The #US gov classified #Anthropic as a "threat to national security" because they didn't want to chance their policy to allow
- Mass surveillance
- Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems
Don't get me wrong, I have no love for #AI (#LLM) but this is how #CORRUPT the US government is
The gov are the ones who are a threat to national security 🇺🇸
Here’s how I read this. The semantic content of a public meltdown, followed by punishment for what is standard ethics washing by big tech, is an unapologetic announcement of the drive for mass surveillance married to automatic kill chains being developed for the military which can and will be applied domestically.
The company was providing targeting information that led to the bombing of little girls in Iran.
Anthropic’s mistake was to fail to read the cultural room of the current cabinet.
Their’s is an unapologetically ruthless and brutal authoritarian culture. The ideologically, pure framing must be to glorify, totalitarian, surveillance, and automatic kill chains.. in other words virtue signaling is woke, and crimes against humanity signaling the new hotness.
They don’t tolerate the veneer of civility.

In case you missed this, the U.S. govt apparently now has in hand the Russian-developed weapon responsible for the Havana syndrome, according to the news report. The present U.S. administration would have no qualms against using it their own people.
Fascist talk: Every accusation is a confession.
It's actually scarier than that.
Not "mass surveillance", but specifically "mass domestic surveillance". Source
They were totally fine with the US using the tool to surveil other people, just not Americans. The Department of War was unwilling to accept even that limitation.
Which is actually kind of ridiculous, because the department of war should not be surveilling those people anyways. Those are the purviews of completely different departments.
I made the same point months ago, and AI wss not even involved.
