They essentially said "we're not fans of mass surveilance of US citizens and we won't use CURRENT models to kill people autonomously" and people are saying they're taking a stand and doing the right thing? What???

I guess they're evil. Tragic.


It's not inconceivable that AI could become better than humans at targeting things. For example if it can reliably identify enemy warcraft or drones faster than people can react. I'm not saying Claude's models are suited for that but humans aren't perfect and in theory AI can be better than humans. It's not currently true and would need to be proved, but it doesn't seem unreasonable. It could well be better than something like deploying mines.


Indeed. The AI will decide who has to die and who may live.

Skynet in Terminator was scary. The AI Skynet is even scarier - and sucks, too.


We're living in a time where most tech companies are donating millions of dollars to the current leadership in exchange for favors.

In that climate this is a more of a stand than what everyone else is doing.
