I feel bad for the 45 year old fed who thought joining CIA would have him chasing terrorists and instead he has to do this shit

Churchless apologetics be like “you can go to literally any church to be a Christian, just not an Orthodox Church. You don’t even have to go to church. Make your own church in your brain. But whatever you do, do not go to an orthodox christian church.”

Sorry if this is woke or whatever but it is FUCKING INSANE that the DoD is explicitly, publicly trying to create an AI powered mass surveillance program of American citizens, attempting to destroy a company for refusing to comply with that directive, and *bragging about doing so*

Idk who needs to hear this (apparently all of twitter) but OpenAI did not just magically get the DoD to agree to the terms Anthropic was asking for.
Sam is blowing smoke up your ass to distract from the fact OpenAI just took the terms Anthropic considered so egregious, it warranted jeopardizing an enormous part of their business.
The DoD does not just break off a massive contract to accept the same demands 5 minutes later from someone else. Until explicitly indicated otherwise, the only logical conclusion here is that OpenAI swooped in and unscrupulously stooped lower than Anthropic was willing to go for the money.
Assume all OpenAI data will now be used for what Anthropic deemed “mass domestic surveillance of Americans”. Plan and prompt accordingly.
Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.
In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome.
AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.
We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only.
We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements.
We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Government officials have contradicted Sam’s claim, saying OpenAI will allow the DoW to use their models for “all lawful purposes”.
This could allow for uses Anthropic refused to engage in, namely mass surveillance tools and weapons systems with no human oversight.

This is my favorite genre of post:
“Hi my name is John Capitalist Regulationsarebad. Recently I’ve noticed everything in Europe is better, healthier, and I’m happier being here. However, they have more wealth distribution and a social safety net. Can someone explain this to me?”

🚨MASSIVE WHITE PILL🚨
AI JUST GENERATED NEW SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE
Google and Yale used a 27B Gemma model and it discovered a new cancer mechanism.
it predicted a drug (silmitasertib) would only make tumors visible to the immune system if low interferon was present and lab tests confirmed it
AI made a new biological hypothesis, and it was right.
how’s this not AGI?
An exciting milestone for AI in science: Our C2S-Scale 27B foundation model, built with @Yale and based on Gemma, generated a novel hypothesis about cancer cellular behavior, which scientists experimentally validated in living cells.
With more preclinical and clinical tests, this discovery may reveal a promising new pathway for developing therapies to fight cancer.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has announced that Poland will not honor the extradition request by Germany for Volodymyr Z., a Ukrainian national who is currently wanted by European authorities for his suspected involvement in a series of explosions back in 2022 that caused significant damage to both the Nord Stream 1 and 2 Gas Pipelines in the Baltic Sea, which ran between Germany and Russia. Tusk stated that it was “not in the interest of Poland” to hand over Volodymyr, adding that, “The problem of Europe, Ukraine, Lithuania, and Poland is not that Nord Stream 2 was blown up, but that it was built — Russia, with money from some European states and German and (Anglo-) Dutch companies, built Nord Stream 2 against the vital interests not only of our states, but of all of Europe, and there can be no ambiguity about that,” indirectly calling out German Chancellor Angela Merkel for her decision to authorize Nord Stream 2.
