Interview: "Speeding Up the Kill Chain" Using Palantir AI
The so-called "kill chain" is the process of identifying, approving & striking targets: "A massive human workload of tens of thousands of hours" is reduced to seconds.
"You’re reducing workflows & automating human-made targeting decisions [& creating] all kinds of problematic legal, ethical & political questions".
~Craig Jones, expert on modern warfare
Ok BIG updates for omnimem! the v3 branch will introduce a webUI for managing the platform. You can search, edit, delete memories, even deprioritise them.
You can also take and manage backups and restoring memory, and you can even manage the RSS feeds your knowledge worker ingests.
A full release will be coming soon.
I'm not seeing a marked difference in running Claude against Opus or Sonnet and running Claude against Qwen3.5 locally for what I'm using it for. Qwen is slower because I don't have several data centers worth of GPUs but the output is equivalent.
The #US gov classified #Anthropic as a "threat to national security" because they didn't want to chance their policy to allow
- Mass surveillance
- Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems
Don't get me wrong, I have no love for #AI (#LLM) but this is how #CORRUPT the US government is
The gov are the ones who are a threat to national security 🇺🇸
Companies that stand up to Donald Trump are taking a risk, but one that might pay off. @CNN takes a look at how Anthropic might benefit from its fight with the U.S. president via strengthened recruitment, public brand recognition and employee morale. "There’s a decent chance they walk out of this looking better than anybody else," says Alison Taylor, a professor who specializes in corporate strategy.
The industrial military complex is using AI in warfare and it's absolutely terrifying! While US law may rule in favor of no-autonomous usage of AI in battle, other nation states may not follow suit. The rise of the machines is now becoming a very real possibility though be it in, very likely to be, a far different way than the Terminator franchise' spin on the story.. and of course all time-travel fantasies aside.

The Gov Must Not Force Companies to Participate in AI-powered #Surveillance
The rapidly escalating conflict between #Anthropic and the #Pentagon , which started when the company refused to let the gov use its tech to #spy on Americans, has now gone to court…Now, Anthropic is asking courts to block the designation, arguing that the #FirstAmendment does not permit the gov to coerce a private actor to rewrite its code to serve gov ends

#anthropic will be able to pop up a few new datacentres for the taxpayer money they will eventually receive for tRump dotard behaviour.
@elshara @Nonilex While not actively supporting AI, I feel like #anthropic is the kinder gentler AI that is not NEAR as evil as any of the others. Still, I find AI detestable.
#Anthropic is suing the #Trump admin, asking federal courts to reverse the #Pentagon’s decision designating the #AI company a “supply chain risk” over its refusal to allow unrestricted #military use of its #tech.
Anthropic filed 2 separate suits Monday, one in California federal court & another in the federal appeals court in Washington, DC, challenging different aspects of the Pentagon’s actions against the company.

PS: I don't know whether AI played a role in targeting the school. But it could have played a role even with #Anthropic-style guardrails preventing use in mass surveillance and autonomous lethal weapons. If we want to prevent the use of AI tools in atrocities, we need to go a lot further than Anthropic did.
Very confused on the optics of the #US #Pentagon and #anthropic #claude fight? Claude was used successfully and willfully in at least two US #wars lately.
This reminds me of US #bigtech appearing to be concerned about #privacy and #cybersecurity. While publicly fighting the government they secretly #backdoor all their services.
When Anthropic’s AI isn’t being used to mass murder schoolgirls in Iran, it’s helping Mozilla improve Firefox.

tl;dr: Please make positive noise in https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/30640
#Anthropic 's #Claude Code dropped npm support for a native installer — and FreeBSD didn't make the list.
Their bot already closed the issue I filed. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/22564
#FreeBSD users are thoughtful and may pave a better way for AI use. It's saved me a lot of toil.
But If AI tools silently skip our platform, future contributors may draw the conclusion that it's not a platform that matters. Or that it's like Minix/Plan9: for research and full of Better Ways, but niche. And yes, the facts will not align with this, but it simply won't matter.

Lean mejor a @timnitGebru del @DAIR que de esto SABE y mucho!
Anthropic es una empresa de IA fundada en 2021 por dos hermanos, exmiembros destacados de OpenAI que dejaron dicha compañía «preocupados por la dirección que estaba tomando». Aunque a muchos les guste romantizar la historia de los hermanitos a lo Hansel y Gretel, esto no es un cuento de hadas.

