Anthropic faces fallout across federal agencies from • Anthropic, the AI company behind the chatbot Claude, has publicly refused a Pentagon demand to remove safety restrictions on how its AI can be used (e.g., in fully autonomous weapons or for domestic surveillance). Anthropic’s CEO says the company “cannot in good conscience” drop these safeguards. • The U.S. government, led by President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, has escalated the dispute. They’ve ordered all federal agencies to stop using Anthropic’s technology and are phasing it out over six months, while labeling the company a potential “supply chain risk.” • Anthropic is now threatening legal action and argues that its ethical limits protect civil liberties and prevent misuse. Why it matters: This clash reflects a broader tension between AI safety/ethics priorities and national security interests — and could shape how future AI contracts with governments balance innovation, control, and public values. #AnthropicUSGovClash #BlockAILayoffs #JaneStreet10AMDump #MarketRebound #levelsabovemagical $ROBO $GWEI $ALICE
