US defense officials have pushed for unfettered access to Claude’s capabilities, while Anthropic has reportedly resisted allowing its product to be used for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons systems that can use AI to kill people without human input.
They want to automate the kill bots and Anthropic is saying no.
Anthropic is performatively wringing their hands; we know they don’t really mind causing harm because they’re already complicit. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, and his anti-LGBT executive goon Jason Clinton, make Sam Altman look almost ethical and honest.
And killbots doesn’t refer to some hypothetical Boston Dynamics robot, it’s reaper drones. The same ones being used to bomb fishermen.
only way to stop a bad guy with a reaper drone is a good guy with a reaper drone.
NRDA?
