The US military reportedly used Claude, Anthropic’s AI model, to inform its attack on Iran despite Donald Trump’s decision, announced hours earlier, to sever all ties with the company and its artificial intelligence tools.

The use of Claude during the massive joint US-Israel bombardment of Iran that began on Saturday was reported by the Wall Street Journal and Axios. It underlines the complexity of the US military withdrawing powerful AI tools from its missions when the technology is already intricately embedded in operations.

According to the Journal, US military command used the tools for intelligence purposes, as well as to help select targets and carry out battlefield simulations.

        Actually, thanks for pointing that out. Thanks. That was not intended.

        Edit: Apparently, it came from my Microslop extension. Guess I accidentally overlooked that.
