That’s not really a to the point I was making, but as you’ve brought it up, he said that in the midst of refusing to accede to the US militaries demands that they get to use AI for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. You’ve snipped his words tactically before the pivot to refusal. He said that private companies have no say in how a military chooses to wage war however they would not allow the use of their AI for those two things. And he’s right. If Lockheed decided they didn’t like Obama or a military decision of his and grounded their drones to punish him, that would be inappropriate. Lockheed nor Anthropic get to dictate US military policy. That (among other things) is why we are supposed to elect a President with the wherewithal to make those decisions. Now, I don’t know Dario. He’s a rich CEO and probably he belongs at the bottom of the sea with the rest. But Anthropic refused to allow their tech to be used that way, and that’s more than Google or OpenAI, both of whom were audibly salivating to supplant them. Anthropic seems to be the least bad out of all the options. That being said, I’m placing my hopes in local AI and getting rid of all the big players, including Anthropic. But in the meanwhile, I do respect them for taking a stand none of their competitors would.
