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.

ok real talk

I travel constantly and at some point flying just became dreadful? Like airlines will tell you a flight is $180 and then by the time you add a bag, pick a seat that isn't a middle seat in the back next to the bathroom, and god forbid try to bring your dog, you're at $300+ and you haven't even gotten to the airport yet

and then you GET to the airport. two hours early. Shoes off. water confiscated. elbow war with a stranger for three hours. even first class can't save you from that part. You're still in the same chaotic terminal as everyone else just with slightly better snacks

Anyway, I stumbled onto semi private flying a while back and I genuinely could not believe it was real. You pull up, park for free literally outside the door, walk in, board in 15 minutes, and suddenly you're on a small beautiful plane getting served champagne with your dog sitting next to you
