Anthropic's issue was only that the AI isn't yet good enough to tell who's an American, so it avoids killing them. They were fine with the "killing non-Americans" bit.
- senderista 7mo agoI don't think that is true at all, could you provide a source?

We will not knowingly provide a product that puts America’s warfighters and civilians at risk.
- senderista 7mo agoThat’s interesting: I recall reading that sentence but I parsed it as “America’s warfighters” AND “civilians” (i.e., civilians in general), rather than as “America’s warfighters and America’s civilians”. I think the former reading is more plausible since American civilians are not normally at physical risk from American military operations. It’s unfortunate that this sentence is worded ambiguously, though.
- stavros 7mo agoOh interesting, I didn't parse it as "civilians in general". Hm, yes, it is unfortunate that we won't know what he meant to write.
