OpenAI strikes a deal with the Defense Department to deploy its AI models

Sam Altman says “the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety.”
Not 24 hours ago, he seemed to back Anthropic “supporting our warfighters” as long as two “red lines” weren’t crossed, though his tepid support was laden with five instances of “I think” and one “mostly.”
The two “red lines” in question:
Domestic mass surveillance
(presumably, foreign mass surveillance is ok)
Autonomous weapons
(likely because they would be held legally liable for misfires)

DoD: you just bombed the wrong Georgia! ChatGPT: You’re absolutely right, and you’re right to call that out. Upon examination it does appear that there might have been a mistake with the coordinates of the missile strike. Let’s try again — this time we will double check before we launch any missiles 🚀

Strange timing, just as a new US war starts…
