OpenAI agrees with Dept. of War to deploy models in their classified network

TOTAL ALTMAN VICTORY

Sam must not be aware of what happened to any business or foreign nation/leader considered outwardly friendly to the first Trump administration when the democrats regained control in 2020.

Is OpenAI and ChatGPT nie a national security threat for other countries?

There will be a scene in some future movie about Trump's authoritarian rise (we are still early in it) that shows Sam signing this agreement. Sam will be played by a character actor meant to symbolize silicon valley opportunism and greed.

What sam and greg don't realize is that the many who succumb to trump's pressure tactics will all be lumped into the same category by history.

Sam and Greg are handing an authoritarian regime that has broken so many laws in the past year a superweapon.

Their models are crappy anyway, the "super intelligence" BS is nowhere to be seen. Just let them die or become a US government asset.

We really need a plan for the scenario in which the US loses the trade war and decides to go homicidal AI on the whole world. Like, help them recover or something.

So basically Greg Brockman of OpenAI, currently the largest MAGA PAC donor, used his bribe to make the government destroy his main competition? I’m absolutely cancelling ChatGPT and will tell everyone I know to cancel as well.

I also absolutely do not trust sleezy Sam Altman when he claims he has the same exact redlines as Anthropic:

> AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.

If Hegseth and Trump attack Anthropic and sign a deal with OpenAI under the same restrictions, it means this is them corrupting free markets by picking which companies win. Maybe it’s at the behest of David Sacks, the corrupt AI czar who complained about lawfare throughout the Biden administration but now cheers on far worse lawfare.

So it’s either a government looking to surveil citizens illegally or a government that is deeply corrupt and is using its power to enrich some people above others.

This will backfire on Sam someday, he’s just a pawn in the agenda of the Trump admin.

The “Department of War” does not exist and no one should use their preferred pronouns.

I wonder if this will cause this to save open ai from the bubble! i am sure i am wrong;-)

Refreshing sanity.

is there a single thing left that altman promised that he hasn't broken with this company...

Honestly not even surprised. What else could you expect from a zionist?

"We will not be divided!"

They got divided 12 hours later, lol.

get fucked OpenAI. cancelled my subscription.

Sam Altman is this. Sam Altman needs to be stopped.

Sam Altman is a psychopath and his only talent is lying to people and convincing them of his lies.

Musk 100% right about this guy

lol it didn't even take them a whole night.

perhaps us mere mortals should petition our lawmakers to ban mass surveillance.

Is this setting the stage for a bailout? Was the whole thing between the three parties smoke and mirrors to justify a bailout down the line? It's conspiracy theory territory but, you know who we're dealing with here.

So nice of him! I am sure he believes they should offer these terms to all competitors.

HN: if you continue to subscribe to OpenAI, if you use it at your startup, you’re no better than the tech bros you often criticize. This is not surprising but beyond shady.

It’s the Department of Defense, and let’s not have the main post be a link to the non-consensual-porn-generating and Nazi-supporting site. Could an admin change the main link to the Fortune article also linked here?

Thank you Sam Altman for being a man with a good sense of ethics and empowering the US Military while it fights evil in Iran and empowering the US government and ignoring the idiotic haters

There's a lot of people in this thread that assume that Sam Altman is the one who is being dishonest here, and I kind of understand, but the other two parties who could just as easily be lying are Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump, and of the three of them if you think sama is the _most_ likely to lie I feel like you have not been paying attention.

"Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.

In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome.

AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.

We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only.

We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements.

We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place."

Sam is just about the least trustworthy person in AI, I don't trust his words as face value and I consider these weasel words:

> prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility *for the use of force*

[dead]

> We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should

A bold statement. It would appear they've definitively solved prompt injection and all the other ills that LLMs have been susceptible to. And forgot to tell the world about it.

Hey dang I know I’m not allowed to say this due to community guidelines, but Sam Altman is a lying sack of shit.

I am glad OpenAI stood up to do what's right and give the American people the ability to choose how AI is used for themselves rather than dictating it from their high horse.

Edit: It looks like the terms are similar in OpenAI's deal in what they prohibit so it isn't clear why they are any better. We should be the ones dictating what is and isn't prohibited. Not Sam. We will have to wait for more news on what is actually different.

Raise your hand if you actually read it or if you read the title and replied? I see a lot of comments that sure seem like they didn’t read it.

> Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.

IF this is true, it SHOULD be verifiable. So, we wait? I mean, I am a dummy, but that language doesn’t seem too washy too me? Either it’s a bold face lie and OpenAI burns because of it or it’s true and the Trump admin is going after the “left” AI company. Or whatever. My point is, someone smarter than me/us is going to fact check Sam’s claim.

Plain and simple this is revenge for the Anthropic super bowl ads, which were epic burns against openAI's primary future revenue stream.
