If the Govt Blacklists Anthropic, what companies will take collateral damage? What will it cost the US?

If AI is going to make decisions to shoot humans without human intervention, we're all doomed. But that's exactly the kind of insane shit that Hegseth is trying to pressure AI companies into doing. Hegseth can f all the way off and any company that goes along with this needs to be publicly scathed and boycotted.

The question is, does our AI or another country’s AI shoot us?

What an advertisement for joining the defense industrial base! Enter into contracts with DoD and, when DoD decides it doesn’t like the terms of the contract it agreed to, it will try to destroy your company!

Nvidia, Amazon, Google will have to divest from Anthropic if Hegseth gets his way. This is simply attempted corporate murder. I could not possibly recommend investing in American Al to any investor; I could not possibly recommend starting an Al company in the United States.

What country is stupid enough to not realize their AI will shoot them just as soon as shoot us?

Good reason to never contract with DoD again.

Nvidia, Amazon, Google will be stupid and committing corporate suicide if they let Hegseth get his way.

How much do Lockheed and Boeing rely on Claude AI for their defense projects?what about other defense contractors?

Have these companies been given stop work orders if their solutions use Claude ai?

No direction has been issued to contractors as of CoB yesterday. Engineers all use Claude for coding assistance.

This federal government designation will have ripple effects on federal civilian work as well as state and municipal work. Seems any state/municipal interfaces with feds will be impacted as well as any projects that receive grants from the feds.

We are in strange times.

Seems DCUM thinks this is NBD.

Will existing federal laws prevent (or make things difficult for) Anthropic from moving overseas? For example, the Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)?

I don’t know about trickle down, but there is a 6 month wind down period, so we won’t see any changes soon. Our defense relies heavily on the old system.
As far as putting borders on AI, the new contract with open AI is even more lax than the previous one. This was all done just to benefit more billionaires.

Do you believe AI is being used to determine what organizations (eg, cartels) and countries to target?
