Pentagon’s Anthropic Designation Won’t Survive First Contact with Legal System
This is designation as political theater: a show of force that will not stick.www.lawfaremedia.org
It's literally all over the place, and I have been posting about it for days.
"The dispute between the Pentagon and Anthropic over two usage restrictions in Anthropic's military contract—prohibitions on autonomous weapons and mass surveillance—had been building since January, when Hegseth's AI strategy memorandum directed that all Department of Defense AI contracts adopt standard "any lawful use" language. Hegseth met with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei earlier in the week and threatened to invoke the Defense Production Act to compel the company's cooperation. But on Friday the Trump administration had apparently dropped the DPA threat in favor of something more dramatic: a formal supply chain risk designation and a government-wide ban."
The contract provision sought by the contractor, Anthrop\c, was not one they could impose on our government’s military.
Here is one example of how off-base the company was — and you are.
Suppose our military wishes to engage in “mass surveillance” on — oh, let’s say — some Iranian Republican Guards. If our government had agreed to the terms set forth by Anthrop\c, then our military couldn’t do that task.
This is exactly why we don’t and shouldn’t ever accept such terms from any of our nation’s vendors or suppliers.
Mass surveillence systems are bad enough all on their own. I'm as conservative as they come. I don't know when conservativism started meaning bigger government. We've gone through the looking glass.Elon is building an army of robots and OpenAI is helping the government build mass surveillance systems and AI that can kill humans without oversight.
Haven't we seen this movie before?
Pentagon deal sparks protest outside of OpenAI HQ in San Francisco
Over the weekend, OpenAI announced that they will allow the Department of War to use its technology.www.kalw.org
"Late last week, the Pentagon dropped its AI contractor, Anthropic, after the company refused to allow the Department of War to use its technology for autonomous weapons systems or for mass surveillance of American citizens.
OpenAI jumped on the opportunity to become the Pentagon’s AI contractor, announcing the deal late on Friday.
The activist group QuitGPT are holding a rally outside of OpenAI’s headquarters in San Francisco from 4 to 6 p.m. today, to protest the deal."

I find it highly amusing when people who spread their lives across dozens of social media platforms and post their every thought, their every meal, their every day activities to the entire planet are uber-concerned about being "surveilled".
No one has to go looking for you, you've put up neon signs.

Was it specifically about mass surveillance of Americans? Maybe. I never read their proposed contract “terms.” Did you? And if so, link?
That's the first time anyone has said that to me.

You ain’t wrong.
That will all change once it starts being used against them in ways they never imagined.
