<p>With the IPO on the horizon, Anthropic has to show that their models are significantly improving and are far better than other models from the competition while concealing that their business is economically unviable. They solve this conflict by throwing even more hardware resources at their models to upscale their "emerging capabilities" even more. At the same time, this effectively makes their offered services economically even more unviable. So they have to put in some hard limits, which they do by implementing "security guardrails", which incidentally usually kick in in non-security contexts.<p>Anthropic is primarily burning U.S. based capital and investments, from the administration's standpoint it's simply rational to stop letting non-U.S. actors burn this huge pile of U.S. capital. Of course, it's also a direct support of Anthropic by the administration (they are from the same social class) for their IPO: "These models have huge capabilities and are dangerous, we have to limit access", so that potential investors may conclude that an investment will surely lead to huge gains in the future. Anthropic is really good at marketing after all.</p>

<p>> And despite all this they've still held their two red lines<p>How do you know? What reason is there to trust a company like Anthropic? It's about money, a lot of money, and from a company's perspective there is no reason to stick to these claims while the competition doesn't care and can train and improve their models on the vast pile of data they receive while mass surveilling U.S. citizens (which clearly is a huge competitive advantage).</p>

<p>But in the end it's all just a deceptive theater.<p>While Anthropic publicly claims to refuse to help the MIC with warfare and surveillance, behind closed doors, Anthropic actively deploys its engineers and models to assist the NSA with espionage and offensive cyber warfare. Just look at the many contradictions:<p>* Anthropic secretly sent its own engineers directly to the NSA to deploy its (at that time unreleased) model "Mythos"[2,7]<p>* While the Pentagon has publicly labeled Anthropic a "supply-chain risk", the Trump administration has simultaneously been working hand-in-hand with Anthropic behind the scenes to secure its upcoming initial public offering (IPO)[1]<p>* If the U.S. government truly believed Anthropic was a national security threat, it would completely isolate the company. Instead, the Trump administration has actively encouraged major American banks and financial institutions to use Anthropic's models[1]<p>* Anthropic is heavily embedded within Palantir, the foundational data platform of the Military-Industrial Complex[3][4]<p>* Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense operates hand-in-hand with Palantir. Ukraine uses a specialized Palantir AI platform called PRISMA to fight Russian forces. Anthropic's language models power the text and data analysis within this system[4]<p>* Ukraine uses Anthropic-backed Palantir software in secretive command centers to coordinate its aggressive long-range drone campaign inside Russian territory[8]<p>* Anthropic’s CEO, Dario Amodei, has stated that the company will not allow its AI to power fully autonomous weapons that take humans out of the loop. However, in Ukraine, the AI functions as a decision-support tool. Because a human commander makes the final choice to press the button or launch the drone, Anthropic's terms of service are not technically violated. This allows Anthropic to protect its "ethical AI" brand while still letting its technology serve as a vital asset for Western-backed military operations[5]<p>Remember the Minab school attack, where the U.S. Military killed 156 civilians, including 120 schoolchildren[6]? Given all the evidence it's highly likely that Palantir and Anthropic played and still play a major role in perpetrating the war of aggression and all the crimes involved.<p>Personally, I find it morally unacceptable to use U.S. AI tools, because I do not want to support them financially and thus support the crimes they are involved in.<p>[1]: <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/blacklisted-ai-company-anthropic-white-house-ease-tensions-ahead-ipo-sources-say-2026-06-05/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/blacklist...</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/19/anthropic-dod-blacklist-court-opening-arguments.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/19/anthropic-dod-blacklist-cour...</a><p>[3]: <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/12/karp-palantir-anthropic-claude-pentagon-blacklist.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/12/karp-palantir-anthropic-clau...</a><p>[4]: <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/what-is-palantirs-prisma-the-ai-software-ukraine-is-using-to-strike-russia-11577108" rel="nofollow">https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/what-is-palantirs-prisma-the...</a><p>[5]: <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/news/statement-department-of-war" rel="nofollow">https://www.anthropic.com/news/statement-department-of-war</a><p>[6]: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Minab_school_attack" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Minab_school_attack</a><p>[7]: <a href="https://archive.is/DyuAv" rel="nofollow">https://archive.is/DyuAv</a><p>[8]: <a href="https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/palantirs-prisma-how-an-ai-software-is-helping-ukraine-to-plan-deep-drone-strikes-into-russia-14017721.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/palantirs-prisma-how-an...</a></p>

<p>Where actually went all the productivity gains of the last decades? Isn't that supposed to decrease the amount of labor we humans have to do eventually?<p>Most frequent answer to this is: "But look we have all the high tech everyone of us can afford easily". But that cannot be the answer, because even if I choose to live like a luddite hermit while working 40h a week, I'm still not becoming super rich or can afford a house, which people my age could do 50 years ago.<p>So the productivity gains went elsewhere. The question is, into whose pocket? I guess into the pockets of those people who demand we should work even more than 40h a week.</p>

<p>Am I the only one who sees striking parallels between being a Claude Code customer and Cuckoldry (as in biology)?<p>I mean, you are investing a lot (infrastructure and capital) into something that is essentially not yours. You claim credit for the <i>offspring</i> (the solution) simply because it resides in your workspace. You accept <i>foreign</i> code to make your project appear more successful and populated than you could manage alone. Your over-reliance on a <i>surrogate</i> for the heavy lifting leads to the loss of your own <i>survival</i> skills (coding and debugging). Last but not least, you handle the grunt work of <i>territory defense</i> (clients and environments) while the AI performs the actual act of creation (Displaced Agency).</p>

<p>Drawing two crosses on a piece of paper every couple of years has really nothing to do with democracy. Democracy is when one can vote on all topics on any level (local village, town, district, county, state, ...) using the computer at home. This is possible to implement using the algorithms/data structures available today. We actually do basically everything online today - except voting.<p>For instance, such a system would be immune to corruption. That's one of the major reasons such a system will likely never appear.</p>
