THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military.

The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution. Their selfishness is putting AMERICAN LIVES at risk, our Troops in danger, and our National Security in JEOPARDY.

Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology. We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again! There will be a Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic’s products, at various levels. Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow.

WE will decide the fate of our Country — NOT some out-of-control, Radical Left AI company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

    You have to realize, what exactly Anthropic refused: To extend the current contract to two things:

    • Autonomous Weapons (AI deciding on firing weapons to kill humans)
    • AI-powered mass surveillance of american citizens

    refusing those two things makes it to be the only AI company that is ““radical left””. Now Google, OpenAI or Grok will do what Anthropic has done already, plus mass surveillance plus AI-killcommands

        Yeah. A good thick slice of Anarchism might be what we need to reset things.

        That is Anarchism, with capital “A”, the anti-authority ideology.

          wanton violence doesn’t really work, this has been tried before. you need precise and well thought out violence. last i bothered to check, something like 70-80% of the $ behind far-right america comes from like <20 people (<100 if you extrapolate that out to the world).

            Where did they mention wanton violence? That’s not what anarchism is, and that’s also not what’s portrayed in V for Vendetta.

                You should give it another viewing. There’s violence, but it’s not just random murder for its own sake like in The Purge. The protagonist carries out a series of targeted assassinations against people who were involved in detaining and experimenting on him in a concentration camp, and blows up a couple of empty buildings at the beginning and end of the movie in a symbolic act of defiance against a fascist regime. There’s a bit towards the end where he ships a bunch of guy fawkes masks to everyone and there’s some robbing and looting, but no killing until a secret police guy shoots an unarmed child in the street and some people jump him. The plot overall is about people rising up against and toppling a fascist regime, which is pretty relevant to current events.

    The absurdity to claim that Anthropic is strong-arming the DoD and forcing them to do anything when just the other day it was reported that the DoD was threatening this exact action if Anthropic didn’t comply with their demands is laughable.

    It feels like a pretty low bar to clear to tell this orange fuck to piss off, but at least one of the AI companies has a spine.

    Anthropic yesterday:

    Should the Department choose to offboard Anthropic, we will work to enable a smooth transition to another provider, avoiding any disruption to ongoing military planning, operations, or other critical missions. Our models will be available on the expansive terms we have proposed for as long as required. -Dario’s Post

      Nah. He just has a very high willingness to lie or misrepresent anything. Like, no regard for reputation or consistency or anything. He’ll make entirely-contradictory statements depending upon occasion. If he thinks that it will buy the slightest iota of political oomph to say that Anthropic is violating the Constitution, he’ll do so, even if he doesn’t have the slightest grounds to make that statement.

    He is like a spoiled child, just like his shitstain cabinet. I wish there were some way we could identify those who voted for him in 2016, 2020, or 2024 and tattoo an orange T on their foreheads so they could never go anywhere again without ridicule and harassment.

      Make them exclusively use the Trump phone, I’m sure that will be enough punishment.
