Caitlin Kalinowski, head of robotics and consumer hardware at OpenAI, announced her resignation on Saturday, citing ​concerns about the company’s agreement with the Department ‌of Defense.

In a social media post on X, Kalinowski wrote that OpenAI did not take enough time before agreeing to deploy its AI models ​on the Pentagon’s classified cloud networks.

“AI has an ​important role in national security,” Kalinowski posted. "But surveillance of ⁠Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human ​authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got.”

      It’s still the Department of Defense statutorily until Congress decides otherwise. “Department of War” was done by executive order and is therefore as good as bitch boy child rapist’s fun nickname for the department that goes on press releases.

        Department of War is an illegitimate club, and an insult to this nation, and therefor I say let them insult themselves.

      You know, I wonder if half of the reason for the rename, aside from being more on the nose.

      Is so even when the stock market tanks they can say “The DOW is up 100,000!”

    "But surveillance of ⁠Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got.”

    I get what she’s saying, but like… It’s shouldn’t take a whole fucking lot of deliberation to be like “mass surveillance? Lethal autonomy? How about no”
