They don't. They want to punish a company for expressing values that introduce friction to the whims of the current administration.

No, stop, I understand the politics here, but I’m asking about the technical fundamentals.

LLMs produce output of unknowable and unpredictable accuracy, and as far as we know, this is a mathematically unsolvable problem. This shit should not be within 1000 miles of a weapons system. Why are we even talking about this?

		The DoD killing lots of people based on faulty intelligence - never! Joking aside, this administration clearly cares much less others. They don't care if innocent people are killed.

		You don't understand the politics if you keep asking about the red herring of technical limitations. Anthropic could have said "you can use our technology for anything but faster-than-light travel." The military administration would have said "you're not the boss of me," and the outcome would have been exactly the same. It's a hot-button issue, just like flag burning. Nobody ever really cared about flag burning. By the way, your "No, stop" was rude and unnecessary, and your comment would have been stronger without it.

		> LLMs produce output of unknowable and unpredictable accuracy So do humans. But humans might not follow illegal or immoral orders.

		In a sane world we wouldn't be, but Hegseth has been rather insistent for some reason.
