A.I. News Pentagon threatens to make Anthropic a pariah if it refuses to drop AI guardrails

It's so brain dead the CEO should be sacked or resign for being peace-nick lefty. Once they start losing contracts there will be pressure from major shareholders and investors.

Also if they want to eventually do a IPO in the USA getting banned by USA government will not help the share price. Push for regulation not enforce dumb stupidity.
Anthropic is an LLC, there are no shares or shareholders.

Also, the ban doesn’t affect in any way their filings for IPO, they have been removed from the government systems.

Trampoline now has much bigger problems, amid E-files linkage, war with 1/3 of the world and rapidly declining economy, than dealing with Anthropic.

This practice of dusty, nearly ancient far right clowns (with very left understandings of what’s fun in their free time), with receding hairlines, dementia and smelly nappies (even though I am right oriented myself), waving fingers and believing they can control the whole world, whilst enriching themselves and damaging everything they touch should be suspended.

High morals and authentic values, nationalism and patriotism in front of the public, but once the door lock clicks, it all disappears in thin air. It is a behaviour that has been demonstrated by far right leaders times and times again—from the Pro-Brexit nationalist James Dyson that moved his company to Singapore to avoid tax, to a prime minister that locked everyone down whilst having crack-cocaine in the British parliament, to Trampoline.

The far right is just as rotten as the left.

The sooner people realise that and take corrective actions as to who they vote for, the better.

Anthropic is the developer and sole owner of these models.
In a democratic country, which the pounding-chest-president claims to be running, you shouldn’t have a visibly mentally unstable patient escaped from the madhouse 15 days ago pointing fingers, telling you how to run your business.

Wasn’t this the entire idea of capitalism in the first place???

Once this gets accepted and tolerated, US will be the next Russia and China.

It’s amazing how Microsoft was criticised for opening up the Bitlocker encryption to the authorities(not standing their ground), whilst Anthropic is being criticised for actually standing their ground and defending their values, be it left or right.

Representative government, voting, and democracy cannot provide all things to all people. Society itself, no matter the form, cannot be all things to all people. No matter the form of democratic government, the society will always favor some over everybody else. Some interests will be served, while most others are ignored. Democratic societies serve "The People" minimally.

The U.S. government system is working as it was designed and intended to work - just like all other democracies.

Democracy as a form of government was never designed to give everybody what they want. Not any democracy anywhere on the planet can do that, by design.

Many people treat democracy like a vending machine: you put in a vote and out comes exactly what you ordered. The system was never built for individual satisfaction; it was built for collective stability. However, In a democracy, "the people" is a massive, contradictory mass. This means that government, and therefore the society, will never be acceptable or satisfactory to most people.

Because the democratic system promises that everyone has a voice, individuals feel entitled to a specific outcome. When that outcome doesn't match their desires, they feel the system has "failed," rather than acknowledging that it simply prioritized a different group's input.

Ballots are essentially "paper stones." They are a way to measure the strength of competing factions without resorting to physical combat. The intent was legitimacy, not unanimity. Under democracy, people have to accept a result they actually hate.

"Democracy is the art of running the circus from the monkey cage."

The assertion that American voters have genuine choices overlooks the systemic constraints of the electoral process. Far from offering true alternatives, the system frequently reduces voting to a calculation of the 'lesser evil.' Driven by overwhelming financial interests, the political landscape is heavily restricted, rendering the concept of authentic voter choice largely illusory.

Ralph Nader said the same thing circa 2000. (Ross Perot 1992) (& yet I can still tell the difference between Rep & Dem administration)...

Spotting a difference between a Democratic and Republican administration doesn't disprove my point. Choosing the 'lesser of two evils' still means you're restricted to the evils they pre-select for you. They might steer slightly differently, but both wings belong to the same bird, and it's flying in the exact direction the donors want. The illusion of choice is that both operate within a closed, cash-driven framework.
 
I'm a agnostic and don't support either right or left, I'm a free agent and choose #1 what's in my best interest #2 what's in societies best interest.

There are some things I agree with the right on and then some on the left. Neither side is always right and you should always question, debate and argue every fact.

@Divergent is right there is a illusion of choice, both sides are corrupt and rotten to the core but isn't that what democracy is all about choice? Or the illusion of choice?
