#Anthropic is rejecting the Pentagon’s latest offer to change their contract, saying the changes do not satisfy the company’s concerns that #AI could be used for mass #surveillance or in fully #AutonomousWeapons.

@Amoshias @Nonilex I... literally called them a scam company.

Trust me, there is no danger of me ever going crazy for them. They're still running a very harmful scam that hurts us all.

Actually, that's my point. They're doing harm willingly and knowingly for money. For them to actually put their foot down on this is... weird and unexpected.

Maybe the regime just wasn't promising them enough money for it?

@Nonilex they can fuck right off with that Dept of War bullshit though...

Just like all #rapists, #Trump really doesn’t like being told no.

Trump says he is directing federal agencies to cease use of #Anthropic #technology in a petty whiny social media post.

Trump's decision stopped short of #threats issued by #Hegseth & the #Pentagon, including that it could invoke the Defense Production Act to require Anthropic's compliance. The Pentagon had also said it considered designating #Anthropic a #SupplyChain risk, a step previously only used against businesses tied to foreign adversaries.

But #Trump vowed further action if Anthropic did not cooperate with the phaseout.

@Nonilex strange how quickly one can become "radical left, woke" these days. In one day; out the next. It's almost as if the term means nothing but "fascists don't like this."

He’s totally Veruca Salt!!!! If only we could turn him into a blueberry like Wonka did. Though an orange would be more apt.

@Nonilex Whiny was the word I was looking for!

[nonilex@masto.ai]

The setback comes as #AI leader #Anthropic raced to sell novel #technology to #business & #government, particularly for #NationalSecurity, ahead of its widely expected #IPO.

At the same time, the battle over #tech #guardrails had raised concerns that the #DoD would follow #US #law [certainly not this one] but little other constraint when deploying AI for national-security missions, regardless of #safety or #ethics service terms embraced by the technology's developers.

#Trump #surveillance

[nonilex@masto.ai]

#Anthropic had sought guarantees that its #AI would not be used for fully #AutonomousWeapons or for mass #domestic #surveillance - applications in which the #Pentagon claimed it had no interest [wink wink nudge nudge].

@Nonilex

Who knew that a single software vendor not named Elon Musk could "decide the fate of our Country." Trump's Pentagon should work on multiple sourcing for all key products.

Btw, pretty sure there isn't a "Radical Left" vendor of any products for the Pentagon.

[alex_p_roe@mastodon.world]

@Nonilex I guess #Grok will be the next #AI choice - and that is a very scary prospect!

[n_dimension@infosec.exchange]

@Nonilex

If the Nazis could, they would take over #anthropic.
But AI is an airplane constructed in flight, removing engineers, will lead to predictable results.

Pentagon is using Felon Muscovites #mechahitler and #chatgpt but #claude rn is particularly suited for #vibecoding

[gooba42@mastodon.social]

@Nonilex That's what these LLMs are for though, I don't understand the conflict unless it's just "we should own all the stolen data, not the government".

[strangenoises@mastodon.social]

@d_a_n_a @Nonilex precisely the lesson of "first they came for..." there's no safety in merely not *yet* being in a target group.

[stellarsarah@mastodon.world]

@alex_p_roe that's definitely the trouble. Just because this AI company won't do it, we know that others will.

So much for holding back. GMAFB.

#Pentagon declares #Anthropic a threat to #NationalSecurity

#Defense Secretary Pete #Hegseth declared Anthropic a “#SupplyChainRisk,” blocking all federal agencies & contractors from doing business with the company.

Late Friday, #Defense Secy Pete #Hegseth followed #Trump’s unhinged post, saying in his own post that he was declaring #Anthropic a #SupplyChainRisk. “Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic,” Hegseth wrote.
