In this dispute, on the one side, is an AI company, which, simply by virtue of being an AI company, is inherently, intrinsically, and innately scummy, as could be observed by anyone following all this crap for the past few years.
And yet, in this confrontation, the AI company is the fucking good guy hero in comparison to the other side, on which we have the true epitome of putrid scumbaggery: the Donald Trump """"""""""administration.""""""""""
That's the state of the world we live in right now.
(EDIT)
Follow up article: "Trump orders federal agencies to stop using Anthropic technology in dispute over AI safety"
Of particular disgust: "The move is likely to benefit Elon Musk's competing chatbot, Grok, which the Pentagon plans to give access to classified military networks, and could serve as a warning to two other competitors, Google and OpenAI, that also have contracts to supply their AI tools to the military."
The fucking last thing we need is fucking Grok, of all fucking gen-AIs, being given "access to classified military networks." Imagine if Skynet wasn't just a stereotypical genocidal "evil AI" but was also a racist, neo-Nazi piece of shit on top of that. That's Grok. Do we really want Elon Musk and his gen-AI Mini-Me to have "access to classified military networks"? I mean, no, we don't, not any more than we'd want any of these other AI bros in charge of them, but if we had to give an AI bro "access to classified military networks," Phony Stark is probably by far the worst choice of all. I mean, just look at how much shit Elron Mustard managed to fuck up when he was "merely" the head of DOGE. Oh, and what happens if Sissy SpaceX and Dumbshit Jackass get into another pissing contest again? Something to ponder.
