The Pentagon Just Sent a Terrifying Message to AI Companies
It warned Anthropic it will “pay a price” if it continues to demand its products have safeguards.
Yeah the Pentagon was unfettered control of its use of their AI system for National Surveillance, making autonomous weapons or "facilitate violence" at home as well as in foreign battlefields and conflicts, and threatens to replace their product with another that will let them do these things.

Hello fediverse friends.
For The Globe and Mail newspaper, I've spent the last four months hearing from survivors of Myanmar's infamous scam compounds. Run by Chinese criminal syndicates with the collaboration of at least one Burmese pro-junta militia, the camps are staffed by trafficking victims, including a growing number of Africans who are beaten, electrocuted and raped if they don't meet scamming targets. They aren't paid for their efforts.
My story is published.

I love how these pretty obscure books seem to have a brief moment after their publication, and then their popularity must wane a little. It's a pity they don't stamp them any more.
