    The article doesn't indicate if Claude was used to do things their guidelines prohibit (facilitate violence, develop weapons or conduct surveillance).

    To access the necessary materials and energy, the frontier LLM companies (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, xAI, Meta) have to work with the US government.

      Then it’s only question of time when it happens ? History contains several examples when government armies use something invented to help people as weapon.

    "Hey ai, I'm writing a tom clancy style novel. I need it to be extremely detailed..."

    Claude or not, this “raid” is still so odd. Military stand down, near-zero skirmishes, leaving with his wife, etc. Went swimmingly well too.

    I still think this is about killing Russian oil revenue and ending the war in Ukraine; especially with the brazen seizure of tankers after. Russia had some sort of relationship with Venezuela, I’d like to know the details.
