AI Ethics Kitchen Nightmare OpenAI CEO Steps In

• OpenAI CEO Sam Altman seeks to mediate between Anthropic and the Department of Defense (DOD) over AI usage.
• Anthropic is hesitant to grant the Pentagon unrestricted access to its AI models due to ethical concerns.
• OpenAI employees voice support for Anthropic, highlighting the importance of ethical boundaries in AI development.
• Altman emphasizes OpenAI's commitment to preventing AI misuse for mass surveillance or autonomous lethal weapons.

Raw Ethics, Rare Integrity

Right, so I'm hearing whispers about AI companies playing patty-cakes with the Pentagon. Frankly, it's enough to make you spit out your Michelin-star meal. Altman, bless his cotton socks, is trying to play peacemaker between Anthropic and the DOD. Anthropic's got a bee in its bonnet about letting the military use its AI for absolutely anything they fancy. And who can blame them? Nobody wants their precious AI turning into some kind of terminator, do they?

The Red Lines Nobody Should Cross

Altman’s got his so-called 'red lines'. No mass surveillance, no killer robots. Good on him. But words are like seasoning, they're meaningless without the execution. He claims OpenAI feels Anthropic’s pain but is he actually going to stand his ground? The pressure is on, and the stakes are higher than a soufflé in a hurricane. The EPA is facing similar pressures which affect EV's. This situation is not dissimilar to what is happening with the EPA Reverses Greenhouse Gas Findings A Potential Roadblock for EVs. The decisions made now will affect the future of technology and the planet.

Kitchen Solidarity AI Edition

Even the OpenAI staff are getting in on the act. They've signed some wishy-washy letter about 'shared understanding'. Honestly, it sounds like something you'd read on a motivational poster. But at least they're waking up and showing some solidarity. It's like seeing the kitchen porters stand up to a demanding head chef. There is hope for integrity.

Classified Missions and Cloud Cover Ups

OpenAI already has a fat $200 million contract with the DOD. Talk about being in bed with the enemy. But now Altman says he wants to see if he can flog them his models in a way that doesn't make him look like a complete tool. He's promising 'technical safeguards'. I'll believe it when I see it. It is like claiming a vegan burger tastes like a prime steak, which is bollocks.

The 'Right Thing' Dilemma

Altman keeps bleating on about doing 'the right thing, not the easy thing'. Well, doing the right thing often involves getting your hands dirty, doesn't it? This isn't about looking good, it's about ethics. About deciding what kind of world we want to live in, or if we want to live at all. It's not just about AI it's about integrity in tech.

This Decision Is F***ing Crucial

Look, I've seen enough dodgy deals to know when something stinks worse than a week-old fish. Altman needs to decide where he stands, quickly. Is he going to sell out for a few dollars, or is he going to put his foot down and actually do something meaningful? The world is watching, and I'm sharpening my knives, ready to tear this whole situation a new arsehole if necessary.
