I signed this brief opposing the Supply Chain Risk designation against Anthropic, and supporting the importance of restrictions on domestic surveillance and autonomous weapon applications for current models. Very grateful for all the people who worked hard to make it happen.

I signed an amicus brief supporting Anthropic's right to do business without governmental retaliation. As an AI expert, I attest that Anthropic's technical concerns are legitimate, and no laws were designed to protect against AI analysis of surveillance data.

You love to see it. As opposed to the government, whose response was “The president “will never allow a radical left, woke company” to dictate how the military operates,” which is not how I would choose to respond to a lawsuit claiming retaliation for protected speech. But hey.

Staffers in AI labs have so much power the US military is scared of them not doing exactly what they want. This fear goes back to #CancelMaven campaign at Google which pissed of the military guys. They're worried it'll happen again in AI labs, and my god do i hope it does.

🚨 BREAKING: OpenAI and Google filed an amicus brief supporting Anthropic. The four main arguments: 1. The “supply chain risk” designation is improper retaliation that harms the public interest. 2. The concerns underlying Anthropic's “red lines” Are real and require a response.

Anthropic sues the Trump administration to reverse a Pentagon “supply chain risk” label. The San Francisco firm challenges the designation, issued after it refused unrestricted military use of its Claude AI, calling the retaliatory move an unlawful overreach of executive power.

Remember: reports said Anthropic made $4.5bn for all of 2025, and all of this guff about “$19bn in annualized revenue” no longer make sense, especially as that “exceeds $5 billion” line is from a lawsuit filed in *march*. This is a scandal! [image]

Court filings: Anthropic has spent $10 bln on training and inference. Its generated $5 bln in all-time revenue. Now billions of dollars in revenue for just this year is at stake and customers/prospects are already asking for new terms or backing out. https://www.wired.com/...

$5 billion TO DATE? This heavily suggests that Anthropic? Over $10 billion in inference and training costs? This heavily suggests that almost every story about Anthropic's revenue and costs they've leaked is wrong and that it's been misleading the media.
-
@edzitron
Ed Zitron

The only thing that makes sense here is that Anthropic's 2025 revenues were much lower than $4.5 billion. $5bn ALL TIME? Through march? Remember this is filed with a court. Suggests Anthropic is a much much smaller business than we believed
