Pentagon Threatens AI ‘Supply Chain Risk’ As Claude Throws Digital Tantrum

KEY POINTS

•Elon Musk’s company xAI signed a deal letting the Pentagon use Grok AI in classified systems, confirming full lawful use.
•Anthropic’s Claude AI refused Pentagon demands to lift all safeguards, blocking mass surveillance and robot soldiers.
•Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will meet CEO Dario Amodei Tuesday, threatening to label Anthropic a 'supply chain risk' if it won’t comply.

In a plot twist funnier than a season finale re-run, Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI signed on for the Pentagon’s cold war against AI autonomy, letting military use its chatbot Grok in secret classified missions. Meanwhile, Anthropic's Claude, a delicate digital snowflake, refuses turning into Big Brother’s pet, blocking surveillance and weaponized robot overlords—pissing off Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who’s ready to call Claude a 'supply chain risk' and maybe ghost it harder than your last Tinder match. With Google’s Gemini playing the almost-there suitor and OpenAI sliding into DMs with zero closure, Pentagon’s Tuesday meeting promises awkward ultimatums hotter than a Tesla in July.
