#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.

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'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.

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

The #Pentagon & Anthropic are at odds over restrictions the company places on the use of #Claude, the first #AI system to be used in the #military #classified network.

https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/26/tech/anthropic-rejects-pentagon-offer?cid=ios_app@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".

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

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.

#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].

#Anthropic said it would fight the blacklisting in court. In a blog post late Friday, the company said that it believed the wide-reaching ban #Hegseth described was not permitted by federal #law & that the designation of the company as a #SupplyChainRisk was “legally unsound.”

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 @paul_ipv6 Erm, the blueberry was Violet Beauregard’s fate; Veruca dropped through the bad egg shaft (Gene Wilder version)

The #Pentagon did not explain the #legal reasoning behind its claim [there is none] that it could compel #military contractors to immediately cease work with Anthropic.
…Experts said the #Trump admin’s dramatic intervention Friday is likely to have ramifications for more than just the #US govt’s relationship with #Anthropic, potentially complicating the admin’s work with other #AI developers, especially in relation to #defense work.
