Anthropic has entered a partnership with Palantir and Amazon Web Services to deploy its Claude AI models for use in U.S. intelligence and defense agencies. This collaboration will allow Claude to process and analyze classified data within Palantir's Impact Level 6 environment, which is designed for handling sensitive national security information. Critics, including AI ethics advocate Timnit Gebru, have expressed concerns that this partnership contradicts Anthropic's commitment to ethical AI development, particularly given the company's history of promoting safety-focused practices. The deal aims to enhance data operations, identify patterns, and streamline document reviews, while ensuring that human officials maintain decision-making authority. Despite the potential benefits, the partnership raises ethical questions, especially as it aligns Anthropic with Palantir, a company previously criticized for its military contracts. Anthropic's terms of service restrict certain government uses of Claude, but the implications of its deployment in defense contexts remain contentious. Concerns about the reliability of AI-generated information, particularly in high-stakes environments, further complicate the narrative surrounding this collaboration.

(Hey, I thought Anthropic was going to be different.)
You pull some FISA court / Prisma shit to train on NSA captures? I’ll advocate violent revolution. Looking at you NSA board guy.
Why does the government need cloud services? Why does it need IT anyway? In the 1990s everything was paper and the services actually worked. Now things are in "the cloud". In the EU you get new digital identity schemes every year and it takes three months to register a new address (used to take one day in the paper days).
The next step is that AWS will scan S3 data used to train this surveillance model.
