OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote in a memo to staff that he will draw the same red lines that sparked a high-stakes fight between rival Anthropic and the Pentagon: no AI for mass surveillance or autonomous lethal weapons.

Lol until they offer him money. This guy has no principles.

More than likely they already have the money and this is the theater designed to get everyone to stand down.

Governments wanting an AI powered police state was always the obvious outcome. Does Plantir not have AI tools?

They have, but no LLM as far as I am aware of.

Yeah right. This whore is looking for a reason to spread his legs.

And we are all going to believe him /s

The lines being extra bendy.

... So, the robots won't tell you how sorry they are before they shoot you? They'll just like, do it? Unacceptable.

No, they won't, but they may shoot you.

But their models can not be used as flexible as an LLM, they are purpose made

Doesn't Hegseth want to make LLM to control military equipment.

I would imagine this would fail spectacularly and maybe it would be trigger that would pop the AI bubble. LLM doesn't think.

Lies.

See everyone, the tech oligarchs totally will save us!

... /s

Sam “me too” Altman over here

Yeah most likely Sam Altman just spun up a side company and copied over the entire model weights and sold it to the government in either a singular purchase/acquisition or license and then can say “well they’re not using OpenAI APIs”

The Chinese models are open weights. DoD can just use those. Right?

You dropped this: #

He'd sell his own granny for a 0.1% bump in market share.

Wrong “me too” you dingus

“Grandma wishes she owned stock in us!”

Drunk + stoned does not help a Scandinavian 🤣.

Careful you might make a berserker potion and wake up in Britain covered in blood an shirtless.

Oh, I very much doubt that. They're counting on the federal goverment as a "backstop" to their over extended debts when the bill comes due (several orders of magnitude over extended, mind you. More than a trillion over extended.). They're gonna play mouth service for the public, but give Bitch Baby Trump whatever it takes to keep that backstop secured and reep all the benefits of their beyond unrealistic gamble and none of the financial consequences.

lol nvm he sold out in under 24 hours

I've only done that once. I learn from my mistakes.

That was about 12 hours before they reached an agreement with the Pentagon.

Doubt

I mean no, the article is literally saying that he claims the DoW agreed to all the same terms that Anthropic laid out. Which if true, would objectively not be selling out. But yes, something isn't adding up.

That has aged poorly, now that Altman erased those red lines in order to get some more Pentagon funding.

Jesus fuck it didn't even take a day, I'm actually impressed.
