From an American (government) perspective, a foreign military doing that can be a lot more worrying.
"Detachment 201: the Executive Innovation Corps"
Lol, as if AI technology in the military hasn't been in the public zietgiest for at least the past 40 years
EXPLOSIVE ALLEGATION
How is this a revelation to fucking anyone? Will we be seeing eXpLoSiVe allegations of OpenAI and Anthropic working with the US military, or is that fine?
I'm European so I certainly don't trust the US any more than China. Probably even less.
Don't you get it? The propaganda needs you to be rallied into a constant state of China Bad sentiment, even if the excuses for such don't make sense.
As another European, I flat out trust China more than the US. They don't make BS like this up.
Weeeellll I mean, they do make up shit all the time, but that's just great power politics for you. What's left for us little people is to decide which overlord is the least bad
Gosh, its a good thing openAI and google dont do the same thing for the US government isnt it?
Chinese Spyware 🙅♂️
American Spyware 🙅♂️
Locally run LLM 😎
You can run R1 locally, it's just fucking creepy, because it tries super hard to sound human
Guide suggestion?
lol when China do thing is bad!! But private US companies doing the same thing is freedom.
Interesting whataboutism going on in this thread but then again this isn‘t much of a news story. Yes, all the tech giants of super powers work for the military and we (the world) are absolutely in a cyberwar with them.
Not like they aren't mining data from most of the world...
Meh. I prefer Grok.
