If you sell to the War Department, the CIA, the NSA, or ICE/Border Patrol, you know exactly how it is going to be used.

This after the fact naiveté by Anthropic is crazy.

Speaking as a patriot I’d be incredibly proud if my tool was used in a supporting role for one of the most perfect military operations ever executed.

This would likely be the Hallmark of my advertising for the near future.

Instead, we have anthropic going on a fishing expedition for information to claim a TOS violation and rightfully getting the boot! :)

Palantir was trying to do the right thing.

Anthropic is trying to sell to the government while simultaneously dictating terms on how AI is used in the war department.

When you sell to the War department, or the IC, you can be certain that they are going to use it for planning operations and for executing operations.

The story is they started fishing for classified info on how their tooling was used from their prime contractor, Palantir, who rightfully blew the whistle on them and told DOD what they were up to.

I support the rights of Democrat & Republican administrations to designate certain companies as supply chain risks OR a national security risk.

I do not want a TikTok hoovering up our personal info sending it to China

I do not want a Anthropic becoming essential to warfare then questioning when the their AI is used to bring an enemy to justice

I do not want Nvidia sending their latest and greatest to China

I do not want a ASML moving their super advanced photolithography machines to China

I do not want a DJI selling their drones in the US and then exporting all the meta-data back to China

I do not want a Huawei hacking through American IT companies and then getting a free pass on selling their devices based on stolen IP in the US
