"In order to strike a blistering 1,000 targets in the first 24 hours of its attack on Iran, the U.S. military leveraged the most advanced artificial intelligence it's ever used in warfare"
"Embedded into [Palantir's Maven Smart System] is Anthropic's AI tool Claude, a technology that was banned by the Pentagon last week after heated negotiations over the terms of its use in war.
Over the last year military planners have seen Claude, paired with Maven, mature into a tool that is in daily use across most parts of the military, according to two of the people."
Anthropic is a supply chain risk. Why on earth would they allow them to be used in such important tooling?
Anthropic was used in such important tooling. Why on earth would they then declare it a supply chain risk?
Have they even filed the forms yet or is this another instance of "let's tweet a thing and let some of the public believe Y (new) while X (old) is actually still true"?
Because then they get some form of control over Anthropic. Solely through the act of using it, they claim some form of ownership over it.
There’s no point in listening to anything this administration says. Top to bottom they all just say shit. Sometimes it’s true, sometimes it’s not. Sometimes it has some basis in reality and sometimes it’s wholly fabricated.
Hegseth called Anthropic a supply chain risk. This tells you absolutely nothing about if they are or are not actually a supply chain risk. It doesn’t even tell you if Hegseth thinks they’re a supply chain risk because, again, they just say shit.
Do whatever you can to stop the nightmare MAGA project they invented this week and ignore whatever they’re saying because it doesn’t matter.

Because if anything goes wrong it only affects foreigners and they don't vote in US elections.
