Judge Rejects Pentagon's Attempt to 'cripple' Anthropic

Saturday, March 28, 2026

Anthropic earlier this month sued the Department of Defense and a number of other agencies after Trump berated the company publicly and then Hegseth labelled it a "supply chain risk" -- the first time a US company has ever publicly received such a designation.

Judge Rita Lin on Thursday sided with the artificial intelligence (AI) company in an order finding that directives from President Donald Trump and US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth that all government agencies immediately stop using Anthropic tools could not be enforced for the time being.

Judge Lin wrote in her order that the government was attempting to "cripple Anthropic" and "chill public debate" because of the company's concerns over how its technology was being used by the US Department of Defense. "This appears to be classic First Amendment retaliation," the judge added.

The order means that Anthropic's tools, like Claude, will continue to be used in the government and by any outside company working with the military until the lawsuit is resolved.

So, it is ten years from now, and all American military might is AI connected, all can be fired and work independently, and someone hacks something, and our civilization is toast. People worry, perhaps with great cause, that the AI companies cannot be trusted, but hey, put all that power in the hands of a military led by another Hegseth...nightmare city.

And the Singularity gets ever nearer.

This is Corruption being done right in plain sight for all to see.
No need to even hide it any more.

Humans are their own worst enemy. Always have been.
