Strange times. I truly feel these are the last days of our Republic. Especially if more aren't willing to take a stand.

As a Canadian looking in, I see people talking about a 36% approval as low.

How is it that high!?

That means that more than 1-in-3 of your countrymen are ride-or-die, and it's just heartbreaking to see that we're going to have to launch that many people into the sun.

To counter point, do you think AI companies located on our adversaries turf will take the same stand? I agree its nightmarish to think of AI surveillance. But why is that being lumped in with weaponry? I see these as two separate issues.

Anthropic isn't even taking a particular hard stance. Their mass surveillance prohibition only applies to domestic spying, so they're a-OK with spying adversaries. If all of the AI companies all over the world took the same stance, it wouldn't improve the life of Americans one bit.

The only other thing that the foreign AI companies could do is say no to automated killing bots, which doesn't even seem like that good of an idea considering that your countrymen will most likely have to interact with these robots that can kill without any oversight.

Do we need a "human in the loop" when targeting autonomous machines?

... in the same sense as the two sides of a coin are separate sides maybe.

I guess if we are going this way, we might already start building camps for the undesirables, since our adversaries will surely do that too.
