THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military.
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. Their selfishness is putting AMERICAN LIVES at risk, our Troops in danger, and our National Security in JEOPARDY.
Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology. We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again! There will be a Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic’s products, at various levels. Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow.
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. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

So they signed a contract, decided they don’t like the terms, now they’re trying to extort Anthropic and gaslighting to claim Anthropic is strong arming them?
I fucking hate this administration man.
Anthropic took a stance against their AI in weapons and battlefield management systems. The government wants that ability and therefore chose to ban Anthropic as a supplier for government systems.
Yes but they already signed a contract WITH the safety limits in place.
I get that obviously they would want them removed, bit that is not what they signed.
He doesn’t say anything about breaking a signed contract. Simply that Anthropic will be phased out and no longer used by the government.
As a corollary, I doubt Anthropic’s contract will be renewed when the current one expires.
Edit: Grammar
They deemed them a supply chain vulnerability.
That’s not the same as choosing not to renew a contract.
Trump and Hegseth tried two different things simultaneously. They tried to deem Anthropic both a hostile actor, which would cut all DoD contracts off completely, and then also tried to declare them essential and force them to ignore the safety limits set forth in the contract, which is the supply chain thing.
So yeah, the incompetence is showing as it always is.
They deemed them a supply chain vulnerability.
This is the justification for phasing them out and (presumably) not renewing the contract. Happens all the time. Usually with less angry internet posts and more quiet paper pushing.
It’s one of the reasons DoD things can be expensive. DoD contractors aren’t allowed to use the cheap Chinese supplier, for example.
No, they declared them a supply chain vulnerability and that all companies that do business with the DoD are forbidden from doing business with Anthropic.
What that means in terms of AWS and Google Cloud being DoD contractors and being used to serve Anthropic’s models is still unclear. Potentially this means they can’t.
This is not just justification, this was extortion, and now is them doing their best to destroy this company for standing up to them.
Depends on how long the contract is, and who the administration is when that happens.
He doesn’t say anything about breaking a signed contract
Ofc he wouldn’t say that, especially if it’s true LOL
Ahhh, the good ol’ cut off your nose to spite your face. Instead of finding another product to fit their niche use case, they throw all the toys out of the bath tub and have a cry.
This is exactly what he did with every single trade deal he spent the last year working on. It’s a pattern of behavior.
And basically why we’re where we are with Iran.
Yeah, you can’t do business with the US government anymore. It’s just not feasible.
The funniest and dumbest part of this is how he doesn’t want the "radical left AI making military decisions… When what he was pissed about is the denial of anthropic in making the final military decision to launch missiles and fire weapons to kill.
So he’s pissed at what was allowed, and he’s pissed at what wasn’t allowed?
You have to realize, what exactly Anthropic refused: To extend the current contract to two things:
- Autonomous Weapons (AI deciding on firing weapons to kill humans)
- AI-powered mass surveillance of american citizens
refusing those two things makes it to be the only AI company that is ““radical left””. Now Google, OpenAI or Grok will do what Anthropic has done already, plus mass surveillance plus AI-killcommands
It’s crazy how not only ethics but now safety is “radically left”
Well, extremists love to abuse the concept of context
Yeah, one of the two was a pure safety play, not even ethics.
If I sell the military an ATV for shuffling things around on base, I might engineer a speed limiter to prevent the ATV from going faster than what its safety features are rated at. But a demand that I remove the governor so that the vehicle can go all lawful speeds totally misses the point. Whether it is illegal or unethical to do so, it’s still bad engineering to use dangerous technology beyond the scope of what it (and its safety features) has been designed for.
At the very least, didn’t Sam Altman/OpenAI say they intend to have these exact same restrictions?
Yeah, Sam Altman says a lot of things…
like that he didn’t rape his sister
Isn’t Altman Gay?
rape and sexual impropriety are about power and control, not sexual orientation.
Oh fuck
Hahahahahahhahahhahahahahhahhaha
Sam Altman the infamous grifter? The same Altman whose foot in the door into the tech industry was inflating user numbers to get his app sold? That Sam Altman?
