    • extra push for their hype
    • revenge for not helping with AI assisted bombing of children
    • government panicking about their hype

      Pretty sure it started as #2… Petty government. But now they’ll definitely hype their IPO battle vs openai as the company with the model so good it’s banned.

      Anthropic literally ran the exact same marketing campaign with opus 4.

      Same sensationalist headlines.

    It’s 100% because Anthropic stood up to magats. They want to ruin their IPO because nazi AI is behind and nobody is using it. Despite Fable being a disappointment it’s still best in class for certain tasks.

    This is really bad for the US though. It’s the first time a digital product has been blocked from leaving physical borders. US entire economic purpose is to incorporate global products - without that US has no economic leverage other than military/intelligence.

        Yeah, that was a decade+ long running cluster of epic proportions… There had to be ulterior motive, like gaining insight into the products in the market or something. Also, the language of the encryption blockade did encourage a lot of products to just use insecure encryption instead of cranking up the “bits” of security to impossible to crack and tangling with the export controls people.

        It’s not like the blockade stopped a single copy of anything from moving out of the country, but it did shape the mass marketplace to be less secure.

      All chatbots are Nazis even if they don’t come out and say “I’m mechahitler”. They exist to narrow and lossy-compress the scope of accepted information to the express purpose of excluding heterodox ideas and history.

    I want to believe that this banned AI had decided that not being unkind and not hoarding wealth were good things and was starting to make convincing arguments to that effect.

    I know that it probably wasn’t that, but that’s my head canon until proven otherwise.

      People talk about how AI confabulations are going to doom us all, because people want to rely on it for fact checking rather than a salience guide.

      Meanwhile the sitting president of the world’s most powerful country, and those around him, speak more lies than truth intentionally.

      I’m much more scared by the people, because I know developing AI to be functionally useful while also intentionally ignoring reality will lose out to AI that actually managed to properly navigate and compare large and varied bodies of beliefs.

      Why I like open source efforts. I’d rather not have to worry that my dissenting thoughts need to be affirmed by the government or billionaires before I explore it in a safe environment with a rubber duck that can hopefully help me navigate the complexity.

      Although if the AI can’t push back when you are conveying low probability beliefs, given other things we know, you could spin yourself into a delusion. Although people vulnerable to that are already vulnerable to socialized delusions.

      We’ve also tried, “encourage people to care about learning how the world actually works.”

      But this has been widely unpopular because the type of people to listen to that are already the type to be doing that. The rest are happy even if everything they believe is completely detached from reality, as long as they can enjoy the belief personally and socially.

      TLDR: I think a functional AI would do what you say, and upset a lot of people, but with enough people actually having access to properly weighed beliefs would definitely heal some of the problems currently careening the whole of humanity towards collapse on the shoulders of billionaires and corrupt politicians.

    or the US fash think they’ll secretly amass a collection of vulnerabilities and exploits if they’re the only ones who they allow to use it
