Anthropic says it will challenge Pentagon supply chain risk designation in court

While not exactly parallel, it seems slightly hypocritical that this is coming from the party of "a baker should not be forced to bake a wedding cake for a customer that they ideologically/morally disagree with."

I guess the rules are different if the customer is the government? If it's the government, then if the government doesn't get its wedding cake then the government can go so far as to prevent the baker from selling cakes entirely to any other customers.

		To this political faction, it’s different when the customer is the in-group.

I think the lower courts will easily find this is far beyond what the statue allows (and a free speech violation) but this Supreme Court will be eager to get back on Trump's good side and will stay the lower courts injuction.

That means at least a year to get it resolved, in the mean time practically all enterprise users will need to migrate off.

		I would be shocked if any of the liberal enterprises move off them due to this. Maybe if they have explicit contracts around it but I have no idea why else they would.

		I don’t think it’s actually going to be a big deal. Anthropic’s response to Pete Kegsbreath basically said the only limitation they expect is DoD contractors can’t use it on DoD missions, not a general ban. Now that’s not nothing but there’s a whole business world hungry to generate insane amounts of code for no reason, they’re ready to collect the token tax

Pete Hegseth (and Trump) are such cartoon-villain buffoons.

Anthropic is a "Supply Chain Risk" much the same as Rene Good was a "Professional Agitator" or "Domestic Terrorist".

I pray that Trump gets crushed in the midterms

I hope something really comical happens, that cannot be explained away by a bully, like Texas turning blue.

I just voted blue in Texas today, so we'll see. But, probably keep your expectations low(ish).

		Would it be the Senate seat that would be jaw dropping? Or what exactly should I follow?

It’s so embarrassing being an American and having these people as my representatives. Trump’s screaming about LIBERAL LEFT LUNATICS is just so insane. I feel like I’m losing my mind. How can any person think this is the guy they want representing them? The last year has really shaken my faith in humanity.
