| It's quite obvious they just wanted to punish Anthropic, all this supply chain risk is a joke. |

| > The government is the one that said it didn't want/couldn't use this Technically, the Pentagon did. I don’t know if that’s legally binding on the NSA. |

| ▲ | rsfern 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | It is, but NSA reports to the director of national intelligence, not the defense secretary, so it’s unclear (to me at least) that SecDef’s opinion of Anthropic counts for anything here I guess DOD is large enough they have multiple parallel cabinet level positions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Agency | | |
| ▲ | derektank 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | It’s not as clear as that. The NSA director is also, traditionally, dual-hatted as the Commander of CYBERCOM and thus a flag officer reporting ultimately to the SecDef. The DNI is responsible for coordinating/funding national intelligence activities but ultimately a lot of day to day operational decision making tends to flow through the pentagon. They would definitely need to abide by DoD policy | | |
| ▲ | JumpCrisscross 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | > They would definitely need to abide by DoD policy The policy in question is a statement by SecDef being reviewed by courts. I think it’s fair to ask whether DNI is actually constrained by that, or if it’s a judgement call. |

| Normal military procurement is going to go through process and use the APIs that Anthropic gives them. The NSA just has to has to achieve the goal of getting the weights out of the target computer. |

| This is not surprising. Did anyone really think the government wouldn't lie? |

| ... as it has been designated as a supply chain risk. |

| ▲ | estearum 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | You have causality backwards USG signed a contract → USG wanted to coerce Anthropic into changing the terms post facto → USG decide to use supply chain risk designation to achieve this We know this for a fact because they simultaneously floated using DPA or FASCSA to achieve their desired coercion. |
