"President Trump declared he was severing all government ties with San Francisco-based AI company Anthropic after the company raised concerns that its tools could be used for AI-based mass murder and domestic surveillance. By 7 pm Friday, Anthropic's SF rival OpenAI stepped in and said they would gladly take the contracts. And by 8 pm Friday night, the US was launching military attacks on Iran."
"Trump declared on Truth Social that Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and that 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!"
"The Journal's reporting says the Pentagon used Claude in the Iran attacks to select targets, conduct theoretical battlefield simulations, and for general intelligence assessments. According to Axios, despite Trump's bans and tantrums, The Pentagon still sees Anthropic's Claude as superior to other models."
President Trump declared a ban on all government use of Anthropic's Claude AI tool, criticizing the company as radical left-wing and accusing it of attempting to strong-arm the Department of War. Trump directed all federal agencies to cease using Anthropic's technology immediately. However, the Pentagon continued using Claude for the Iran military operations that occurred the same weekend, employing it for target selection, conducting theoretical battlefield simulations, and performing general intelligence assessments. According to reports, the Pentagon views Claude as superior to competing AI models. OpenAI offered to assume Anthropic's government contracts following the ban announcement.
