriot act. They're still willing to surveil people outside the USA, and in fact all they have to do is route domestic traffic through an international part of a network and they can legally spy on domestic americans which is what already happens.

[-] pnelego@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

I’m wondering if this is a play for a future bailout. OpenAI knows they are fucked; and instead of just going away like most companies do when they fail, they are embedding themselves in the government to secure a bailout under the guise of a critical defence vendor.

Furthermore, I’m not convinced the researchers and critical personnel will work for a company that does this. I think we’re about to see the biggest jumping of a ship so far in the industry.

Use for "all lawful means" is quite the grey area considering no one was arrested or fired, or any law updated, for what Snowden leaked. If the NSA does it, no one will arrest the NSA.

The Department of War isn't a real thing. Its called The Department of Defense. That's not my opinion either, its officially/legally called The Department of Defense.

Since this article, Anthropic's Claude AI app has claimed the #1 top spot over ChatGPT on both Android and iOS.

After Anthropic refused flat out to agree to apply Claude AI to autonomous weapons and mass surveillance of American citizens, OpenAI jumps right into bed with the United States Department of War.

I think people are a little bit missing the important bit. This government wants to send out autonomous weapons along with mass surveillance. They'll just murder anyone they want, if the AI gets it right in the first place.

Here we are in Running Man and no one sees it coming. This is why Stephen King is so against this administration. He predicted it.

Now imagine my shock when I had done the swap from ChatGPT to Claude the day before the news about Anthropic's (now backpedalled) deal. Anyway, I deleted ChatGPT and Gemini accounts and degoogled my life while I was at it.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 34 points 5 days ago

I can't believe people were paying for it in the first place.

A Microsoft-oriented news outlet.

Think similar to MacRumors/9to5Mac/AppleInsider for Apple.

So many companies are cozying up to the fascist regime as this is the late stage of capitalism.
