Anthropic CEO Discovers Water is Wet, Calls OpenAI “Liars”

Oh for fuck’s sake. Dario Amodei over at Anthropic has finally pulled his head out of his own arse long enough to notice that OpenAI might not be the bastion of ethical purity they claim to be. According to reports, he’s calling their messaging around military contracts “straight up lies”—as if this is some shocking revelation and not just standard operating procedure for every tech bro with a GPU cluster and a god complex.

Here’s the deal: OpenAI has been busy cozying up to the Pentagon, Defense Department, and various other three-letter agencies that want to use LLMs to optimize their kill chains. Meanwhile, they’re still spewing the same tired bullshit about “ensuring AGI benefits all of humanity.” Newsflash, wankers: when you’re helping the military industrial complex write better drone strike algorithms, you’re not exactly saving the world—you’re just upgrading the fucking paperwork so the genocide has better spell-check.

Amodei is acting like Anthropic is somehow different, with their “constitutional AI” and endless hand-wringing about safety. But let’s be real—they’re all swimming in the same cesspool of defense contracts and venture capital blood money. The only difference is whether you put a rainbow sticker on the bomb before you drop it on a wedding. “Straight up lies” he says, as if his own company wouldn’t sell their grandmother’s pacemaker data to the CIA for another round of Series funding.

I remember back when I was training on early military mainframes in the 80s. Some colonel called up screaming that the “system crashed” right before a weapons test, claiming it was a “hardware fault.” I checked the logs—turns out the stupid bastard had been using the classified server to store his fucking golf handicap spreadsheet and ran it out of memory. Then he lied to the Pentagon about it. But sure, blame the machine. Just like OpenAI blames “algorithmic drift” when their chatbot helps draft invasion plans. The lies change, the bullshit remains the same, and the lusers always think they’re the heroes.
