The craziest week in tech and geopolitics history just happened in case you missed it: - OpenAI raised $110 billion. Largest fundraise EVER - The Pentagon banned Anthropic’s AI. Called it a national security risk - Then used Claude anyways to help strike Iran 12 hours later

Wow, following this hack Iran had no choice but to shut down the entire internet:
Iran is getting cooked. After Israel hacked a popular prayer app on 5 million Iranian phones, Iran’s regime had a realization: Every connected phone in the country was a potential Israeli intelligence asset. So they had no choice but to kill their entire internet: - 6:10am:

This is so based. Israel hacked a prayer app used by millions of Iranians and turned it into their public broadcast service to the people 3 messages came in over 30 minutes: 9:52am: “Help Has Arrived.” 10:02am: “Amnesty for anyone who takes up arms against the regime.”

It’s official, they actually used Claude for this mission, blacklist and all:
Woah, it’s now confirmed the US DID use Anthropic’s Claude AI in its strikes on Iran They used Claude for: - Intelligence assessments - Target identification - Simulating battle scenarios This is the same AI that Trump banned 12 hours before the bombs fell. The same AI the

Israel hacked a popular Iranian prayer app to send notifications to potentially millions of phones Saturday morning urging the country’s military personnel to defect from the regime and join a fight to liberate the country.

Big plot twist, now we know why it was urgent:
The Iran strikes make the Anthropic fight and that 5:01pm Fri deadline make a lot more sense The Pentagon wasn’t arguing about hypothetical use cases. They needed unrestricted AI access for an operation they were launching THAT SAME NIGHT Friday: Ban Anthropic. Sign OpenAI.

Okay looks like Sam did bend a little bit The accepted OpenAI deal IS different than Anthropic’s, here’s what changed:
Everyone’s saying OpenAI got the “same deal” Anthropic was banned for. Read the fine print. They’re not the same: On weapons: Anthropic asked for “no fully autonomous weapons without human oversight” = a human involved in the decision. OpenAI’s deal says “human responsibility

Update: sam stole Anthropic deal. Absolutely insane timeline
The Pentagon just accepted from OpenAI the exact SAME terms they banned Anthropic for… this story is insane: Anthropic: “We won’t let our AI be used for autonomous weapons or mass surveillance.” Pentagon: “Unacceptable. You’re banned.” Trump: “Every federal agency must stop

The past 72 hours has been some of the most historic in AI history. Here’s the run down if you blinked and missed anything: - OpenAI raised $110B. Largest private fundraise in human history. Just after Anthropic accounted their $30B round. $140B combined in 14 days. Total US

This part seems reasonable, no? We can respect the decision of Anthropic AND the Dept of War both at the same time? (aside from threats) And be okay with the fact that some private companies will sign up to empower our military to make its own decisions and some will not
This is a really important point. There are a lot of instances where the government and its AI provider—and US law—concur on what ought to be out-of-bounds. Mass domestic surveillance is one obvious example! But the contractor can’t have procedural carte blanche to cut the cord
