TL;DR: Anthropic refused to sign a contract with the Pentagon that would have allowed the U.S. military to use all of its models without restrictions. Anthropic insisted on an exception, and brace yourself, that its models cannot be used: 1) for mass surveillance of citizens, 2) for autonomous killing. Now the administration is threatening that if the founder of Anthropic doesn't change his mind by a certain date, they will come after him.
Google, OpenAI, and Musk (Grok) have all signed the contract.
Following Sam Altman's announcement over the past few hours, people have been speaking out massively about cancelling their OpenAI subscriptions and subscribing to Claude.
Today, I m doing a slightly more relaxed and bizarre corner.
The internet is full of things that are either amusing or scary, but mostly things that capture something outside the norm (and over time, even these weird things tend to become normalised).
My name is F lix Isaac Cohen and I'm a 16-year-old founder. I'm currently working on MyHealth Cost Navigator (MHCN), a platform designed to analyse itemised medical bills, flag errors and give patients actionable next steps they can take to reduce their medical expenses - as well as help finding the most affordable medication options.
At the beginning of the year, 2 co-founders reached out to me because they wanted to scale their personal LinkedIn profiles. The reason: In a few months, they re planning to raise funding and believe their personal brand could help.
A few days ago, another founder contacted me with a similar intention, although he s not planning to raise funding. For him, LinkedIn has become the platform that generates the most leads. He doesn t particularly enjoy the network itself, but he still wants to keep building it.
