  We always root for the idealistic and naive hero in movies. The ones who will fall on their sword for honor. And if the world were a place where they win more often, maybe it'd be a better place. For that alone, I am still an @AnthropicAI and @DarioAmodei supporter and am long.

  SCOOP: The Pentagon has formally notified Anthropic that it's deemed the artificial intelligence company and its products a risk to the US supply chain, according to a senior defense official. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

  I'll have no comment to offer on this until I learn more details about the designation. These things can be scoped on different ways.

• @miles_brundage Miles Brundage on x

  It is both true that Ant made this outcome more likely with the memo and that that doesn't justify the supply chain risk designation whatsoever. Nothing does - it's totally insane. Horrible day for law and order, American AI competitiveness, national security, etc.

• @willrinehart Will Rinehart on x

  Sure, don't work with Anthropic, cancel their contract. I understand that position. But deeming the company a supply chain risk is just petty.

• @arozenshtein Alan Rozenshtein on x

  Well so much for the hope that the Pentagon would TACO on this. Presumably Anthropic is going to file a lawsuit ASAP and then the question is if/how quickly it will get an injunction from the courts.

  this is a tragedy for american innovation & the underlying relationship between public & private institutions.

• @tszzl Roon on x

  to reiterate: whatever went wrong between amodei & hegseth, whatever rivalry between the labs, this is a massive overreaction and a dark precedent

  Anthropic is one of my favorite accelerationist recursive self improvement labs. it rocks that they're firing marvelously on all cylinders across all functions to duly serve the technocapital machine at the end of time and the pentagon is slowing them down for stupid reasons

• @signulll @signulll on x

  i don't think most ppl understand the implication of a supply chain risk designation for an american company.  the implicit cost of all of this potentially has a chilling effect on the entire supply side... only vendors with nothing to lose, or those fully captured will play.  th…

  I am still hopeful that, per my original prediction, they will prevail in court, but this is just completely unnecessary and is such a black pill re: working with this government that I don't know how you can undo the damage.

  What's done is done so I will be Slaying a Spire on schedule (at https://twitch.tv/... at 2pm EST) but it's driving me nuts that this doesn't give ANY details, not which authority, not what scope, nothing, anyone know anything or do we just wait for the court filing?

  Defense Department designates Anthropic supply-chain risk after the AI startup restricts military use of its Claude model.  Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's move, historically reserved for foreign adversaries, may force all federal contractors to cut ties with the firm.
