The stupidity and corruption of Pete Hegseth knows no bounds. In the latest instance, the AI company Anthropic says it doesn't want its products to have full autonomy to guide weapons since it doesn't think the software is reliable enough.

Hegseth is threatening to terminate Anthropic's contract because of this stance. He wants a product known to be unreliable to control weapons.

Hegseth likes the Skynet/Terminator scenario ?
Probably thinks that Jesus will be back soon & nuclear wipeout doesn't matter.
