Nothing but the highest quality drama and theater from Anthropic, as always

Ah yes, the US government forcing private companies to stop selling their products is totally a sign of Anthropic's drama and not our paranoiac fascist regime.

Anthropic spent months going on about how incredibly powerful and dangerous their models are and how access to them needs to be restricted. Now they are getting what they seemingly wanted.

estearum 6 hours ago | parent | next [-]

Clearly they've assessed that the models they released are safe enough to release. Without a clear regulatory framework and Constitutional basis to overrule them, that is Anthropic's decision to make, and not the US government's.

It's disheartening how many people think the use of government power is justified or not based on the WWE smackdown drama they concoct in their own brain instead of, you know, the laws of our nation.

It is very dangerous for the government to be able to shut off services, regardless of whether their owners wrote some blog posts that rubbed you the wrong way.

You fear monger and tell everyone you’re the next Oppenheimer and maybe you eventually catch someone’s ear, whether it’s bullshit or not.

Last I checked I can’t buy a tactical nuke at Walmart. Clearly the government and all states have some power to control private enterprise for the betterment of their citizenry.

For the record I don’t support this ban, but you cry wolf as a marketing tactic and this is what you get…

Their claims about Mythos being powerful were corroborated by companies that were given access to it.

So should we have more people behaving like Sam Altman and just lying about existential risks and anything else?

What's the irony of that? Hyperradical Islamists wish that radical Islamists were more radical, too.

And yes, the administration is hobbled (by design) by our institutions. But, as fascists do, they're doing their best to degrade those controls.

Was Bill Clinton fascist when 128-bit SSL was on export controls? Can’t government be simply bad or dumb anymore without having to slap the “F” word on it?

We’re gonna apply it to so many things it’ll have lost its meaning soon.

Hello. I live in St. Paul, Minnesota. In January of this year my city was under hostile armed occupation. I volunteered for weeks packing boxes of food for people who were afraid to leave their houses because the masked secret police were ripping people off the streets with little regard for legality. Two of my neighbors were murdered by the secret police; a hundred of us sang hymns outside the local elementary school in 20 below weather. One of those murdered was my friend's coworker. The secret police agency has so far successfully opposed any attempt to bring the murderers to justice, and indeed was trying to bring legal charges against the families of the murder victims.

Which 'F' word do you think is appropriate to describe all this? Or has meaning already been lost?

Thank you for your service.

Fear. Fear can make people act irrationally and cloud one's understanding of the lawful actions taking place around them.

Lawful doesn’t mean right. Slavery was lawful.

charcircuit 3 hours ago | parent [-]

Laws are not immutable. Slavery is an example of something that was lawful and then society added rules against it.

In US, the society didn't just "add rules against it". If you recall, the slavers first had to be beaten with a very big stick.

nearlyepic 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-]

and your point is?

I guess anything is ok… as long as it’s ‘lawful’. No government would ever make an unjust law.

You may want to review the 14 points of fascism.

Imagine thinking a person's political philosophy could be determined or disproven by a singular datapoint lmao

Everyone who has touched currency is a capitalist, everyone who has paid taxes is a commie, everyone who has regulated a technology is a fascist

Or perhaps... one must look at the full fact pattern of a person's behavior to approximate (and always imperfectly!) their political philosophy.

Hilarious