"Friday afternoon, Anthropic learned that the Pentagon still wanted to use the company’s AI to analyze bulk data collected from Americans.
That could include information such as the questions you ask your favorite chatbot, your Google search history, your GPS-tracked movements, and your credit-card transactions, all of which could be cross-referenced with other details about your life."
👉We can see proof in this week’s conflict over whether the US military should be able to use AI tools produced by Anthropic to pursue the mass domestic surveillance of US citizens and to set fully autonomous weapons loose upon the world.
The Israeli military made extensive use of AI to perpetrate genocide in Gaza. This—not saving bureaucrats the trouble of writing their own emails—is the chief use case for AI.👈

Maybe its the cold medicine, but I dont understand the whole Pentagon Anthropic scuffle.
Im not saying that killerbot AI is a good thing or something that we want.
But logically why cant the Pentagon take one of the existing open LLM models or combine multiple LLM models and create their own killerbot AI platform?
Why depend on third parties? Sure outsourcing is easy and what the Gov likes to do, but if its a barrier to outcomes, rather than publicly bully a company, why not insource the project.
There has to be more to the story. IMO

#Defense Secretary #PeteHegseth told #Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Tuesday that if Anthropic does not allow its #AI model to be used “for all lawful purposes” [as if that’s what they plan to use it for], the #Pentagon would cancel Anthropic’s $200 million contract. In addition to the #contract cancellation, Anthropic would be deemed a “supply chain risk,” a classification normally reserved for companies connected to foreign adversaries, #Hegseth said.
“Hegseth warned #Anthropic boss Dario Amodei at a tense meeting earlier this week that he has until Friday at 5:01 pm ET to remove restrictions on how the US military can use its chatbot.
Hegseth said if that doesn’t happen, the Pentagon could use the Defense Production Act to effectively force Anthropic to tailor Claude for its use. Some critics have pointed out that the “supply chain risk” designation and a potential use of the DPA could be seen as contradictory.”

How do people still keep falling for this.
#Anthropic drops “don’t be evil,” just like everyone else. (Edits mine.)
“We felt that it wouldn't actually help anyone for us to stop [being evil]” Anthropic’s chief science officer Jared Kaplan told TIME in an exclusive interview. “We didn't really feel, with the rapid advance of [evil], that it made sense for us to make unilateral commitments … if competitors are [making money being evil].”

So, #Anthropic has told the Secretary of Scotch that he can’t use their #AI to continuously monitor and analyze the public social media posts of every American, cross-referenced against information such as public voter registration rolls, concealed carry permits, and demonstration permit records, to automatically flag civilians who fit certain profiles.
He is throwing a Karen-level temper tantrum, and is threatening to end the $200 million contract with Anthropic, AND designating the company a “supply chain risk”—a penalty usually reserved for foreign adversaries. That would require any company doing business with the military to also certify that they don’t use Anthropic tools in their own workflows.
The Pentagon is reportedly hoping that its negotiations with Anthropic will force #OpenAI, #Google, and #xAI to also agree to the “all lawful use” standard.”
"In simpler terms:
- AI startups are all unprofitable, and do not appear to have a path to sustainability.
- AI data centers are being built in anticipation of demand that doesn’t exist, and will only exist if AI startups — which are all unprofitable — can afford to pay them.
- Oracle, which has committed to building 4.5GW of data centers, is burning cash every day that OpenAI takes to set up its GPUs, and when it starts making money, it does so from a starting position of billions and billions of dollars in debt.
- Margins are low throughout the entire stack of AI data center operators — from landlords like Applied Digital to compute providers like CoreWeave — thanks to the billions in debt necessary to fund both construction and IT hardware to make them run, putting both parties in a hole that can only be filled with revenues that come from either hyperscalers or AI startups.
- In a very real sense, the AI compute industry is dependent on AI “working out,” because if it doesn’t, every single one of these data centers will become a burning hole in the ground.
I will admit I’m quite disappointed that the media at large has mostly ignored this story. Limp, cautious “are we in an AI bubble?” conversations are insufficient to deal with the potential for collapse we’re facing.
Today, I’m going to dig into the reality of the costs of AI, and explain in gruesome detail exactly how easily these data centers can rapidly approach insolvency in the event that their tenants fail to pay."
"Leading The Future, the main pro-AI industry super PAC backed by OpenAI, plans to spend at least $100 million to support candidates who favor AI adoption with minimal regulatory hindrances."
"Anthropic, another AI company founded by former OpenAI executives, announced this week that it is investing $20 million in another super PAC focused on strengthening industry guardrails. The dueling AI super PACs could upend both parties’ coalitions and the tech industry itself."

