Isn't the story here that the DOD is pressuring Anthropic and others to enable their AI for this specific use and for now Anthropic and others are saying no while the DOD threatens them with penalties.
We desperately need real AI safety legislation.
AI safety legislation is for the masses, not the government. Eventually they will get full AI safety by banning all general purpose computing. All apps must exist within walled garden ecosystems, heavily monitored. Running arbitrary code requires strict business licensing. Prison time for illegal computing. Part of Project 2025 playbook.
No. I'm suggesting there should be AI safety regulation to limit how AI can be used by the government. It's new tech and it pays to be cautious and restrict usage in areas like nuclear missile launch and domestic surveillance.
Regulation is also for the government. If some morons stop to follow the constitution they stop being your government.
