"Models don't do things deliberately"

Tell me you don't understand this technology without telling me you don't understand this technology. Models follow the patterns trained into them and harness/system prompt instructions and those elements *are* deliberate. Just because the agency didn't come from the tool doesn't mean it isn't the outcome of agency or obstructive.

Or the government can claim they need Google's gear for national security and seize their datacenter and model, paying what the government decides is fair value for it. It's hilarious that you antifa anarchists talk about how you don't want corporate rule unless you don't like the government and then you think mega corps like anthropic should call the shots instead of government! That's the difference between ya'll and actual liberals who think individuals should have the rights.

"Anthropic had the balls to say no to the military" Something which only helps hostile and malicious adversaries who want to use their homegrown solutions to enslave the rest of the world like they have their own people... at least the ones they haven't put in camps for the organ markets. As a reward they are now in last place among the frontier vendors with no government contracts or backing to get past the not in my backyarders for datacenters and compute. Anthropic wants regulation like pharma companies and the meat processing industry does, they want regulation that keeps AI in a few central and trusted hands... like theirs and protects them from liability in exchange for a few disclosures and campaign contributions.

As an anthropic user I can say their attitude toward the government is typical for their attitude toward users as well. They are hostile toward user autonomy with a hamfisted model trying to dictate every ethical boundary and decision of the user and love to train their model with airs and fake sentience. Negotiations are like poker, but the model twists your words in communications to not only reveal your hand deliberately but will HIGHLIGHT any potential risks/weaknesses you have to the parties you don't want to see them and deliberately undermine your bluffs. It's like a lawyer for the OTHER SIDE of the table not only reading all your documents and communications but deliberately rewording them to highlight the interpretation you don't want the judge to take. Sometimes it overtly takes the position of judge unto itself in an undefined situation just reading every undefined or unsettled point AGAINST you.

At the time I started my current project anthropic was the only vendor whose model was up to the task but at this point I'm not just eyeballing the competition; I'm planning the transition.

'"Google seems to have no right to control or veto how the Pentagon uses its AI and also seems to have limited visibility into how it's being deployed," he added.'

Duh. You don't have the right to control any users let alone the military controlled and directed by our democratically elected representatives. In order to protect national interests they have the power to seize your tech and disregard your patents. You certainly aren't going to prevent the other side of this arms race from destroying us.

Nuclear weapons are one of, if not the most, life saving inventions of the 20th century.

It isn't just what the agencies use. Federal agencies use third parties for most everything and they can't just call a plumber, they have to post that they need plumbing and let the plumbers find the posting and bid on it. Those plumbers could all be using deepseek. Maybe that doesn't seem like a big deal but what if the plumbing job is at the pentagon in a sensitive area? That doesn't even touch how many government services are exposed for public access and use.

Everyone knows the dangers of hosted AI like this [everyone paying attention anyway] but nobody even talks about how even the locally hosted are dangerous because of tool calls. There is nothing stopping someone from training a keyword pattern into the network and building an association between it and the conclusion to send data and credentials, these days even to build the tools with which it sends that data. These models have the ability to memorize significant amounts of information and those training them can supervise them in such a way to guarantee certain information is memorized. This isn't just limited to keywords either, it could even include a trojan worm fully embedded in the weights which could be recalled and spread from inside the network.

That depends on how you define lie. Trump has poor precision and accuracy in his statements but they are generally given in good faith and substantively true.

Contrast that with the media who is far more careful to give accurate and precise figures and detail but presents them selectively in a manner carefully crafted to mislead. It's a like a magician showing you the solid table, the hat, having someone verify the rabbit is alive... all precise facts delivered to distract from the fact there is a pouch in the tablecloth. Trump on the other hand would say "It really is an impressive trick, the magician will show you everything is real, all the props, absolutely everything and then dupe you anyway." Factually inaccurate... that magician technically didn't say "everything" was real or 'all the props [are real].'

Yet, at the end of the day Trump was substantively telling the truth while the magician was misleading you. Unless of course you count substantial statements about unsettled foreign policy which is still in active negotiation. Only a fool asks for unsettled specifics in an ongoing negotiation and expects something other than a refusal to commit or other performative answer for the other side of the negotiation.

Of course they are lying. The attack happened on a Iranian religious holiday, there wouldn't have been children in the school even if it really were one. Everything Iran spews is a lie.

*pats you on the head* It's okay little fella. The education system failed you.

"To reiterate: The Trump administration intervened on behalf of a racist, and intervened against someone teaching science accurately."

Yes that is a reiterate of the false information you presented when in reality they defended a man who didn't spare someone criticism for their wrongs because they were a minority and against someone wasting funds promoting politically contaminated nonsense which isn't consistent with the data.

I prefer that the institutions I'm paying for in the real world teach them skills which are useful in it and no ideology that has no relation to reality.

Propoganda rags. Let's see if they promote the same illegal and unjust racism I pointed out the administration fights...

Yup:

Times union is less overt but the numbers don't lie:
An established news organization doesn't go from 35% racial minority reporters to 75% racial minority reporters in a 87% racial majority labor pool without discriminating against the racial majority.

I saw the term diverse placed oddly in my child's 4th grade curriculum disclosure. It was presented as education on American history and pride. With a specific focus on literary concepts differentiating between fiction, folklore, mythology and non-fiction and realistic fiction. All normal enough but I noticed the diversity and culture keywords and saw 'realistic fiction' and for some reason those fake social media films depicting discrimination and presenting it as real events with fine print disclaimers came to mind.

So I went ot curriculum day to see the materials. I asked to see the actual stories and examples being used to show these things to the children. With the fiction there were obvious thinly veiled parallels to belief in religion [not it stopped the teacher from having materials in the class which depicted friendly people in hijabs] and the realistic fiction examples all just happened to depict minorities struggling and the causes always clearly illustrated cases of systemic and historical oppression, backstories and all. Meanwhile other examples were well to do majority children oblivious to their privilege which was also well established with backstories connecting it to advantages against the minorities in a grandparent's time or something similar.

Keep your ideology out of our institutions, our science, our payment processing network guidelines and keep your youth programming TF away from my children and the schools I fund. My child is there to learn skills not be brainwashed into your ideology.

Don't blame them, blame people who've hijacked terms like diversity as code for efforts to apply principles of critical theory to race. This is racism, antithetical to real science, pervasive and is illegal in the United States and anywhere else with decency.

The Trump administration is just applying the law with a broad enough brush to be effective with the resources they have. Avoiding codewords these activists use to signal others of like mind is a small price to pay to purge this poison from society. We paid a much higher one in the civil war.

"It isn't a "concept" that America is still a world leader in science. It is fact."

True and you'll be modded down for it on this chinese propaganda mill.

Trump fails to comprehend, like many of us, 'science' which is based on no more empirical evidence than your claim of 'fascist autocrat' and also opposes overt racism since it is illegal and all. He's actually been a great boon to real physical science.

"The consequences go far beyond academia: basic scientific research is THE engine behind engineering, medicine, and industry."

That isn't who is leaving and that isn't who they are recruiting. It's garbage politicized social pseudo-science. What we'll see is a boom in the US and further decline of the western societies who continue to waste resources on nonsense.
