The world needs to pay attention to this
Over the last few weeks, a major ethical debate has been unfolding in the U.S, and it concerns the very future of warfare.
The conflict involves an unprecedented standoff between the Pentagon and the AI company Anthropic (creators of Claude).
Anthropic held a contract with the Pentagon that included strict "red lines": their AI could not be used for mass surveillance of citizens nor for the development of fully autonomous weapons.
However, with the contract already in effect, the Pentagon demanded the removal of these ethical safeguards. When Anthropic refused, Sec. Pete Hegseth designated the company a "national security supply chain risk," and President Trump ordered all federal agencies to stop using Claude.
The government quickly moved to replace Anthropic's role with OpenAI and xAI.
While these are new contracts, they fulfill the same strategic functions but with a crucial difference: they have reportedly agreed to operate under the Pentagon’s existing policies, specifically Directive 3000.09.
Why is this a turning point? Because Directive 3000.09 does not prohibit fully autonomous lethal weapons.
It allows for "appropriate levels of human judgment," a vague term that the military interprets as allowing AI to trigger force independently once a mission is programmed. If a human programmed the AI to kill, it’s fine.
By accepting these terms, OpenAI and xAI are effectively removing the private ethical barriers that Anthropic fought to maintain.
Anthropic has now sued the U.S. government, alleging illegal retaliation for its ethical stance, a move backed by Microsoft, which warns of a dangerous precedent.
This is about more than just software; it means AI could soon make life-or-death decisions on its own.
We see the errors AI makes every day; these systems are nowhere near ready to decide the fate of a human life.
Global society must keep a close eye on this issue.
Lo que estamos viendo no es una cadena de hechos sueltos, sino un guion clásico de poder. Estados Unidos primero ha asegurado suministro y reservas de petróleo en Venezuela, luego ha atacado a Irán y, cuando el estrecho de Ormuz se cierra, el mercado hace el resto. Pánico, rutas alteradas, barcos esperando y el precio del barril por las nubes.
Por Ormuz pasa una quinta parte del petróleo mundial. Si se cierra, la crisis se traslada a todo: gasolina, electricidad, transporte, fertilizantes, alimentos, producción industrial... y se viene una inflación que golpea a casi todos mientras unos pocos recogen beneficios.
En esa foto grande, la crisis no es un accidente. Es un mecanismo. Y quien llega con reservas, control logístico y capacidad de fijar condiciones, convierte el caos en beneficio. Geopolítica pura. Socializar el coste, privatizar el beneficio. Estados Unidos en estado puro.

He documentado la desfachatez del streamer TheGrefg. En amarillo, los días que ha pasado en España; en blanco, los que ha pasado en Andorra.
Completamente al margen de la moralidad. (abro hilo)
“ In Washington DC, at a Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007, a man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, approximately 2000 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
After about four minutes, a middle-aged man noticed that there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds, and then he hurried on to meet his schedule.
About four minutes later, the violinist received his first dollar. A woman threw money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.
At six minutes, a young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
At ten minutes, a three-year old boy stopped, but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head the whole time. This action was repeated by several other children, but every parent - without exception - forced their children to move on quickly.
At forty-five minutes: The musician played continuously. Only six people stopped and listened for a short while. About twenty gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.
After one hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed and no one applauded. There was no recognition at all.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bell sold-out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100 each to sit and listen to him play the same music.
This is a true story. Joshua Bell, playing incognito in the D.C. Metro Station, was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people’s priorities.
This experiment raised several questions:
In a common-place environment, at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty?
If so, do we stop to appreciate it?
Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?
One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made…
How many other things are we missing as we rush through life?”
