"artificial intelligence was so unpopular that 46% of respondents said they hold negative feelings towards the concept, and only 26% reported positive connotations"

"Fifty-seven percent of the respondents to the survey said that the risks of AI outweigh the benefits."

Anthropic has much more in common with the Department of War than we have differences. We both are committed to advancing US national security and defending the American people, and agree on the urgency of applying AI across the government. All our future decisions will flow from that shared premise.

Growing Fears That Hungaryโ€™s Orbรกn May Cancel Next Monthโ€™s Election As polling shows the opposition widening its lead, observers worry the prime minister is preparing a drastic step to retain power.

"Itโ€™s no surprise that observers worry that Orbรกn will cling to powerโ€”perhaps even to his dying breath. Then again, this possibly overstates the danger. If Orbรกn loses the election, he could always seek asylum in the United States."

Anthropic va in guerra, ma non contro gli americani - TechTalking.it Il Pentagono vuole l'IA per colpire le reti cinesi e pretende carta bianca. Ma Anthropic non si muove dai suoi due paletti.

Il Pentagono sta sviluppando strumenti di IA per mappare e colpire le infrastrutture strategiche della Cina (reti elettriche, impianti di distribuzione, sistemi sensibili) in vista di un eventuale conflitto militare. Ma intanto cresce la tensione con Anthropic.

It Turns Out That Constantly Telling Workers They're About to Be Replaced by AI Has Grim Psychological Effects The stress arising from fears of being replaced by AI warrants an entirely new psychological dysfunction, researchers argue.

"Two researchers are warning of the devastating psychological impacts that AI automation, or the threat of it, can have on the workforce. The phenomenon, they argue in a new article published in the journal Cureus, warrants a new term: AI replacement dysfunction"
