  • If you’re going to fact check someone in defense of a corporation, at least check the facts your self. https://www.anthropic.com/news/where-stand-department-war

    Anthropic absolutely is in bed with fascists, their objection isn’t about the use of Claude to identify targets, it is explicitly about it being able to engage targets. They are totally fine with their AI identifying a school full of children as a terrorist command base as long as a human Nazi pushes the “fire” button. They’re well aware the human Nazis aren’t checking the AI’s work and the purpose of the AI is to identify targets that lead to heavy casualties, so the human Nazis don’t have to manually scan a map and cross reference it with Intel, the point is speed and they get to say AI did it when they blow up a school.

    Anthropic is proud to be part of the genocide in Gaza, and wants to be part of future wars and genocides. “Anthropic has supported American warfighters since June 2024 and has every intention of continuing to do so.” https://www.anthropic.com/news/statement-comments-secretary-war

    And their objection is that their AI isn’t reliable enough not to engage American fighters by accident. They want fully autonomous weapons: “Fully autonomous weapons. Partially autonomous weapons, like those used today in Ukraine, are vital to the defense of democracy. Even fully autonomous weapons (those that take humans out of the loop entirely and automate selecting and engaging targets) may prove critical for our national defense. But today, frontier AI systems are simply not reliable enough to power fully autonomous weapons. We will not knowingly provide a product that puts America’s warfighters and civilians at risk.” https://www.anthropic.com/news/statement-department-of-war

    You feel free to believe it’s all about civilians, but they didn’t make a fuss or pull out of using AI for war when it repeatedly identified children as targets, they only object to allowing Claude to also engage.

    The fascists aren’t upset anthropic’s ai won’t let them identify children as targets, they’re upset it won’t also execute them.

    You’re disingenuously portraying them as refusing to choose targets, which is exactly what they wanted from this whole drama.

    They wanted confusion in the air and people to defend them, because they have their manufactured reputation to protect. They’re not a moral AI company, they just want people to think (and repeat) that they are.





  • Or you just want to keep spewing tankie shit to fit russias narrative?

    I have not once defended Russia or their war on Ukraine, I simply said Ukraine is not perfect, and that it’s really stupid to keep calling people tankies simply for criticizing it.

    So does russia also have a nazi problem then?

    Not particularly. Russia/the RSFSR is generally understood as a major victim of Nazi Germany, even though some Russians did collaborate. That is different from saying Russia had the same kind of widespread Nazi collaboration problem seen in some other occupied regions.

    Where they allied with hitler?

    The USSR was, temporarily. The Nazi-Soviet pact in 1939 was a real agreement, and it helped enable the joint destruction of Poland. But that does not erase the fact that the RSFSR was later invaded by Nazi Germany and suffered enormously, including over 119,000 Jewish victims in the occupied parts of Soviet Russia. So no, “Russians suffered under Nazism” and “the USSR collaborated with Hitler before 1941” are both true.

    Is it tankie shit to read history books? The Red Army liberated Auschwitz!

    You calling me a tankie doesn’t change facts or history. Russia invading Ukraine is bad.

    Historically, there was substantial Ukrainian collaboration with the Nazi occupation, including the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police, which Yad Vashem says assisted German forces in anti-Jewish operations and other repressive actions, while the Holocaust in Ukraine was one of the main killing grounds of the entire genocide.

    FSR was mainly on the receiving end of Nazi occupation and mass murder. Ukraine, by contrast, was not only a major killing ground of the Holocaust but also saw meaningful local collaboration, and it still has a real far-right problem today. Freedom House has explicitly described far-right extremism in Ukraine as a threat to Ukrainian democracy and documented violent intimidation by right-wing radical groups.

    That doesn’t make all Ukrainians Nazis; it just means the history and the present are uglier than the usual clean nationalist story. And calling people tankies for criticizing Ukraine or Zelenski is really, really, stupid.