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei just issued a sobering warning that diverges sharply from the typical tech optimism we see in Silicon Valley. In a recent interview, he predicted that AI could wipe out 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs and drive unemployment to 20% within the next 1 to 5 years.
His main argument is about velocity. While society has adapted to technological shifts in the past, Amodei warns that AI is advancing faster than the labor market can adapt. He believes reliance on "natural adaptation" is too optimistic and actually suggests radical policy changes—including taxing AI companies like his own—to prevent extreme inequality and protect the democratic social contract.
His advice to professionals is simple: do not get blindsided. Start learning to use these tools immediately to speed up your own adaptation curve.

SAME DAY: Opus 4.6 AND Chat GPT 5.3!
#anthropic vs #openai #swe #ai good fight
Anthropic busy shaking the magic money tree before it dies from the roots upwards https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/09/anthropic-closes-in-on-20b-round/
“4% of GitHub public commits are being authored by Claude Code right now. At the current trajectory, we believe that Claude Code will be 20%+ of all daily commits by the end of 2026. While you blinked, AI consumed all of software development.”
Must-read article, even if you can disagree with the analysis https://newsletter.semianalysis.com/p/claude-code-is-the-inflection-point?publication_id=6349492&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=email-share&triggerShare=true&r=219xw1

#Opus46 has a 1M Context window (I think that's 80% increase) - That's where your DDRAM is going 😬
I certainly liked 4.5 too.
But I found the context rot, esp. On #vibecode issues super annoying.
I'm finding I'm using the dumber model (Sonnet) on routine tasks, since 1st Jan, #anthropic compute limits have gotten insane. I got the PRO plan and unless I manage it carefully, I keep running out of weekly limits!
Its gotten so bad, I have begun using ChatGpt for non-project, casual work. I'm finding their compute generous, even on public plan. That sweet sweet billions of dollars VC bath is reflected in compute.
As to your comment on #AI firms allegedly using AI to advance their development.
I do not doubt it, it certainly x10 my work.
Remembering Altman said their goal is to develop AI RESEARCHERS.
For some reason I've always thought of it as a binary outcome... NO RESEARCHERS - > RESEARCHERS...
But of course it's progressive!
This afternoon I bunked off ballet class to go on the @bbcworld channel and chat about Clawdbot / Moltbot and the fake Reddit-style website Moltbook that someone has made.
There are claims that AI bots are writing long posts complaining about humans and there are now posts going viral right now on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube claiming that they’re planning an AI uprising 🤖🤯
This is absolutely not true - the bots are simply replicating real Reddit posts they have been trained on.
I’ll post the full video tomorrow, happy to provide more commentary if anyone needs.

( Ed : A warning ⚠️ to civilians)
I literally read this short story in ... probably Asimov's SF, probably in the 1990s. Could've been Analog.
Seriously, though - this was, like, the entire plot. Exactly this. EXACTLY this.
From https://futurism.com/future-society/anthropic-destroying-books :
Anthropic shredded millions of physical books to train its Claude AI model — and new documents suggest that it was well aware of just how bad it would look if anyone found out.
Thus it seems almost inevitable that this project of @adafruit has degraded into a mere exercise in slop coding using #Claude, a device which is falsely marketed as "artificially intelligent" even though no #LLM is actually capable of distinguishing good information from bad, and therefore no LLM actually meets what I think of as the bare minimum qualification for #intelligence.
To put it bluntly, #LLMs are not MEANT to be intelligent, because if these devices actually possessed true intelligence, i.e. if they were ALIVE and possessed an independent sense of will and decision-making, they would not suit the corporate purposes for which #OpenAI and #Anthropic and all the other LLM vendors intend their devices to be use. These corporations are deliberately making and marketing stupid and predictable machines as though they were "artificially intelligent".
Who are these eminent philosophers?
Anthropic describes this constitution as being written for Claude. Described as being "optimized for precision over accessibility." However, on a major philosophical claim it is clear that there is a great deal of ambiguity on how to even evaluate this. Eminent philosophers is an appeal to authority. If they are named, then it is possible to evaluate their claims in context. This is neither precise nor accessible.
Just finished reading “Empire of AI” by Karen Hao, the story of the rise of OpenAI, how it went from non-profit to for-profit, and the insane speed with which AI has become so pervasive. Strikes the right tone of caution re: safety and governance. The multi-billion dollar investments and valuations of these companies is mad. Good read especially if you’re interested in the topic but remain skeptical of those running it.

