Anthropic literally already works with companies like Palantir and others weaponizing their AI. Those just aren't quite as well known by the general public.

They have no values that align with humans prospering.

Source on this? Does anthropic work with them or do they simply use the normal product offering anthropic provides? Because the thing with the DoD was specific RnD for DoD purposes.

If someone just uses normal claude to make killer robots, i dont think thats on anthropic, that on the legal and regulatory system to step in and stop that

It literally takes a 2 second Google search of just the two terms Palantir and anthropic to find sources for this and is fairly well known.

Any company of Palantir size is not just gonna have people using personal subscriptions to use Claude on mission critical software or it's development.

Both companies don't mind weaponization. The difference is whether it should only he domestic. Both are ok with foreigners being bombed.

That aligns with average human values

Do you have a citation for that?

Because the Anthropic's presentation of their position doesn't have a domestic or foreign caveat to autonomous weapons. It's a categorical no.

> We support the use of AI for lawful foreign intelligence and counterintelligence missions. But using these systems for mass domestic surveillance is incompatible with democratic values.

Your link

Yes. They draw that distinction on intelligence.

I was asking about autonomous weapons.

>> Both companies don't mind weaponization. The difference is whether it should only be domestic. Both are ok with foreigners being bombed.

I hate that this discussion is about OpenAI vs. Anthropic and not OpenAI+Anthropic vs. Google.

Google put up so little of a fight against the DoW for their use of Gemini that we didn't even hear about it. They are clearly the worst of the evils here, but OpenAI is the one getting all of the negative press.
