PremiumWarAI: Anthropic Refuses To Bend The Knee To Hegseth
Update (1745ET): In a statement issued on Anthropic's website, CEO Dario Amodei said there has been "virtually no progress" on negotiations with the Pentagon.
"The contract language we received overnight from the Department of War made virtually no progress on preventing Claude's use for mass surveillance of Americans or in fully autonomous weapons," Anthropic said in the statement.
"New language framed as compromise was paired with legalese that would allow those safeguards to be disregarded at will. Despite DOW's recent public statements, these narrow safeguards have been the crux of our negotiations for months."
