Comment on The Pentagon’s Claude Use in Iran Is a Reminder that Anthropic Never Objected to Military Use
Iconoclast@feddit.uk 1 day agoHere’s the full quote including the parts you accidently left out.
Even fully autonomous weapons (those that take humans out of the loop entirely and automate selecting and engaging targets) may prove critical for our national defense. But today, frontier AI systems are simply not reliable enough to power fully autonomous weapons. We will not knowingly provide a product that puts America’s warfighters and civilians at risk. We have offered to work directly with the Department of War on R&D to improve the reliability of these systems, but they have not accepted this offer.

You said Anthropic didn’t want to develop autonomous weapons. Anthropic contradicts you. They do want to develop them.
Can you acknowledge this fact?

You have a point, but perhaps try a softer tone next time. I think that would help your argument.

They’re building tools to <cull people and children> from half way across the world and you’re worried about the tone?

It’s not a very solid point. They said they may become necessary at some point, but right now they’re irresponsible.
They’re not ruling it out in the future, but their focus is on today’s problem.

Serinus, did you see the part where Anthropic wants to develop them with the US military?
