Anthropic is pushing back against the Pentagon’s push for AI companies to allow the U.S. military to use their technology for “any lawful purpose,” according to a new Axios report. The government has reportedly made similar demands to OpenAI, Google, and xAI. An anonymous Trump administration official told Axios that one of those companies agreed, and the other two likely showed some flexibility. Humans, on the other hand, are reportedly the most resistant. In response, the Pentagon has apparently threatened to cancel a $200 million contract with the AI company.

10. The Bush family was not a fan of the show. In October 1990, then-first lady Barbara Bush called the show “the stupidest thing[she]had ever seen,” prompting the show’s writers to write a response from Marge Simpson, who insisted her family was doing what was best.

Jeff Greenberg Universal Images Group | Getty ImagesAt some point in the 1980s and ’90s, free hot breakfasts became a staple in the service industry. At many Holiday Inns and Hampton Inns, the lobby at 8 a.m. is a windmill of children in pajamas, exhausted parents, and lone business travelers jostling for position in front of the waffle maker. Meanwhile, self-serve cereal bars offer piping hot platters of Froot Loops, Lucky Charms and endless eggs and turkey sausages, steaming under heat lamps. For many, this breakfast is part of the attraction of traveling. It continues to this day, but in…

All hail Anthropic, the destroyer of everything. What an amazing service. It can wipe out Adobe by allowing you to design something better that has a much simpler commerce system, designed personally for you. That one is child’s play. ServiceNow may call itself the “AI Control Tower” to signify who is in charge, but the cognoscenti doesn’t regard CEO Bill McDermott as anything other than a salesman – even as he has won more business than anyone else from the pre-AI school and I don’t hear many complaints.
