They're ghostly lol
Fade away when you're not nearby.
Didn't people complain about the lack of redactions for victims, even though it has now been confirmed, by those who viewed the unredacted files, that many of those redacted victims were trafficking minors and were authors of some of the questionable emails?
Yet when they take them down temporarily to review redactions, people are mad about that too?
People have all the documents backed up already. If they fail to restore any of them, then we'll know. 🤷♂️
Really? Accidental over-disclosure or improper redaction of legal documents only happens in countries "run by tax collecting pedophiles, rapists and war hawks"?
Most of it is duplicative, most likely. But they might as well publish them at this point.
They're the biggest and most used, and marginally most advanced. Admittedly, Google, Anthropic, and xAI are never really far behind, and sometimes even temporarily get ahead (in model performance). But things are moving fast enough for that to be important. The international AI arms race is very important to the government. They want to make sure the world uses AI (which ingests the world's data) from American companies instead of Chinese.
They've been increasingly losing money. This is mostly because they were growing at a ridiculous rate over the past 3 years. Losing $14 billion is not unexpected. But it's also not detrimental. Tech companies like this are famous for growing with losses. All it takes is for OpenAI to go public and it'll become another Tesla, consistently overvalued.
Why wouldn't another administration bail out the biggest AI company in the world headquartered in the US? They're literally more important right now than Lockheed, GM, JP Morgan and others they bail out. Trump is probably the only one that would MAYBE consider an alternative like xAI.
Not cancelled. But they may have been flagged internally, I don't know.
We weren't violating their terms, only violating their built in model guidelines. American models are usually very sensitive. They'd rather err on the side of blocking content than risk allowing questionable content that is lawful.
But even adjusting prompts, it didn't yield reliable results. So we have to use uncensored open weights models for many things. It's not SOTA, but it's better than nothing.

Government can certainly do illegal things. But why ever enter into a contract with ANY organization or business if you're concerned that they can violate the terms or violate the law?

Generally not.

Even if they aren't, Anthropic started business with them months ago. Backing out now for this reason would be a pretense.
Wait. You still trust human judgment that much?
My company has facilitated the filings of hundreds of litigants representing themselves who cannot afford lawyers, helped swamped public defenders with more cases than they could ever hope to defend without just making plea deals.
Meanwhile you probably sit around complaining about prison industrial complex and corrupt justice system. Doing nothing. Taking a moral high ground while being utterly worthless.
Platitudes aren't helping anyone.
This honestly strikes me as a story people don't understand. Mass surveillance is not lawful and the government thus agreed not to do that. However, they still needed the guardrails removed. People interpret this as them wanting mass surveillance, but that's not necessarily true.
I work for a company that uses AI for legal work, processing and analyzing court cases, discovery documents, etc. We had problems with AI models like Gemini and GPT refusing to do what we needed because of guardrails against violence and abuse of minors. It refused to discuss and analyze cases that involved murders described in detail, or cases involving child molestation, etc. We weren't using it for unlawful purposes, very much the opposite.
I feel like if people knew that we, like the DoD, had to use uncensored models that allowed such things, people would complain "Wow, you guys are trying to remove guardrails for child expoitation and violence! How terrible!"
Is it so shocking that a military needs their AI to work with such things even if they're not implementing it? They cannot afford to have AI in critical moments be like "sorry, my guidelines say I can't help with this."
This seems like the time Trump advised against pregnant women against using Tylenol. So people started buying and using it in protest. This is yet another reaction to Trump punishing them, but people are pretending Anthropic is making a stand for the people and OpenAI is somehow not. It's not that simple. Though now Anthropic is eating it up, especially after this last week when they started pissing on the entire tech community that started hating on them.
Even when I agree with Andrew Wilson, he's such an asshole when making his point that it makes me want to disagree. It's like that with a lot of online debaters on the left too. They're not concerned with political activism or convincing anyone, just want some zingers to make their opponent look bad. One step away from a "yo mama" battle.
