| Someone who until yesterday did not seem bothered by his technology being possibly used to bomb elementary girls school in another country seems to suddenly care about the repression of citizens in yet another country. No, we don't buy your virtue signaling. And we certainly don't need your better-than-thou opinions on this year's "nightmare scenarios". |

| > Someone who until yesterday did not seem bothered by his technology being possibly used to bomb elementary girls school in another country... I might have missed something but wasn't the big story that Dario refused the Department of War's demand to use Anthropic's models for such purposes? |

| ▲ | BeetleB 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | No. He refused the use against US citizens domestically. He had already agreed for military use against others - this is well reported. | | |
| ▲ | mrandish 39 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | Anthropic's ToS restricts the DoW from using their models for 1. Fully autonomous weapons systems, and 2. Mass domestic surveillance. There is no carve-out regarding who the autonomous weapons systems would be used against. | |

| The bombing of the school was horrible, but it was a mistake. I could see essentially the opposite argument: Anthropic should be more involved as to prevent mistakes in the future with better technology. Imagine Claude asking the decision makers at CENTCOM "this looks like a school, are you sure you want this added as a target?" |

| Yeah Dario is just flat out disgusting in term of how shamelessly hypocritical he is. Do people actually believe that he gives a shit about the well being of the Chinese people? If the U.S. starts a war with China start bombing Chinese cities Dario would absolutely jump onboard supporting it. He'd probably make Claude to add DeepSeek and Moonshot HQ to the targeting list lmao. He is super pro-Israel as well, and never once has he brought up the risk of the Israeli government using AI to control and repress people in other countries. He is also 100% onboard with working with Palantir, who has the explicit goal of using AI for population control and repression and building out a surveillance state. Meanwhile the world's most repressive government is North Korea, and obviously they don't even need AI to achieve that. If you talk to people in China they'd laugh their ass off at Dario's notion that somehow they are all getting oppressed by DeepSeek or Kimi. |

| ▲ | gr_norm 4 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | The emptiness of AI companies' waxing poetic about the future of humankind is laid bare by simply looking at what they actually do, and who they do business with. Actions speak louder than words, and they've driven the worth of their words into the dirt many times over. | |

The country that exists solely because of China? That North Korea? I mean I get your point, all of these guys are elitist authoritarians who will do anything for a buck, but I wouldn't bring up the DPRK in this discussion. |

| You act as if anyone was happy to hit an elementary school. I'm sure everyone involved feels it was a terrible tragedy |

| ▲ | davkan 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | You give too much credit. Many think of it as an acceptable cost of waging war, not something to waste regret on. Some few think of it as a positive (they chant death to America over there). |
