Pentagon Designates Anthropic As Supply Chain Risk
Scott Aaronson delivered prepared remarks last Thursday critiquing the Pentagon's designation of Anthropic as a 'Supply Chain Risk' after a contract dispute over classified-use restrictions. He says the Pentagon threatened DPA seizure or business exclusion while OpenAI reached a separate deal, and Anthropic has filed suit alleging due-process and free-speech violations. Aaronson warns the move could chill U.S. AI-defense collaboration.
