About Claude AI - Claude Goes to War

The Pentagon calls Anthropic the most "ideological" AI company it works with. This week showed us what that looks like in practice — from every direction at once.


**In this episode:**

- Claude was used during the military operation to capture Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, and the Pentagon is now threatening to terminate Anthropic's $200M contract after the company asked questions about how its model was deployed

- Anthropic's head of Safeguards Research resigned, warning "the world is in peril" and that he'd "repeatedly seen how hard it is to truly let our values govern our actions"

- Former Microsoft CFO and Trump-era official Chris Liddell joins Anthropic's board the same week, amid a $30B funding round at a $380B valuation

- What the pattern tells us about where Anthropic is heading — and what it means for Claude users
