The implications of the US's new AI policy are clear, turn your LLM into MechaHitler or lose govt contracts. Anthropic, Google, X, and OpenAI all recently "won" $200m DoD contracts. And I'm pretty sure Meta isn't taking a stand anytime soon, given that they refused to sign the EU's new AI agreement.

This article is mostly generic AI Arms Race propaganda. However, I thought this was a particularly funny gem. "Their bombs are bad and for killing people but our bombs are good and save lives."

What does OpenAI and Sam Altman's "Gentle Singularity" look like in practice? Great rundown from @bcmerchant.bsky.social:
• Fund raising from Saudi Arabia and UAE
• Major partnerships with US military
• Working with fossil fuel companies to hyperscale AI www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/this-is-th...

This is the gentle singularity?
Sam Altman says the AI utopia is already here — in a manifesto aimed at raising money from the Saudis. On the real vs imagined manifestations of modern AI.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Remember: It’s always more important to identify actors from their previous roles than it is to watch the current movie on your screen.
