Sam Altman says "the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety."

Not 24 hours ago, he seemed to back Anthropic "supporting our warfighters" as long as two "red lines" weren't crossed, though his tepid support was laden with five instances of "I think" and one "mostly."

The two "red lines" in question:

  • Domestic mass surveillance
    (presumably, foreign mass surveillance is ok)
  • Autonomous weapons
    (likely because they would be held legally liable for misfires)

DoD: you just bombed the wrong Georgia!

ChatGPT: You're absolutely right, and you're right to call that out. Upon examination it does appear that there might have been a mistake with the coordinates of the missile strike. Let's try again โ€” this time we will double check before we launch any missiles ๐Ÿš€

exec: bombing Georgia Children's Hospital.

Do not bomb the hospital OpenClaw

exec: some survivors detected. Launching mustard gas drone.

STOP OPENCLAW

(This is actually what Facebook's head AI Safety expert did IRL with Anthropic's bot)

This is dystopian beyond Black Mirror and disturbingly real at the same time.

I know this is not the point of your comment, but which Georgia specifically is the right target to bomb?

The one in Caucasus is supposedly friendly, South Georgia is British property so allied land, and, eh, the remaining one is, as I understand, the always wrong one to bomb.
