If you’re not a US citizen, Anthropic supports your mass surveillance by the US regime. Thought you might want to know in case you find yourself funding your own future demise from a drone strike or something.


🤦Oh, it’s the Snowden revelations all over again.

They are claiming that AI-powered mass surveillance is a good thing but mass **domestic** surveillance isn’t

(I predict they will capitulate on the domestic demands too. They’re just playing good cop bad cop right now to make it look like they were forced into it.)

I am not afraid that all that AI collecting information will result in a drone strike on me, but I am afraid that systems such as those from Palentir will prevent me from entering the USA by overzealous customs agents who feel that posts such as this are against the US's interest.

I was asked to speak at a conference there next month, but I doubt if in the current political climate I will accept that invitation. Even though it would be a wise move for my company to go.

The worst situation is not that you are refused entry, but that they allow you in and then ICE immediately takes you in for deportation. An ordeal that can take months while filling the coffers of the commercial deportation centres.

"Department of War" and "lawful intelligence" doing all the heavy lifting is sending so many Orwellian/fascist vibes, I don't even know where to begin.

invest in growing GIANT pumpkins. Pumpkins confuse the hell out of AI, outside of the context of halloween. Pumpkin camouflage. Just walk down the street with a giant gourd on your head and you'll be safe.

Exactly. While #snowden felt forced to reveal how the us government was illegally surveiling its own citizens, but as an aside, it also revealed the depths of its spying on all other countries, including its so called 'allies'.
But no one in the US cared about that then, and no one cares about it now. Settled opinion is that it is their right.

And to think they get angry at us when nations start decoupling #us tech.
