About Claude - Claude Goes to War

Описание: SHOW NOTES

The Pentagon calls Anthropic the most "ideological" AI company it works with. This week showed us what that looks like in practice — from every direction at once.

*In this episode:*
Claude was used during the military operation to capture Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, and the Pentagon is now threatening to terminate Anthropic's $200M contract after the company asked questions about how its model was deployed
Anthropic's head of Safeguards Research resigned, warning "the world is in peril" and that he'd "repeatedly seen how hard it is to truly let our values govern our actions"
Former Microsoft CFO and Trump-era official Chris Liddell joins Anthropic's board the same week, amid a $30B funding round at a $380B valuation
What the pattern tells us about where Anthropic is heading — and what it means for Claude users
