Some may have believed they were against AI being used for war. They just don’t want it to make the final kill decision.

The argument given by those supporting them is that AI in the military was inevitable, so their position is a reasonable one.

You said Anthropic didn't want to develop autonomous weapons. Anthropic contradicts you. They do want to develop them.

Can you acknowledge this fact?

I love how Anthropic only draws the line at autonomously killing Americans, too. I guess some lives are worth more than others.

You have a point, but perhaps try a softer tone next time. I think that would help your argument.

It's not a very solid point. They said they may become necessary at some point, but right now they're irresponsible.

They're not ruling it out in the future, but their focus is on today's problem.

Serinus, did you see the part where Anthropic wants to develop them with the US military?
