This headline unfortunately offers more smoke than light. This article has nothing to do with the current tête-à-tête with the Pentagon. It is discussing one specific change to Anthropic's "Responsible Scaling Policy" that the company publicly released today as version "3.0".

I consider this a bigger deal than the Pentagon thing.

First they rushed a model to market without safety checks, and I said nothing. It wasn't my field.
Then they ignored the researchers warning about what it could do, and I said nothing. It sounded like science fiction.
Then they gave it control of things that matter, power grids, hospitals, weapons, and I said nothing. It seemed to be working fine.
Then something went wrong, and no one knew how to stop it, no one had planned for it, and no one was left who had listened to the warnings.

Plenty of people have said plenty. The problem isn’t the warnings, it’s that people are too stupid and greedy to think about the long term impacts.

What an interesting week to drop the safety pledge.
This is how all of these companies work. They’ll follow some ethical code or register as a PBC until that undermined profits.
These companies are clearly aiming at cheapening the value of white collar labor. Ask yourself: will they steward us into that era ethically? Or will they race to transfer wealth from American workers to their respective shareholders?
The AI startup has refused to remove safeguards that would prevent its technology from being used to target weapons autonomously and conduct U.S. domestic surveillance.
Pentagon officials have argued the government should only be required to comply with U.S. law. During the meeting, Hegseth delivered an ultimatum to Anthropic: get on board or the government would take drastic action, people familiar with the matter said.
This is terrible. It’s caving in to the Trump administration threatening to ban Anthropic from government contracts. It really cements how authoritarian this administration is and how dangerous they can be.
