    #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.”

    @Nonilex it certainly sounds libelous

      …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.

      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.

                #SamAltman, #OpenAI’s chief executive, said Friday that it was important for AI companies to find ways to work with the #Pentagon but that he had concerns similar to those of his rival #Amodei.

                    @Nonilex

                    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

                          …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.

                                      in the book, veruca salt went down the bad nut shaft, thrown by the squirrels. violet still ate the complete meal gum and went blue.

                                      always preferred the book to the movies.

                                          …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.]

                                          The madness continues …

                                          #OpenAI reaches deal to deploy #AI models on US Department of #Defense #classified network

                                          #SamAltman said Friday OpenAi reached an agreement with the #DoD.

                                          "In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety & a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome," Altman posted on X using the #Trump admin’s BS name for the DoD.
