Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote in a memo to staff that he will draw the same red lines that sparked a high-stakes fight between rival Anthropic and the Pentagon: no AI for mass surveillance or autonomous lethal weapons.

That has aged poorly, now that Altman erased those red lines in order to get some more Pentagon funding.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago

That was about 12 hours before they reached an agreement with the Pentagon.

Oh, I very much doubt that. They're counting on the federal goverment as a "backstop" to their over extended debts when the bill comes due (several orders of magnitude over extended, mind you. More than a trillion over extended.). They're gonna play mouth service for the public, but give Bitch Baby Trump whatever it takes to keep that backstop secured and reep all the benefits of their beings unrealistic gamble and none of the financial consequences.

Lol until they offer him money. This guy has no principles.

[–] imrighthere@lemmy.ca 33 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

More than likely they already have the money and this is the theater designed to get everyone to stand down.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah most likely Sam Altman just spun up a side company and copied over the entire model weights and sold it to the government in either a singular purchase/acquisition or license and then can say “well they’re not using OpenAI APIs”

I mean no, the article is literally saying that he claims the DoW agreed to all the same terms that Anthropic laid out. Which if true, would objectively not be selling out. But yes, something isn't adding up.

Doesn't Hegseth want to make LLM to control military equipment.

I would imagine this would fail spectacularly and maybe it would be trigger that would pop the AI bubble. LLM doesn't think.

He'd sell his own granny for a 0.1% bump in market share.

“Grandma wishes she owned stock in us!”

Governments wanting an AI powered police state was always the obvious outcome. Does Plantir not have AI tools?

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

And now they bombed Iran

[–] vapeloki@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

They have, but no LLM as far as I am aware of.

[–] cenzorrll@piefed.ca 7 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

... So, the robots won't tell you how sorry they are before they shoot you? They'll just like, do it? Unacceptable.

[–] vapeloki@lemmy.world 0 points 17 hours ago

No, they won't, but they may shoot you.

But their models can not be used as flexible as an LLM, they are purpose made

Sam “me too” Altman over here

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world -5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Luci@lemmy.ca 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Wrong “me too” you dingus

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Drunk + stoned does not help a Scandinavian 🤣.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Careful you might make a berserker potion and wake up in Britain covered in blood an shirtless.

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

I've only done that once. I learn from my mistakes.

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

See everyone, the tech oligarchs totally will save us!

[–] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

Yeah right. This whore is looking for a reason to spread his legs.

[–] twinnie@feddit.uk 5 points 18 hours ago

The lines being extra bendy.

[–] voidsignal@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

The Chinese models are open weights. DoD can just use those. Right?
