Would somebody please explain why even contractors cannot use Anthropic? Trump’s order was…strange to me. Not every use of AI is for real time battlefield stuff. A contractor might want to just write code with the AI. Claude is currently the top coding AI product. Unless you’re writing code for mass surveillance and unsupervised autonomous AI missile strikes, I don’t see why the broad ban. Most contractors are not coding those two things.
And seriously, I would hope we are all against mass surveillance here? And AIs hallucinating target matches and deciding to kill an innocent? I understand the desire to have an unbiased AI on the live battlefield so that it does not wrongly refuse to do tasks soldiers need. If they don’t want to use the product in those cases, fine. But to mass ban the product for other uses, even for defense contractors, is very disturbing.

And BTW, OpenAI is extremely “woke”.
