On the plus side, the US government has now ensured Anthropic will do more than the bare minimum in the US.
Of course, that means it’s now OpenAI making kill decisions.

Also, important to remember the distinction here. This was all because the only aspect Anthropic was actually against was AI being allowed to make kill decisions. They are fine with the DOD using their AI tech, just not fine with AI making kill decisions. So it’s not like they were saying “no, you can’t use our tech at all.”. Anthropic AI is definitely still in use by the US government… Just not using it for AI to make decisions on who to kill.
I mean… imho that’s a distinction without a difference. Sure a human will have the final say, but they will be working from what the AI produced, which could be hallucinated and unless the human checks the output against the actual evidence, they will just sign off on a kill order from hallucinated AI “analysis.”

To be fair, LAWs are repugnant and well worth refusing to make. But yeah they shouldn’t be working with the military in general

Anthropic’s biggest issue isn’t even killing people with their autonomous weapons. Their complaint, if you read what they say, is that they can’t deploy weapons that won’t kill Americans. Everybody else be damned.
CEO Dario Amado wants to develop these autonomous weapons in conjunction with Hegseth and Trump’s “Department of War,” as he calls it.

Even worse than my initial understanding of it. Of course. These people are fucking wild.
