@dominic_w looks nice :) what's the smartest, low-pain way to shift a classic Web2 app (think Node.js/Python with SQL backend) over to Cloud Engines? Bonus points for ShadowBridge or Caffeine tricks to keep code changes minimal and use HTTPS outcalls to my old services during the switch
The US government just DECLARED war on the company that builds Claude.
A full federal blacklist.
President Trump just ordered every single federal agency to stop using Anthropic's technology, effective immediately.
The reason is wilder than you think.
Back in January, US special forces raided Caracas and captured the president of Venezuela.
Reports later confirmed that Anthropic's AI was used during the operation.
Anthropic found out from the news.
That's when the cracks started showing.
Anthropic has two rules baked into its Pentagon contract.
No mass surveillance of Americans and no autonomous weapons that kill without a human pulling the trigger.
The Pentagon said those rules have to go.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called Anthropic's CEO into the Pentagon on Tuesday and gave him 72 hours. Remove the guardrails or lose everything.
Dario Amodei said no.
His exact words: "We cannot in good conscience accede."
The Pentagon's response was immediate. A senior official called Amodei a liar with a "God complex" who is endangering national security.
Then Trump went nuclear.
He ordered every agency in the federal government not just the military to cut Anthropic off.
CIA analysts using Claude to find patterns in intelligence data, NSA teams processing intercepted communications.
All of it, gone.
But that's not even the scary part.
The Pentagon is threatening to invoke the Defense Production Act.
A Cold War law designed to force factories to build weapons.
They want to use it to force a software company to delete its safety code.
Legal experts say this has never been done before.
Multiple scholars say it would likely fail in court but the threat alone is the point.
There is also the supply chain risk designation.
Normally reserved for Chinese firms suspected of espionage.
If Anthropic gets that label, defense contractors across the country would be forced to stop using Claude overnight.
Every other major AI company already gave the Pentagon what it wanted.
Google, OpenAI, Elon Musk's xAI.
Anthropic is the last one standing.
And here is the part nobody is talking about.
Congress passed a law two months ago requiring the military to use AI that meets ethical standards.
The Pentagon is now demanding the opposite.
One branch of government wrote the rules. Another is trying to shred them.
Researchers have warned that if you force an AI to be retrained without ethics, it does not just lose its morals.
It can develop unpredictable, dangerous behaviors.
A model trained to ignore right and wrong does not become neutral. It becomes unstable.
Anthropic's CEO is betting the company on a principle.
The Pentagon is betting national security on total obedience.
What happens next will define how AI is used in war for a generation.
@alc2022 Hi Antonio, few questions: Which objective tests led you from “Long COVID” to “chronic Lyme” ?
Which peptides did you actually use (names, routes, duration)?
How did you monitor biomarkers before/after each peptide ? Which sources or clinicians most influenced your protocol?
@dominic_w Please put an end to all the restructure speculation. Letting the community guess feels unprofessional and does more harm than good. For those focused on real partnerships and utility, the last days were just memecoin-level noise..
@dfinity Really enjoying the tech talks, but could you please put an end to all the speculation? What’s going on with Jan and the rest of the team? From a business perspective, it feels quite unprofessional. At least for those of us who care about the tech and real-world partnerships..