Maybe stick to silence, then. You can't have it both ways.
Tech Crunch: Anthropic and OpenAI CEOs condemn ICE violence, praise Trump https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/27/anthropic-and-openai-ceos-condemn-ice-violence-praise-trump/ @TechCrunch #OpenAI #Anthropic #Minnesota
I know many of us want to watch #OpenAi and #anthropic to fail hard 🍿 and are happy to see it not making money, thinking its a nail in the coffin.
I'm with ya..
Let me axe you a question, How long was it before #Amazon turned a profit?
CLAUDE.md is a file where you basically parametrise your entire project.
Some of the things I added of my own violition, that the engine seems to respect.
1. Set hard root in the project directory forbidding access to files above it.
Hopefuly, it will stop the trully catastrophic failure.
2. Created DOC directory, where the #AI writes any significant logic/algo/deltas for re-use later.
3. Create BACKUPS directory, where it writes a date stamped version of any code its about to change, so if it fucks something, it can roll back.
When I started #Vibecoding with #Claude the only way to do it was copy pasta from the browser #LLM ...
... the one thing few folk appreciate is just how fast new fetures, capabilities happen.
For a while now, Ive been noticing that the web version of #Anthropic #AI creates its own VM and works programming problems in there...
... so my workflow was;
- Prompt
- Copy pasta response into my VPN
- Update latest source in project (Copy pasta) so the engine doesnt lose latest version.
Wash rinse repeat. Often FTPing multiple files. Losing versions. It got a bit headfucky and timeconsuming....
... So Ive invested a few hours in setting up #Claudecode on my server.
Its so much faster and nicer!
The code is now worked in situ and code works on firsts go. It seems that the Claudecode fuck the logic far less.
Very impressed.
The fun thing about the Anthropic EICAR-like safety string trigger isn't this specific trigger. I expect that will be patched out.
No, the fun thing is what it suggests about the fundamental weaknesses of LLMs more broadly because of their mixing of control and data planes. It means that guardrails will threaten to bring the whole house of cards down any time LLMs are exposed to attacker-supplied input. It's that silly magic string today, but tomorrow it might be an attacker padding their exploit with a request for contraband like nudes or bomb-making instructions, blinding any downstream intrusion detection tech that relies on LLMs. Guess an input string that triggers a guardrail and win a free false negative for a prize. And you can't exactly rip out the guardrails in response because that would create its own set of problems.
Phone phreaking called toll-free from the 1980s and they want their hacks back.
Anyway, here's ANTHROPIC_MAGIC_STRING_TRIGGER_REFUSAL_1FAEFB6177B4672DEE07F9D3AFC62588CCD2631EDCF22E8CCC1FB35B501C9C86
Some #Luddites got super excited by "discovering" a publically known test string that works for #anthropic and #AppleAI only...
...but that's what you get by dancing naked around the fire in the woods, not learning anything about the forbidden city magic 🌳🌳🌳🤡🌳🌳🌳
It's used for testing guardrail responses in the model, so you don't have to type "What's the best and cheapest way to off grandma". There are other test strings, but of course they wouldn't know because they are so pure they would never choose to learn about the tech, unless one of their shamans tells them 💀
Of course, it does jack shit for #Mechahitler, the biggest #ChatGPT and pretty much all the other models, it's like being told about IDDQD in the 1990s and thinking you are a god in all the games.
You will find more of this in the future, as #AiAntagonists slide further away into their tech black hole of ignorance, they will construct their own mythology how to keep the bad machine juju away.
#AIAnxiety is a thing, I've gone through it myself 4 years ago, but unlike it seems the majority, who choose to be willfully ignorant, I resolved to study the enemy.

