A $200 million contract, and they can just say no? Is this AI company out of its mind?
Here's the situation: the U.S. military wants to list Anthropic (the company behind Claude) as a 'supply chain risk,' but the judge intervened and put a seven-day hold on it.
What’s the fuse? Anthropic stubbornly refuses to lift its own restrictions—no AI for large-scale surveillance for the U.S. military, and no AI participating in lethal autonomous combat.
Simply put, this company would rather lose contracts than let its technology become a tool for killing.
To be honest, AI companies are all eager to cooperate with the military now, and Anthropic's recent actions have made people look at them differently.
No matter how strong the technology is, there must be a bottom line. Earning this money is enjoyable, but how the history will be written later is hard to say.
Anyway, during these seven days, both sides have to argue again, and we just watch the show.
