So they signed a contract, decided they don’t line the teens, now they’re trying to extort Anthropic and gaslighting to claim Anthropic is strong arming them?

I fucking hate this administration man.

Anthropic took a stance against their AI in weapons and battlefield management systems. The government wants that ability and therefore chose to ban Anthropic as a supplier for government systems.

Yes but they already signed a contract WITH the safety limits in place.

I get that obviously they would want them removed, bit that is not what they signed.

He doesn’t say anything about breaking a signed contract. Simply that Anthropic will be phased out and no longer used by the government.

As a corollary, I doubt Anthropic’s contract will be renewed when the current one expires.

Edit: Grammar

They deemed them a supply chain vulnerability.

That’s not the same as choosing not to renew a contract.
