Trump orders all US agencies to stop using Anthropic's AI

President Donald Trump has ordered all U.S. agencies to stop using Anthropic technology after the company’s unusually public dispute with the Pentagon over artificial intelligence safety. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also said Friday he was designating Anthropic as a supply chain risk, a move that could prevent U.S. military vendors from working with the company. Trump’s comments Friday came just before the Pentagon’s deadline for Anthropic to allow unrestricted military use of its AI technology or face consequences. Anthropic says it will challenge the supply risk designation in court.

Basically, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth wants to be able to use Anthropic's AI models for things Anthropic is not comfortable with: mass domestic surveillance of Americans and fully autonomous weapons.

Anthropic said "no". Whiskey Pete is throwing a tantrum, and Trump is supporting him in it.

This is highly entertaining on many levels.

One level is that a company peddling dangerous technology to fascists is suddenly learning the hard way how instrumentally the fascists treat them.

@rysiek Didn't Anthropic also roll back all of their self-imposed rules on being ethical right after that? Like, I highly doubt they ever abode by them, but it's always fun when companies go ripping their ethics manifesto very publicly because maintaining the facade is costing more money than it makes
