Yeah, it never made sense when Sam immediately said that they had the same constraints yet de DoW immediately agreed with that.
From what I can see, OpenAI’s terms basically say “need to comply with the law”, which provides them with plenty of wiggle room with executive orders and whatnot.
I think they said they will comply with the law and Pentagon policies.
And:
1. there is no law currently prohibiting autonomous weapons platforms
2. the Pentagon can create policies overnight allowing all kinds of stuff
So yeah, OpenAI is going to make a lot of money from actually doing what the military asks from them.
Secret FISA court decisions are also law, the public just can’t see or challenge them. So we really have no idea what is considered lawful.
If the contract says “all lawful use” it’s a blank check to the state.
