Why is there any controversy about defending one's nation being "good" or "bad"?
I can not believe what I am reading here, and how the single comment supporting defending one's country is so heavily downvoted. Qatar has poisoned Western online communities such that all defence of the United States is considered taboo? I don't even live in the US and I am frightened by what I see here.
- nailer 8mo agoOh I believe it’s important to defend the country, but not because it’s a popular opinion. I dislike any statement that believes truth is based on consensus.
- lordofgibbons 8mo agoThe controversy isn't about defending one's country, it's about you and the parent comment author assuming what this is all about without reading the article. The core of the issue about autonomous use of AI in mass surveillance of Americans and autonomous use of AI in automated weapons that make kill decisions. Anthropic is perfectly fine with working with the War Department and "defending one's nation". But they are not okay with their AI being used to make a mockery of the 4th amendment and making automated kill/no-kill decisions about actual human lives.

- seattle_spring 8mo ago"Defending one's nation" and "capitulating to the people in charge like Hegseth" are very much not the same thing.
