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 🇺🇸

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.
