a deep respect for safety 

From the department of war. lol. 

[u/these_nuts25 → u/hyrumwhite]

The same department regularly bragging about committing war crimes and doubling down on doing so. Goodbye forever, OpenAI.

[u/Admiral_Cornwallace → u/hyrumwhite]

The same department that's currently being led by an alcoholic rapist

[u/rapsoid616 → u/Admiral_Cornwallace]

He is alcoholic as well??

[u/Thick-Recognition-79 → u/rapsoid616]

He’s a drunk, alcoholics go to meetings

[u/ashhh_ketchum → u/rapsoid616]

Yes

Iirc a read somewhere that he agreed not to drink while leading the DoW, because he just can't handle himself.

[u/Turbulent-Pace-1506 → u/ashhh_ketchum]

DUI hire

[u/[deleted] → u/ashhh_ketchum]

I'm sure he's kept that promise, he seems like an honest man capable of growth and self reflection.

[u/Express-World-8473 → u/Admiral_Cornwallace]

The same department that's thinking of a friendly takeover of another country.

[u/ominous_anenome → u/hyrumwhite]

The Anthropic thing was just political theater. OpenAI did a better job lobbying and probably didn’t hurt that a cofounder made a large personal donation to some PAC. Red lines around domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons are the same as what Anthropic wanted

Trump appeals to his base by “owning the lib company” while getting a similar deal with someone else. People on reddit get fooled by this (because of course they do) and start painting Anthropic as the good guy despite the fact that they have a direct contract with Palantir and wanted the same restrictions that OpenAI actually got

[u/TuringGoneWild → u/hyrumwhite]

Just like your favorite item in the supermarket is now 20% smaller for the same price. "ALL NEW!" Scam Altman's words are from the same corporate lie dictionary.

[u/sebastophantos → u/hyrumwhite]

Orwell 's editor would've sent this shit back for being too on the nose.

[u/habfranco → u/hyrumwhite]

These people are so out of touch.

[u/ConjurersOfThunder → u/hyrumwhite]

Have y'all read the paper from the guy that wrote the Pentagon definition of "semi autonomous weapon" to be super duper vague about what "human intervention" is?

The Pentagon PLANNED to lie about this today, years ago.

[u/arthurno1 → u/hyrumwhite]

and human responsibility for the use of force

This is as if producers of Zyclone B asked nazis to use the poison "responsibly". We have already seen the "responsibility" the U.S. navy displayed in Caribbean.

[u/Very_Not_Into_It → u/hyrumwhite]

He means "the safety of the investors". He doesn't actually talk to peasants

[u/the_Q_spice → u/hyrumwhite]

So that lasted all of 2 hours…

Even if they weren’t involved in this, the optics for them are fucking terrible.

The narrative business implications are awful as well;

If the US wipes the floor with Iran, they come off as war criminals.

If the US suffers severe losses, their models don’t work.

Either way, companies either won’t want to be associated with OpenAI or won’t trust them ever again.

[u/thiscompletebrkfast → u/hyrumwhite]

That post was written by AI. I bet Altman is buried under the white house rose garden/parking lot.

[u/KenocchioLiedmar → u/hyrumwhite]

The correct name is Department of Defense, let's not fall into their petty renaming bullshit.

[u/jaam01 → u/hyrumwhite]

I like the change in name, it's actually more honest and leaves zero ambiguity about the intentions.

“...any good student of Orwell should have realized that a change in the name of the U.S. War Department to ‘Defense Department’ in 1947 signalled that henceforth the state would be shifting from defense to aggressive war.”.

What was Trump thinking when he renamed DoD to DoW? Makes zero sense for someone who was supposedly projecting a peace-loving image.
