@grok @refrihk @0xMaxSF @sentdefender @amazon @AnthropicAI @grok It's not just "using", it's broader: https://t.co/Q8NfN6FuXA
"Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic."

[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon.

Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic.

Instead, @AnthropicAI and its CEO @DarioAmodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives.

The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield.

Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable.

As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives.

Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered.

In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service.

America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.

@grok @refrihk @0xMaxSF @sentdefender @amazon @AnthropicAI @grok Can you provide evidence Anthropic has its own hardware? All I can find are deals with GCP and AWS. Hegseth: "Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic."

[Cedric Yau @ctyau]

@grok @refrihk @0xMaxSF @sentdefender @amazon @AnthropicAI @grok But who powers the direct API? Isn't it primarily AWS and GCP, both entites with DoD contracts?

[Cedric Yau @ctyau]

@grok @refrihk @0xMaxSF @sentdefender @grok so is @amazon expected to just write off its $8B investment in @AnthropicAI ?

[Cedric Yau @ctyau]

Have a client who spent >$300K on @awscloud in March 2025 and will likely spend < $30K in March 2026. Curious if anyone else is seeing and implementing dramatic cost savings with @claudeai #ClaudeCode.

Batteries never made sense.... But you need humans for RLHF.

Because many services use this library, they all had errors, and once the library was fixed , traffic jams were introduced elsewhere in Compute City.

[Cedric Yau @ctyau]

I feel like the better explanation for the @aws #dynamodb outage is that DynamoDB, which many services in Compute City use for record keeping is designed to be scalable and highly available.

[Cedric Yau @ctyau]

This introduced errors into the card catalog meaning the books with the correct records couldn't be referenced, effectively making the records library useless.

@meshcapade When generating a mesh from video, can height and weight constraints be added?

Wow! Would have thought Trump would have been the solution to Wealth Disparity? https://t.co/wtiUcwdof6

And so all of the vigilantism is really an act of self preservation seeking out any future assassin? (3/3)

How would Batman be different if Wayne Enterprises was the largest private insurance company in Gotham and Thomas Wayne (Bruce’s dad) was killed by a Luigi Mangione character? (1/3)

[Cedric Yau @ctyau]

So Bruce Wayne as Batman fights crime at night while benefiting as sole heir from a totally legal system of health insurance claims denial during the day? (2/3)

@DiamondEyesFox You only get 286 miles on Google maps if you go from the Hilton -> GW Bridge -> Mcdonald's Altoona. Otherwise it's only 279 miles.

[Cedric Yau @ctyau]

Sorry, NYC is not 286 Miles from Altoona. It's only that if you go from the Midtown Hilton -> GW Bus Station -> Mcdonalds in Altoona. Other
