It was a summer like any other. There I was, at my lab bench at Sunnybrook Hospital, dissecting my third mouse of the day as part of my pre-med research on metformin and diabetes. It had been a great internship, and I was genuinely starting to picture myself on that path research, medicine and more patient-oriented care. But as I wrapped up my experiments one afternoon and walked through those ever-busy hospital halls, something quietly clicked: this wasn't it for me.

I loved the science genuinely. But what I loved even more were the people and the problems. The intellectual challenge of diagnosing complexity. The deeply human stakes. I just didn't need the blood and guts to get there.

TL;DR: Anthropic refused to sign a contract with the Pentagon that would have allowed the U.S. military to use all of its models without restrictions. Anthropic insisted on an exception, and brace yourself, that its models cannot be used: 1) for mass surveillance of citizens, 2) for autonomous killing. Now the administration is threatening that if the founder of Anthropic doesn't change his mind by a certain date, they will come after him.

Google, OpenAI, and Musk (Grok) have all signed the contract.

Following Sam Altman's announcement over the past few hours, people have been speaking out massively about cancelling their OpenAI subscriptions and subscribing to Claude.
