Oh really? Damn didn’t know that. Wouldn’t be surprised if Trump somehow manages to bypass the injunction, because Trump. You are right they could drop it due to their old person mental fatigue but they could keep chasing because this is a deeply petty and childish administration
On the subject of AI and the war in Iran, it feels pretty likely to me that the DoD will explode Anthropic with criminal/legal charges in August like they threatened to (unless Dario steps down), which will definitely be ugly
One of the solutions proposed — I am not kidding — is “writing scripts to automate repetitive tasks.” It’s really funny imagining a software engineer being like “woah … like automating the boring stuff, you might say?”
If I'm getting this right, they're going to cut the cost of automating everything....by automating more things?
"Reviewing my interview transcripts one night, I discover I’d left my recorder running when I excused myself to use the bathroom at Anthropic. On the tape, Kyle Fish, the AI researcher, and Danielle Ghiglieri, my tattooed guide, are laughing about some visitors to their headquarters the day before, what sounds like a documentary or TV crew.
“I sit right next to Trenton,” Fish says. “I went back and told him, ‘Dude, you really did something to those guys with your sunscreen stuff yesterday.’ He thought it was hilarious.”
They’re both cracking up.
Ghiglieri says Fish, too, had convincingly come off as a “different species of human,” adding: “They were very enamored with you.”
They’re inclined to cooperate with whatever project these people proposed, she says, and make everybody a star. I hadn’t heard Trenton’s sunscreen spiel yet. Only later, over lunch, would he tell me that he stopped protecting himself against skin cancer because AI was going to end the world in five years.
Crazy to me how people can so confidently predict AI doomsday, and then just keep working at an AI company
I wonder if one of the reasons Pete Hegseth is going so hard after Anthropic is that he and other idiots in the Pentagon unironically believes shit like AI 2027 and so wants to soft nationalize the frontier companies so to control the coming AGI.
The whole argument can just be countered with "if the Pentagon believes Claude is sentient and a danger to the military, then why make a deal with OpenAI to use ChatGPT, another LLM similar to Claude? Wouldn't that also be a danger of becoming sentient? and why are Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump planning to force Anthropic to comply after 6 months if they believe Claude shouldn't be in the military?? Why did you ask Anthropic to let you use Claude for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons if you believed it was sentient and a danger??"
It just reeks of bullshit. "uhm actually we made Anthropic a supply chain risk because Claude is actually very dangerous and not because we're doing banana republic shit to anyone who disagrees with us. we are a very responsible and safe government. please dont impeach trump."
So there’s a chance that Anthropic won’t be able to go after anyone with the Claude codebase because copyright laws?
