"The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution. WE will decide the fate of our Country NOT some out-of-control, Radical Left AI company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about."
"Anthropic, which presents itself as the most safety-forward of the leading AI companies, has been mired in months of disagreement with the Pentagon even before the public discussions began this week. US defense officials have pushed for unfettered access to Claude's capabilities that they say can help protect the country, while Anthropic has resisted allowing its product to be used for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons."
"Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said in a statement that his company cannot in good conscience accede to the Pentagon's demand for unrestricted use of its AI tools. Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell posted that we will not let ANY company dictate the terms regarding how we make operational decisions."
A conflict escalated between the Department of Defense and Anthropic over the military's use of Claude AI systems. The Pentagon demanded Anthropic loosen ethical guidelines on its AI tools, while Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei refused to compromise the company's safety standards. Trump intervened before a Friday deadline, directing all federal agencies to immediately stop using Anthropic technology and criticizing the company for attempting to impose terms on the military. Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell stated the government would not allow any company to dictate operational decisions. The disagreement centered on safety guardrails, with Anthropic resisting unrestricted military access and the Pentagon seeking unfettered capabilities for national defense purposes.
