I hope Anthropic sues Pete Hegseth. [View all]

Anthropic's CEO turned down the Pentagon's request to make changes to their AI software to allow AI to make life and death decisions without human oversight. They also refused to allow the AI to be used for mass surveillance

It's the responsible decision, but Anthropic was blackballed by the Pentagon. That much I can understand, but Hegseth took it further by saying that they believe Anthropic is a national security risk so not only can no government agency work with them, but any private company that works with them will be denied government contracts.

And for that last bit, Hegseth goes too far and should be sued. Anthropic made the moral choice and the Trump administration wants to destroy them for it, probably to set an example.
