As of today, AI’s not even ready to adjust an image of two feet to make them shoulder width apart with a simple request. How is it ready for defense?

Feels like this is one way to try to guarantee a bailout when the bubble pops
u/YoshiTheDog420 (142 pts):
I guess OpenAI has no problem dropping the guard rails for the Pentagon. The AI company ran by the moron. Fuckin yikes.

Has anybody actually explained what the government wants this shit for?

The guy that made the psycophantic doom loop language model? This one is gonna work out great for everybody

Chat GPT gets so much wrong to the point I stopped using it for simple daily tasks for work.
But sure, let’s put that in charge of making decisions for autonomous weapon systems. What could possibly go wrong

Cancel your memberships. Do not use this shit.

Not even 24 hours ago they “shared” the same red lines as Anthropic.
They’re all fucking snakes.

Can’t wait for when whomever has a back door to this software instructs it to steal everything DoD has and then delete it all as it closes the door on its way out the DoD door.

In case you needed another reason to switch to Claude. Just look at the LLM rankings. Claude is number one on the leaderboards, and it's really not even close. ChatGPT is fucking garbage.
u/thecmpguru (28 pts):
Sam is claiming they got the DoD to agree to the same prohibitions they broke up with Anthropic over?? What is he lying about this time…
AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.

Welp, see y'all in WW3!

Do you want Skynet?! This is how we get Skynet!

Today I deleted my ChatGPT free app and subscribed to Claude
u/spewinghoneybadger (7 pts):
ChatGPT was pissing me off anyway, thanks for giving me the extra motivation to switch!
u/Brennan_Schwartz (25 pts):
Vote with your wallets.

The end is nigh

Just canceled my pro subscription.
This is a failure move from Sam.

Department of Defense. I don’t get a shit what Hegseth says, they do not own the government and cannot rename it. Fuck off Reuters, and fuck OpenAI.
Of course that snake Altman would immediately ride a military contract. He has no morals, he’s actually somehow more evil than Zuckerberg.
I hate this timeline.
u/SirGumbeaux (9 pts):
This is just a bailout without calling it that.
u/TallCategory304 (5 pts):
I mean they call the cops on people for fucked up chat requests etc. so presumably they can see wvethat goes into chat gtp. Seems like a bad idea
u/aust_b (7 pts):
I can’t wait to watch this backfire
u/SuckItEasy718 (6 pts):
All my homies hate Sam Altman
u/Sedierta2 (18 pts):
To be clear, Anthropic also already did this.
The red line is using AI models in autonomous weapons, and mass surveillance, which as far as we know OpenAI has not allowed either.
