The ghosts of Gustavus Adolphus and Cardinal Richelieu: “there once existed an alliance between France and Sweden. We’re here to honor that allegiance.”

The hypothetical nuclear attack that escalated the Pentagon’s showdown with Anthropic Start-up Anthropic and the U.S. military are careening toward a clash over government use of artificial intelligence — and whether it should be allowed to kill.

"Experts say the outcome of the clash could shape the trajectory of the burgeoning relationship between the AI industry and the U.S. military, potentially signaling to other leading firms that the cost of doing business with the Pentagon could be losing control of their innovations."

This is very good news. Unexpected. France hardly buys defence kit abroad and Europeans hardly buy "French". That should change.

@demiurg.bsky.social Will we see more of this in Europe?

I have witnessed some of the baguettes, cheese and wine on board French military vessels and it’s always delicious and delightfully arranged

I, for one, would love to see this Bernadotte connection bloom.

France is hitting on Sweden for real: it wants to buy up to 4 Saab GlobalEye planes, hoping that Sweden will choose Naval Group‘s FDIs for its new frigate in exchange.

Now aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is visiting Malmö. A local newspaper reports ”1800 baguettes are baked on board every day”

Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War A statement from our CEO on national security uses of AI

Anthropic says that mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons remain the two sticking points with DoD. In turn, DoD says it has no intention of doing either, but appears to refuse to accept restrictions on use. www.anthropic.com/news/stateme...
