Elon Musk & Trump

Shortly after, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the Pentagon would formally label Anthropic a “Supply-Chain Risk to National Security” A designation normally reserved for companies associated with foreign adversaries such as China or Russia — barring any military contractor or supplier from conducting commercial activity with the company.

Anthropic had been operating under a Pentagon contract worth up to USD 200 million to support defence operations. The company had made clear throughout months of contract negotiations that it would not allow its AI systems to be used for domestic mass surveillance or for direct control of lethal autonomous weapons. The Pentagon, for its part, demanded the right to…

This could soon act autonomously and pursue its own goals, manipulate algorithms and direct biological weapons, according to the journal "Science" (background information here). On Tuesday, the EU passed a law for more transparency in the use of artificial intelligence (via dpa). Experts believe that without effective control of AI, the world could soon spiral irreversibly out of control. However, this is also to be feared with the human intelligence currently in use.

Schluss mit der Eskalation | Jetzt sofort!

Das darf nicht sein! Der Angriff ging von Putin aus! Seit Monaten fordert die Ukraine schwere und mehr Waffen, sprich die Verteidigung der Grenzen, und eskaliert dabei auch, wie jetzt mit dem Angriff auf die Bruecke! Das Wort Verhandlungen und Diplomatie und Deeskalation scheint im Vokabular von Selenskij gar nicht vorzukommen! Stattdessen denkt er an Praeventivangriffe auf Russland, er will folglich die USA und NATO in die Kriegshandlungen einbeziehen. Das ist dann der Beginn des Dritten Weltkriegs, den manche Menschen wohl herbeisehnen! Ich nicht! Meine Antwort auf die Frage: Wollt Ihr den totalen Krieg? lautet Nein, nie wieder! Schluss mit diesem Wahnsinn auf beiden Seiten! Sofortige Verhandlungen JETZT, AB SOFORT! NIE WIEDER KRIEG!!! gez, Peter H Bloecker, StD i.R.
