Trump threatened to arrest Dario Amodei, CEO of AI giant Anthropic! Because Amodei did something that infuriated the White House: He refused to turn their large AI model, Claude, into a war machine. The Pentagon demanded the lifting of restrictions to allow AI to be used for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons without human oversight. Amodei refused on the spot, saying, "I cannot agree to this in my conscience." Trump immediately turned hostile: He ordered all federal agencies to shut down Anthropic and publicly stated, "If you don't behave, I will use all presidential powers to pursue serious criminal consequences!" In September, Trump specifically criticized him: "Dalio pretends to be a perfect little angel. Don't forget, the government holds enormous criminal power over you!" The irony is that Anthropic is rushing to go public, but its prospectus includes a clear warning: the company may face targeted retaliation from the government for adhering to its "AI safety stance." In the White House's eyes, adding safety barriers to AI is an attempt to prevent America from winning. If you have a conscience, and the president wants to win, then he'll send you to jail. This isn't just tech gossip anymore. This is a blatant attempt by powerful forces to seize control of AI. Whether AI is a blessing or a curse for humanity, depends on who holds the power to decide. AI in China is relatively mild. AI in the US is being used as a weapon in war. In my view, in the next 20 years, humanity is very likely to be severely impacted by AI robots.