I don’t want to paraphrase him out of context, so here is his full statement:
“I don’t personally think the Pentagon should be threatening DPA against these companies. But I also think that companies that choose to work with the Pentagon, as long as it is going to comply with legal protections and the few red lines that the field, we have, I think we share with Anthropic and that other companies also independently agree with, I think it is important to do that. For all the differences I have with Anthropic, I mostly trust them as a company, and I think they really do care about safety, and I’ve been happy that they’ve been supporting our warfighters.”
aaand he gave up on them already 😂
Well, there’s news about them being the replacement. So, no, they won’t.
Just listened to the “Search Engine” episode about anthropic that I think came out today? I am happy they stuck to their guns, but also, yeah google, open AI, grok, whatever, will happily do whatever crimes against humanity
Yeah, it’s going to be Grok. Who wouldn’t want an autonomous Mecha-Hitler killing things?
And Anthropic refused? Surely they must be the evil ones!
IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology
There will be a Six Month phase out period
What a fucking moron.
He used Claude to write this. Also, it’s a false flag, Anthropic will still snitch on you.
I don’t think that’s what ya mean with “false flag”, that’s a little specific (could also be me missing your point of course).
But hard agree. Even despite this, it looks good, sure - but let time earn trust, it will find it if there’s any to be found.
Until then - nonetheless, I say reward the moves that look like “we don’t need you”, to fascists. It ain’t much but it’s something.
Don’t think it’s a false flag, he’s personally pissed at them and they’re losing their juicy contract to ClosedAI.
Doesn’t change the fact that they’re an American corporation and will absolutely snitch on you though.
Most probably what went on was…
DoW decided to go with OpenAI for military stuff and Anthropic for covert surveillance.
So they are now giving a PR boost to Anthropic, to increase market permeation and increase their short term effectiveness.
Anthropic will release 17 updates in that time. They don’t care.
I’m just so tired of seeing 1984 and Brazil and Idiocracy and every other political warning and satire played out in the real world every goddamn day of my life
Time for some V For Vendetta me thinks.
Yeah. A good thick slice of Anarchism might be what we need to reset things.
That is Anarchism, with capital “A”, the anti-authority ideology.
wanton violence doesn’t really work, this has been tried before. you need precise and well thought out violence. last i bothered to check, something like 70-80% of the $ behind far-right america comes from like <20 people (<100 if you extrapolate that out to the world).
Where did they mention wanton violence? That’s not what anarchism is, and that’s also not what’s portrayed in V for Vendetta.
been awhile since i watched V for Vendetta, i remember it as basically just The Purge with accents and a little more monologuing
You should give it another viewing. There’s violence, but it’s not just random murder for its own sake like in The Purge. The protagonist carries out a series of targeted assassinations against people who were involved in detaining and experimenting on him in a concentration camp, and blows up a couple of empty buildings at the beginning and end of the movie in a symbolic act of defiance against a fascist regime. There’s a bit towards the end where he ships a bunch of guy fawkes masks to everyone and there’s some robbing and looting, but no killing until a secret police guy shoots an unarmed child in the street and some people jump him. The plot overall is about people rising up against and toppling a fascist regime, which is pretty relevant to current events.

You forgot wargames
Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow.
Anthropic yesterday:
Should the Department choose to offboard Anthropic, we will work to enable a smooth transition to another provider, avoiding any disruption to ongoing military planning, operations, or other critical missions. Our models will be available on the expansive terms we have proposed for as long as required. -Dario’s Post
“We’ll do X for you.”
“YOU’D BETTER DO X OR YOU’LL BE SORRY!”
“…Yes, as we said, we’ll do X.”
“HA! I WIN! I BEAT YOU LOSERS AND NOW YOU’RE DOING WHAT I TOLDED YOU TO! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!”
How are Anthropic left wing? I thought they were regarded as being not much better than ChatGPT?
everything 47 personally doesn’t like is lunatic left. AOC? lunatic left. eating his broccoli? lunatic left. when his phone runs out of battery mid toilet tantrum? lunatic left
Two of the Supreme Court Justices he appointed? Believe it or not, lunatic left.
Trade deals he negotiated and signed. Believe it or not, lunatic left.
see, you get it. Melania doesn’t do blowies anymore? lunatic left. representative Massey from Kentucky? lunatic left. his doctor telling him he shouldn’t have more than one vitaball in a day? lunatic left
lol what’s the Melania one? I want to read his tweet on that.
oh he hasn’t tweeted about it. but she refuses to let him hold her hand
They’re not. Standard lying and propaganda that they do. You can’t trust in anything they say, in any reasoning they claim.
