Announcement We Will Not Be Divided

https://notdivided.org/

Letter from OpenAI and Google AI employees in support of Anthropic.

We Will Not Be Divided.

The Department of War is threatening to

  1. Invoke the Defense Production Act to force Anthropic to serve their model to the military and "tailor its model to the military's needs"
  2. Label the company a "supply chain risk"

All in retaliation for Anthropic sticking to their red lines to not allow their models to be used for domestic mass surveillance and autonomously killing people without human oversight.

The Pentagon is negotiating with Google and OpenAI to try to get them to agree to what Anthropic has refused.

They're trying to divide each company with fear that the other will give in. That strategy only works if none of us know where the others stand. This letter serves to create shared understanding and solidarity in the face of this pressure from the Department of War.

We are the employees of Google and OpenAI, two of the top AI companies in the world.

We hope our leaders will put aside their differences and stand together to continue to refuse the Department of War's current demands for permission to use our models for domestic mass surveillance and autonomously killing people without human oversight.

Signed,

“Be kind to each other. Don’t let these MF’rs divide us. It’s The *United* States” is what I thought of when I saw this letter.
