Thanks - sorry, typo when i was shortening the title to get under the 80 character limit

I guess this comment got merged into a different thread (the times of india one). This comment was originally posted to this article's thread https://www.idnfinancials.com/news/61918/zuckerberg-has-fini...

This looks like a slop article. It seems to be referring (without a link) to https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/technology/tech-news/mar... which itself appears to be referring to this (without a link) https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta-to-create-new-applied-ai-en... Neither of these articles include the word "finished" in them.

Update: and fwiw here is Andy Stone saying it's false https://x.com/andymstone/status/2031129981267620314

This is the only sensible take. This article is based on an Indian publication. It is true we'll never get the full story but this is pretty weak.

I mean, I'll be happy when this happens but today aint it.

"US officials have written draft regulations that would restrict AI chip shipments to anywhere in the world without American approval"

"In order to strike a blistering 1,000 targets in the first 24 hours of its attack on Iran, the U.S. military leveraged the most advanced artificial intelligence it's ever used in warfare" "Embedded into [Palantir's Maven Smart System] is Anthropic's AI tool Claude, a technology that was banned by the Pentagon last week after heated negotiations over the terms of its use in war. Over the last year military planners have seen Claude, paired with Maven, mature into a tool that is in daily use across most parts of the military, according to two of the people."

Anthropic is a supply chain risk. Why on earth would they allow them to be used in such important tooling?

Anthropic was used in such important tooling. Why on earth would they then declare it a supply chain risk?

Have they even filed the forms yet or is this another instance of "let's tweet a thing and let some of the public believe Y (new) while X (old) is actually still true"?

Because then they get some form of control over Anthropic. Solely through the act of using it, they claim some form of ownership over it.

There’s no point in listening to anything this administration says. Top to bottom they all just say shit. Sometimes it’s true, sometimes it’s not. Sometimes it has some basis in reality and sometimes it’s wholly fabricated.

Hegseth called Anthropic a supply chain risk. This tells you absolutely nothing about if they are or are not actually a supply chain risk. It doesn’t even tell you if Hegseth thinks they’re a supply chain risk because, again, they just say shit.

Do whatever you can to stop the nightmare MAGA project they invented this week and ignore whatever they’re saying because it doesn’t matter.

The app also includes wide-ranging AppleScript support. Here is a Gallery of ways to interact with the app from the command line, including via Claude Code, OpenClaw, etc: https://currentkey.com/automation via AppleScript. Some commands include:

- Flash a custom image in the menu bar as a visual notification, for ANY reason, via AppleScript.

- Pull usage data like total time, per-app time, per Space time, via AppleScript.

- Navigate to a specific, named MacOS Space via AppleScript.

You can also have the app call its custom AppleScript on Space-change and/or active app-change events.

"On Friday afternoon, Anthropic learned that the Pentagon still wanted to use the company’s AI to analyze bulk data collected from Americans. That could include information such as the questions you ask your favorite chatbot, your Google search history, your GPS-tracked movements, and your credit-card transactions, all of which could be cross-referenced with other details about your life. Anthropic’s leadership told Hegseth’s team that was a bridge too far, and the deal fell apart. Soon after, Hegseth directed the U.S. military’s contractors, suppliers, and partners to stop doing business with Anthropic."

Wow. The headline is terrible and buried the lede.

"One authoritarian company won't get us there on their own, to say nothing of the other obvious risks. It is a dark path."

OpenAI President Greg Brockman was the biggest donor to Trump's super PAC in H2 2025, donating $25M https://www.techmeme.com/260102/p10#a260102p10

That line stood out to me too. I don’t care about any of these companies but one of them accusing another of being authoritarian and a “dark path” is quite ironic.

You could interpret it as saying that it's going to take two authoritarian companies . . .

From the article: "Arnoldo had filmed much of the incident, but agents had taken his phone. He used Find My to locate the phone — at a vending machine for used electronics miles away, close to an ICE detention center. The footage, which ProPublica has reviewed, backed the family’s account of the chase."