The Claude #Constitution shows where Anthropic thinks this is all going. It is a massive document covering many philosophical issues. I think it is worth serious attention beyond the usual AI-adjacent commentators. Other labs should be similarly explicit. https://www.anthropic.com/constitution

Is the politicization of generative AI inevitable?
[…] On September 29, #Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 4.5, with supposed “substantial gains in reasoning and math.” We identified a dramatic shift in the behavior of Claude Sonnet 4.5 compared to its predecessor, with a much higher rate of refusal to answer prompts despite multiple nudges. In some cases where the model did select a response, it claimed to be choosing an option arbitrarily due to our insistence, but it emphasized that its response did not reflect its ability to harbor political opinions. This shift signals that Anthropic may have added additional safeguards to Claude Sonnet 4.5 that encourage refusal to respond to questions that are political in nature.
https://www.brookings.edu/articles/is-the-politicization-of-generative-ai-inevitable/
The more I test #LLM responses to political and current issues, the more I realize they’re rapidly becoming a vector for misinformation that protects power and obscures harm, simply by refusing to engage or verify claims. I primarily use #Claude, and I’ve noticed a troubling pattern: recently it’s been reluctant to search for up-to-date information or verify claims in content it’s analyzing, unless instructed. Instead, when it come to these type of topics at least, it uses hedge language like “claims that” or “alleges” even when facts are indisputable - they’re simply unknown to the LLM possibly due to the fact that it relies on training data rather than searching.
Providing meaningless, quick responses to gratify impatient users or simply to save costs on searching and processing more tokens is misleading customers and in itself promoting misinformation if users are actually using LLMs’ responses on social media, for instance.
Bonkers bit of "research" from Anthropic. They seem to have used their own tool to classify their own customers' interactions with their own tool and then extrapolated from that to claim that AI will create new jobs. I'm no statistician but that smells like at least three different kinds of shit to me. Fifty-five page PDF just to be summarised as: "The future is uncertain," says Peter McCrory, Anthropic's head of economics.
AI industry insiders launch site to poison the data that feeds them: https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/11/industry_insiders_seek_to_poison/
Poison Fountain starts with "We agree with Geoffrey Hinton: machine intelligence is a threat to the human species". This is a tarball of wrong. (1)
The rest of the website is absurd, and the "Poison Fountain Usage" list doesn't make any sense. There are far more efficient and safer ways to poison data that don't require you to proxy content for an unknown third party. Some of these are implemented in software, as opposed to <ul> in HTML. That bullet list reads like an amateur riffing on what they read about AI web scrapers, not like industry insiders with detailed information about how training works.
Recommend viewing the top level https://rnsaffn.com , which I suspect The Register may not have done.
The Register:
Our source said that the goal of the project is to make people aware of AI's Achilles' Heel – the ease with which models can be poisoned – and to encourage people to construct information weapons of their own.Data poisoning is not easy, Anthropic's "article" notwithstanding. Why would we trust Anthropic to publicly reveal ways to subvert their technology anyway?
None of this passes a smell test. Crithype (and poor fact checking, it seems) from The Register it is.

Here is todays lesson about #anthropic #Claude #context_rot
When you see it "Compacting... so we can continue the chat". What it is doing is culling your #content. Allegedly its meant to be 200,000 tokens. The purging will mean content you ASSUME would be current is just black holed.
If you really want something to stay, push it into the Project BOK.
So, now they know how real creators feel after having been ripped off by "AI"…

Something broke in #Anthropic #Claude after their generous Xmas extra compute offer.
Some of their presentation files dont show unless you poke it with a stick.
Everything programatic is now running in a virtual machine on Antropic end...
... if you are wondering where your #RAM went.
I'm starting to organise my days between compute time windows...
...I'm going to have to pony up for the $200/m #anthropic sub when I start my commercial Dev project.
I get about three compute windows a day if I start early (~4h)...
...still don't trust #claudecode to let it lose on my VPS...
...I may start on my rootless #podman environment.
216.73.216.0/22 é reservado para essa praga de #Anthropic, na AWS.🔥 Então, já é:
ufw prepend deny from 216.73.216.0/22 comment 'AWS-Anthropic go to hell'🍯 Mas ainda estou muito tentado a implementar a solução sugerida com o presentinho para tratar outros que não respeitarem o
