Anthropic and OpenAI CEOs condemn ICE violence, praise Trump

CEOs Lose Their Damn Minds: AI Bosses Condemn ICE Violence, Then Blow Kisses to Trump

Well holy algorithmic fuck, what do we have here? Two of Silicon Valley’s self-proclaimed “ethical overlords” — the big boss from Anthropic and that other one from OpenAI — have apparently decided to wade into political hellfire with both feet. They piped up to publicly denounce violence from ICE agents (yeah, no one’s endorsing government thuggery, thanks for the bleeding-heart announcement) but then, with whiplash-inducing speed, turned around and started giving verbal backrubs to none other than Trump himself. Talk about cognitive dissonance served with a side of bullshit.

Apparently, these titans of machine learning wanted to make it clear they stand against “violence in all forms” — lovely PR fluff right there — while also mumbling something about “strong leadership” and “economic successes” under Trump. Because nothing says moral consistency like condemning authoritarian behavior one sentence and slobbering over it the next.

In the end, the whole thing reads like a corporate press release written during a group ayahuasca trip where someone spilled Red Bull on the keyboard. It’s the sort of statement that makes you wonder if their models are doing sentiment analysis on their own public image and then outputting gibberish calibrated to please everyone — and end up pleasing absolutely fucking no one.

All I can say is, when the AI CEOs start moralizing politics like confused philosophy interns, it’s time to unplug the servers and give everyone a mandatory nap. I’ve seen fewer contradictions in a badly optimized neural net — and that’s saying a helluva lot.

Reminds me of the time some middle manager told me to “align with vision” while crashing the system with their own incompetence. Took me two hours to recover the database — and another week to stop laughing when they got reassigned to “strategic partnerships.” Idiots.
