Anthropic refused to create a military targeting system that takes the "man out of the loop", which infuriated Hegseth, who is a warmonger's
Warmonger. The Israel Defense Force used AI for targeting in Gaza -
One reservist said he would pick up the ringing phone and was given 20 seconds to recommend or not recommend a target, and was under intense pressure to approve every nomination by his chain of command, hence the complete destruction of all 35 hospitals in Gaza, all the water plants, factories, apartment buildings, fishing fleet, and some probably 100,000 Gaza's, most of whom had little to do with Hamas. It was a war of extermination, not reprisal, and the captives were sacrificed in order to provide cover for a war continued long past viable combat operations. Hegseth was completely taken with the total war model. Drones for now are controlled by a human, but loitering autonomous ones will killl Muslims and presumably Greenlanders without qualms or ever having to take a break. It is "1984's" "perpetual War for Perpetual Peace." Autonomous drones can patrol the Caribbean and kill people at sea or on land, creating a permanent aerial threat to everybody Hegseth hates, and a perfect assassination weapons for domestic use.
Anthropic had a problem with this version of Fred Saberhagen's "Beserker" sci-fi machines, so the contract was dumped as a lesson to others. Our military is being turned into a Mafia outfit, a giant extortion machine with nuclear weapons that will be autonomous. How's that for a dystopian future?
This is right, Curt. We're seeing revenge exacted upon the one frontier lab that is at least trying to do the right thing. None of this bodes well for the future of warfare or the human race. Thanks for taking the time to read and respond. I appreciate your perspective on this.
Well said. It is concerning that our government is working against us at every turn, even our military, but we are also dodging the billionaires, corporations, AI, Epstein types, Elon’s, the media (almost completely owned by billionaires) and the foreign countries we have now angered by threats and bombing.
There’s one thing they all have in common, addiction to power and money and to self preservation. None of them want to go to prison and they’re all compromised. To feel secure, they need to own everything and everyone. In effect, they started with corporate raiding, and now they own just about everything (in every sector of the markets, approximately four companies under various names own 85% of the market ) so they’ve moved onto raiding everything else, including your data and your bank accounts. The addiction is real. Have you seen the extent that addicts will go to when they need to feed their addiction of choice. Have you seen January 6th? And they are using our tax dollars (because they don’t pay taxes) to fund this mission.
Look if it’s about making money for himself or his friends Trump will do anything. Since he puts money above people and not the other way around he is not fit to lead people… proof is he is leading people to the poor house while he enriches himself.
Outstanding work, Lawrence! The entire AI premise has been a raging bull created and fed by The Valley, The Street, and the 1%. The spin of its alleged “value” to society has been a falsehood of grandiose, which blew wide open with that Friday’s memo of understanding.
Trump Administration Officials seek to defend themselves on grounds that they are conducting scientific study on the effects of unlimited power on patients with dementia and/or Alzheimer’s!
Michael, you literally made me do a spit take on my keyboard with that one. Yes, they are conducting that experiment on all of us, and we all seem to be the losers!
Hey Laurie, I think the best and only way we can do this is to fight for AI regulation and to make sure you have hard copies of all of your assets, and that you are as unexposed to the AI bubble as possible. Make sure you have printed copies of everything that's important: your car title, your house title, and everything you could possibly need to prove ownership.
If this article is is as important as it seems, you need someone to condense it into understandable English. Too many references to things people are not familiar with too much jargon, the context is vague in the message is may beginning across to a few people, but I I don’t believe most people can follow this, though. It may be relevant and accurate. Seems like you’re so much in the weeds that you’re talking to a few people coherently. I have an extensive computer background and graduate degrees and a political background and yet the sentences don’t hang together, though a vague concept comes through that seems important, but not yet convincing or coherent enough, nor focused. Hopefully the feedback will help you speak to more than a few people, so may buy it without knowing the details or context, but I like to know what I’m hearing and talking about.
Jaye, thanks for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear you found it hard to follow. Can you provide me with an example of a concept that you feel needs further illumination? I'd be happy to explain it to you. I looked at your profile for examples of your writing to help me frame my response, but alas, you don't have any.
I wish I could be more specific, but I am not familiar with all the groups you’re referring to. Your sentences don’t lead from one to another from my perspective. Unfortunately, all I clearly got from the article is that you believe you have lots of proof that somebody stopped Anthropic in its tracks and this is somehow related to five global intelligence type companies that are hidden treasures that I’ve never heard of. Someone sent Anthropic a letter that was very short and somehow stop them from functioning at all. Anthropic was trying to use its AI power to illuminate the lies and power grabs and they were somehow stopped in a sentence or half a sentence and it was a message to any other company that wants to spread the truth instead of lies.. The actual attack was not on Anthropic itself, but on its software, but it didn’t stop its software it stopped the owner. OK so that’s all I’ve got, but I don’t see the actual connections the actual companies, the proof how you’re actually connecting them etc. the fact that I can’t tell you what I don’t know. Suggest how much I didn’t get from what you wrote. I haven’t Harvard and an MIT graduate degree and can’t follow you, so I think you may be losing many people. It’s not that I wouldn’t believe this is happening. It’s just that I can’t follow your logic, your references and your arguments.
Read it again. Pretty clear to me, a retired social worker. Anthropic would not play ball with our government and asked for AI regulations due to its inherent dangers. They were blackballed and shut down due to grievance, and demonized immigrants who worked on their AI. No concern for people being affected by AI… losing jobs etc… is being addressed or spoken about by the administration. They have made clear if you speak up you can be shut down. Also so many are working on AI globally and there is nothing being done to protect us. Similar to social media IMO although more dangerous. The company that spoke up got penalized. We need to insist on regulation is the message due to the dangers of AI that is unregulated. Also now we see that an AI company can be squashed out of markets as they did with anthropic. @Lawrence Winnerman did I get this right?
Golly, Jaye, that's terrible. I must really be failing as a writer if, based on your response and ad hoc analysis, you seem to be able to understand the words, but lack the ability, as a Harvard and MIT graduate, to make any connection to concepts that are currently in the news, the topic of many other articles and conversations, and easily researchable on the internet. I promise, I am taking your well-constructed and cogent feedback to heart, and will strive to the utmost of my ability to be more coherent in my future efforts.
Lisa, That is very clear. That is what I already knew before. I read this long article. I thought the point that there was something more to it. I thought there were more global agencies involved. I thought this article was trying to make more connections. It certainly longer than your statement which has been covered around the Internet for weeks. I assumed this long article was trying to add something more depth and breadth and explain more connections and relevance and concerns. I still get that impression. I thought it was starting from what you just described and bringing it somewhere else.

This is alarming! How do we, citizens trying to pay the bills, protect our assets?