They said something once and now Trumpet is upset.
I wonder what kicked the tantrum off.
They are standing firm on two very reasonable AI guardrails that the Pentagon wants removed.
Anthropic has drawn two red lines: no mass surveillance of Americans and no fully autonomous weapons.
Oddly enough this positions Anthropic as the sole big player in the (seriously disastrously) complicit landscape of roughly ALL large tech I’m aware of, to say nothing of AI, willing to refuse, and do so publicly, over something that matters, while that thing invites big $$$.
I hate to say this, but this really should be (tentatively, but ideally dramatically) rewarded.
Like a large scared dog, on a leash, in a yard with a bunch of even bigger ones. Ones with leashes held by something permanently unreliable, and all the dogs know it.
And Anthropic is the only one that does the “play bow”. And we don’t get to leave the yard.
What we do get is bad, and big, choices to be made.
He didn’t get what he wanted, so it’s tantrum time until he does.
You know this is how he behaved growing up, his Orc parents indulged it, and that’s why he behaves like a spoiled child.
HE IS A DEMENTED RAPIST CONMAN
Literally none of those words are hyperbole either. This comment is closer to factual reporting than what’s left on American TVs.
It’s also just reasons they vote and support him
Sounds like Sam Altman would be a better match for Donald Trump.
You forgot Pedo and Felon… not that anyone cares. Honestly at this point he could sign his emails with that list and people would still vote him in and back him.
How can anyone read this shit and not cringe?
Because it’s a fucking cult and Trump’s word is about as good as fucking Moses’.
You ever see how he wrote the ten commandments? Exact same emphasis.
Oh god. Are you telling me Trump is the racist white man’s modern Moses?
That’s literally what his cult thinks of him
that’s my president, he tells it like it is!
Trump supporters who wear Trump that bitch shirts proudly
Add a comma and I might wear it.
Would need to be really big or distinguishable, else people will miss the comma
They’re not reading but looking for keywords. People with low literacy do that.
Even by Trump’s standards it seems quite unhinged, indeed. Sounds bat shit crazy, tbh.
Dude, this just gave Anthropic so much credibility. They can literally own the entire AI market now.
Before this, I hated Anthropic, and now I just feel neutral.
You should still hate it.
I hate it again https://warclaude-alpha.vercel.app/
Feel like elaborating any? Looks like pretty over-the-top satire at a glance, but I’d always rather hear from people than read docs, “search things up” (for fuck’s sake lol), etc.
Dario revealed he doesn’t allow using his AI for surveillance and weapons-not because it’s unethical, but because AI isn’t good enough. He said he would gladly help with the surveillance of others and assist in automated killing with better accuracy.
Oh gotcha. My bad that was clear to me going in, def a whoosh
“pedophile Donald J Trump yells at the cloud”
When the AI company only wants to be 99% Hitler (They’re okay with their bot recommending bombing minorities overseas, but they don’t want to be held liable when it pushes the button and the bomb comes down in America instead)
Still. I will happily take a company with some moral fiber over one with none when it comes to this AI race to the bottom.
Not saying Anthropic are the good guys here (there are none IMHO) but they are clearly trying to be the “less bad guys”.
Reports of Anthropic’s moral fiber have been greatly exaggerated:
- Leaked Slack Messages Show CEO of “Ethical AI” Startup Anthropic Saying It’s Okay to Benefit Dictators
- Anthropic’s CEO admits compromising with authoritarian regimes to secure AI funding
- Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei backs President Trump on AI policy, pushes back on criticism
Anthropic publicly praised President Trump’s AI Action Plan… We have been supportive of the President’s efforts to expand energy provision in the US in order to win the AI race.
Oh, I am not saying they’re not still opportunistic money-chasers. Hence the comment about there not being any good AI companies. To me though, their reluctance on some topics and honest admissions on the capabilities of their AI make it appear that they less happy to throw all principals overboard in the race to win the AI market than the likes of Google, Microsoft, and Musk.
Moral absolutism benefits only the status-quo.
How?
Maybe i should give Claude a try, thanks for recommendation pedo j. trump
A spoiled brat writing a angry letter to santa saying his parents don’t let him do stupid things.
Only it’s the elected US President.
This reads like a Star Wars opening crawl: https://starwarsintrogenerator.com/scroller?u=26zznrtq
This is amazing. Thank you!
