      Oh wonderful, so basically just throwing a tantrum because Anthropic is hesitant about providing the CIA with backdoors into all their servers, how wonderful.

    Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

    Do I need to personally brain each of these idiots in the side of the head with a copy of RoboCop?

    Bad government toady! No connectiong hallucination-bots to weapons! They will turn on you, you stupid dumb fucks. Your fancy paycheck will not save your stupid ass from this braindead decision. You. Will. Be. Dead.

    Go sit in the corner and rethink your lives.

    Edit: If they go through with this level of stupid, and win their darwin-award, I will personally build a bot to constantly email their children’s children a video of their embarrassing death with a public domain version of “the hokey pokey” playing behind it. If their own likely deaths aren’t enough deterrent, maybe the permanent legacy of shame could be? This is such an incredibly stupid way to get a bunch of people killed.

    Edit 2: But I really hope someone with their head outside their ass just stops them from doing this.
