> Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

Everyone is getting wrapped around the axel here but this is about the big picture, not the specifics. A private company should not have the ability to dictate how its technology is used by the government. If they can’t agree to that, then don’t sell your technology to the government. Personally, I don’t want to be spied on by the government with it (I don’t think their tech does that) but I also don’t want Anthropic…

Anthropic specifically called out systems "that take humans out of the loop entirely and automate selecting and engaging targets". I take that to mean they don't want the military using Claude to decide who to kill. As a hyperbolic yet frankly realistic example, they don't want Claude to make a mistake and direct the military to kill innocent children accidentally identified as narco-terrorists. At least, that's the…
Right. Did the DoW ask for that? Or does Anthropic make a product that does that?
If the DoD did not want those things, it would not be forcing a contract renegotiation to include them, at great cost to the government.

They can, however, rename their Twitter/X accounts and vacate the @SecDef handle, which seems to be up for grabs now, if anyone wants to do the funniest thing...
I tried to grab @SecDef just now, they appear to have it blocked/internally reserved
A few arrests and a few in detention centres, will be enough to make them fold and grovel.
They are now categorised as "radical left" and woke.
The elections will be controlled to "prevent the radical left take over of the greatest country on the planet".
edit : The stage is also being set for total media control. My prediction is that the next target will be Google, specifically Youtube. You should start seeing talks about how the radical left is inflitrated youtube.

Did the DoW ask for these things? This whole thing seems like people talking past each other, and that there’s something being left unsaid. Anthropic doesn’t make a product that would assist with kill drones, and they don’t have the right to deny subpoenas.
What do subpoenas have to do with anything? Where is all the weird misinformation in these comments coming from?
OpenAI has already said that they’ll give up whatever info the government wants if they’re issued a subpoena; they don’t have a choice.
I admire Anthropic for sticking to their principles, even if it affects the bottom line. That’s the kind of company you want to work for.

I don't see how you get that reading. Anthropic is clearly allowed to sell Claude to companies not doing business with the US Military. If anything that's more likely to be non-US companies.
IIRC, the supply chain risk designation is sticky which is why it tends to ultimately mean "nobody can work with this". Amazon using claude means a DoD company can't use Amazon. Every business that touches claude gets tainted. It's a bit like how the US Cuba sanctions worked and why they effectively isolated Cuba from everything.
I still don't see any way to read that as saying they could only do business with US customers, whether they give in or not?
