The recent NYT article about OpenAI and Anthropic fighting over Pentagon contracts reveals the deep, personal fracture at the heart of Silicon Valley’s AI race. On one side, you have OpenAI rapidly commercializing and partnering with the defense sector, arguing that American technological supremacy is essential for national security and global stability. On the other side, Anthropic, which split from OpenAI over safety concerns, positions itself as the ethical alternative but is now getting pulled into the same military-industrial orbit. Is this just a bitter personal feud between Sam Altman and Dario Amodei, or a battle for the soul of artificial intelligence? If both companies end up building defense tech, does the 'AI safety' argument even matter anymore, or is it just a marketing gimmick to win massive government contracts? #technology #politics #journalism https://thoxt.com/l/KcFqZU 🔗
