#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.
-
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.

#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.”

The company wrote that, “Designating #Anthropic as a supply chain risk would be an unprecedented action—one historically reserved for US adversaries, never before publicly applied to an American company.” The unsigned blog post added: “We are deeply saddened by these developments.”

…The #SupplyChainRisk designation issued by #Hegseth late Friday was an extraordinary escalation, ranking a leading #US #AI company alongside the likes of Chinese & Russian firms seen as a danger to the #UnitedStates.
It was unclear how easy it would be for government departments to move away from #Anthropic’s #technology, or for the company’s partners that do business with the #Pentagon to cut ties.#Trump #RevengePolitics #law #surveillance #AutonomousWeapons #privacy #security #military

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.

@Nonilex @paul_ipv6 But speaking of fruit, there’s some serious ‘sour grapes’ vibes there: “we didn’t need you anyway!”

…Many researchers & engineers working on #AI have long harbored concerns about their #technology being used to power #weapons or #surveillance. The battle between #Anthropic & the #Pentagon has reawakened those concerns across the industry.
By Friday afternoon, >550 employees at #Google & #ChatGPT maker #OpenAI signed an open letter in support of Anthropic’s position & calling on their bosses to stand up to the Pentagon.

@Nonilex there's a reason the USA wants autonomous weapons, and it's fucking terrifying.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/02/27/trump-anthropic-claude-drop/I wonder how fast they will fold. The other thing I fully expect to read in a few days is how much they are already doing the things they said they aren’t doing..
This isn’t the same way we ring said that they discontinued their agreement with flock surveillance, only to find out through reporting that they were already selling data to quite a few different surveillance companies

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @Nonilex we were just "auditing" it, you know, to see what it could do.

…The ultimate winner could now prove to be Elon #Musk’s #xAI [great /s], which #defense ofcls say has already agreed to the #Pentagon’s terms for working on #classified systems. The entrepreneur jumped on Emil Michael’s social media Friday [the DoD’s technology chief] saying “#Anthropic hates Western Civilization.” [ridiculous idiot.]

@Nonilex If we had a working government and any allies, we would be forming treaties now like we did with nuclear weapons, chemical weapons and cluster bombs, etc. Ben Rhodes. Not a direct quote I paraphrased.
