The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield.

You might think using a hallucination machine was risking their lives already.

They are being issued a handgun which goes off on its own (which killed an airman in 2025), so that tracks.

The army's shiny new service rifle from SIG Sauer (in a shiny new caliber that nobody else in NATO uses) also got slammed by Army troops and gun nerds alike for a variety of reasons, so its not just AI that the brass is being braindead on.

(Meanwhile, the USMC told SIG to fuck off and stuck with their M27 IARs, which had served them well since 2011.)
