for real, our own govt is doing a great job at keeping us distracted with this propaganda that China will consume the US with its AI. Meanwhile in the US our Capitalistic policies, PE and data companies are slowly enslaving.

We are sprinting towards a consolidation of all resources into a handful of people/corporations.

Everyone is so afraid of socialism, yet we are running head first into corporate socialism.

yeah, people have been programmed so heavily to believe capitalism is just inherently great for all of us, they can't see the corporate dystopia that comes without proper regulations

It’s funny when supposed conservatives choose to trust our tech lords. Just need to throw out a good foreign boogeyman for the masses and you’ll have people like OP talking about are freedoms.

That "abundance" just going to "trickle down" to the middle class, right? Altman, Musk, et al. programming that into the code? Hard coding prosperity for the middle class if the good ole U S of A comes out on top of the AI race? Because that's what oligarchs do. Assure prosperity for their serfs.

Like mass surveillance? AI memory replacing livable areas and consuming finite resources? A police state supercharged with AI? China is definitely the only place that would do that.

Anthropic says Claude users in northern Yemen, territory controlled by Iran-backed Houthi rebels, tried to use the AI model to develop advanced missiles.

AI is already transforming warfare from Ukraine to Gaza, and its use on a rugged and remote battlefield is likely to increase concerns about its rapid spread.

Anthropic said the users of the accounts, which it blocked after identifying them, did not succeed in “fielding an operational device” but did carry out a failed test of a guided rocket. It said it knows that because the users returned to its Claude chatbot to find out why it failed.

In a report released Thursday, the company did not identify the users. But mountainous northern Yemen is controlled by Houthis, suggesting that the rebels are pursuing more sophisticated weapons at a time when they are already wielding an array of drones, missiles and other munitions in their campaign to seize more territory in Yemen and damage Saudi Arabia’s oil exports.

Hazam al-Assad, a member of the Houthis’ political bureau, said it is “unreasonable and illogical” that they would rely on open sources to develop and produce military capabilities.

“Our armed forces have modern, diverse and developed production capabilities and technology that it has accumulated over the period of Saudi aggression on Yemen,” al-Assad said, referring to the kingdom’s involvement in Yemen’s 12-year civil war. He said all weapons are used for self-defense.

The report was the third put out by Anthropic since March 2025 on global misuse of its AI platforms, and it described findings from December to August, ranging from state-sponsored groups spreading propaganda to unnamed actors researching how to make biological weapons more deadly.

No treaty will work when it comes to AI.

We had bioweapons treaties to try and prevent 'a covid' from happening.

And they didn't work. We still got covid anyway and we were the ones responsible for funding the whole deal. The US gamed the system. Created the covid virus using a loophole based on the intent to develop a countermeasure. Covid escaped the lab and destroyed a bunch of people and the global economy.

AI will too. We being teed up for that.

People scrambling to get ahead political risk of an AI assisted cyberattack sending us into a global economic meltdown.

Any Ai treaty would be waste of time and against the US's own interest. We getting stroked off from behind with all this bs.

The only reasonable solution is go full speed ahead with all of it. Trying to do a safety time-out was a good idea 10-years ago and It's too late to put on a condom after you've already fricked.

Or what if both lead to a dystopian future?

One thing is for sure though,

At no point in the past 6-years have we made a turn toward improvement.

Each month and year trending overall worse than the last.

The thread title uses the term panicans.

Pretty much a guarantee they haven't had an original thought and have their opinions spoon fed.

What I’m really not looking forward to is the next round of presidential debates. Prob gonna be a bunch of 75 year olds who obviously never used AI in their life spitting out talking points and trying to sound informed about it.
