Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has threatened to punish the artificial intelligence company Anthropic
if it doesn’t let the Pentagon use its technology however it wants
—apparently even to create autonomous killer drones
or conduct surveillance of Americans.
Anthropic’s powerful AI model, Claude,
is currently the only one permitted to handle classified military data,

I feel so chaotic right now. I mean, internally. Way too much in my head about something infinitely inconsequential and yet it is such a sensation in the zeitgeist that apparently a lot of us needed right now. I guess we want to cheer this thing on as an act of … defiance?

"Trump - who has previously criticized the appearance of U.S. warships - will be personally involved in the designs."

The thing is, I don’t doubt that companies •do• in fact do stuff like what the whistleblower described, if not in such cartoonish terms. But this story is apparently fake, and that matters.

When in doubt, pull out the tired old "I feared for my life" defense chestnut. I don't understand how people apparently afraid of their own shadows get hired for this line of work.
