This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon.

Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic.

Instead, @AnthropicAI and its CEO @DarioAmodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives.

The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield.

Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable.

As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives.

Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered.

In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service.

America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final

The Germans seem to be coming up with a solution to Anthropic

Sorry, I don’t want the US government using AI tools to conduct MASS SURVEILLANCE on US CITIZENS or fully unleashing a COMPUTER PROGRAM to make KILL DECISIONS

Those are Anthropics two stipulations. Even for heat sealing missles…somebody has to (1) give the order to fire and (2) push the damn button. Why does Pete want to spy on us and why does he want to give a woke computer the authority to us WEAPONS without human approval?????

Anthropic has the best AI in the world and it isnt even close. There's nothing out there that can touch it

It's such a national risk the government is giving them a 6 month wind down.

Anthropic has made major in roads into finance. The government will try to contract back with anthropic in 7 months at twice the price of whatever they have now.

Open ai and google are focused on the end users. Anthropic is enterprise-centric company the code generation it puts out isn't even close at scale. If I were a betting person, I think Meta wil make a move. Their ai is better than people think.

This is so fricking stupid. We’re fricking up our management of AI every way imaginable. It’s arguably been Trump’s single worse area.

Altman will call in his Jew crew buddies to change Trump’s mind

Altman hates Anthropic...

Yeah seems bad. The surveillance implications are crazy, especially when we contemplate what some future administration might use it for.

While true, if you are relying on a company like Anthropic to ensure that won’t happen you are cooked.

BREAKING: Sam Altman told OpenAI employees at an all-hands meeting on Friday afternoon that a potential agreement is emerging with the Department of War to use the startup’s AI models and tools, according to a source present at the meeting and a summary of the meeting seen by Fortune. The contract has not yet been signed.

The meeting came at the end of a week where a conflict between Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and OpenAI rival Anthropic burst into public acrimony, ending with the apparent end of Anthropic’s contracts with the Pentagon and with the federal government in general.

Altman said the government is willing to let OpenAI build their own “safety stack”—that is, the layered system of technical, policy, and human controls that sit between a powerful AI model and real-world use—and that if the model refuses to do a task, then the government would not force OpenAI to make it do that task.

In essence Trump will agree to Antrhopic's terms, just with open AI instead, cause Hegseth is such a clown he bluffed and can’t back down but in essence they will?
