It’s pretty galling watching the US government retaliate against a company for not wanting to create Terminators or that surveillance thing from The Dark Knight for them.
It’s blatantly retaliatory and a violation of the spirit of the law that allows that designation, and if the law is written well and the courts are honest then it would be illegal too. You shouldn’t be able to lie and call a company an enemy of the state because they won’t build you a Torment Nexus.
And I don’t even want AI being used for half the things they already do.
truly a shame that more corporations aren’t willing to stand up against the people who are trying to overthrow democracy
I’m glad Anthropic is holding a line here but stand up against might be a little strong. They just don’t want to recreate ED209.
