Anthropic Stands Alone Against Pentagon Push For Lethal AI Capabilities

The Pentagon is threatening to end its $200 million deal with Anthropic after the AI firm refused to remove ethical guardrails that block its models from being used for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance.

Details:

  • Defense officials want an “all lawful purposes” clause for all AI contractors. It would allow broad military use. Anthropic is the sole major lab still refusing, maintaining bans on autonomous weapons and surveillance

  • Tensions reportedly rose after Anthropic checked whether Claude was used in a kinetic operation tied to Nicolás Maduro. Pentagon officials saw the inquiry as ideological. They also called it operationally intrusive

  • The military is looking at OpenAI, Google, and xAI as alternatives, since they’ve eased some safety limits. But ending ties with Anthropic is tough. Officials say competitors still lag behind Claude

This dispute reveals a growing split between safety‑focused AI labs and a Defense Department prioritizing unrestricted technological dominance.

How to Spot Scams in Seconds With Malwarebytes in ChatGPT

Scams are more advanced and harder to spot than ever. With Malwarebytes inside ChatGPT, you can quickly review links, emails, numbers, messages, and screenshots before you interact with them.

  1. Turn on Malwarebytes

    Launch ChatGPT and go to Settings → Apps. Search for Malwarebytes, then enable the integration. You need to do this once.

  2. Start fresh chat

    Enter a fresh chat so the request is clean and easy to follow.

  3. Add items to verify

    Paste or upload the suspicious content you want checked:

    • A link or domain

    • An email address, sender details, or the full email text

    • A message or SMS that includes an unknown number

  4. Ask Malwarebytes to run check

    Type a clear command that tells the tool what to do.

    Example prompts:

    “Malwarebytes, scan this link and tell me if it’s risky: [paste]”

    “Malwarebytes, verify this sender and message for scam signs: [paste]”

  5. Make sure app activates

    You should see the integration activate in the prompt bar. If it doesn’t, press the + icon and select Malwarebytes from the drop-down menu.

  6. Read results like checklist

    Malwarebytes will scan the details and return info such as:

    • Who the sender appears to be

    • Threat intelligence signals tied to the content

    It may also flag common scam tactics like urgency, fake links, impersonation, or credential harvesting.

  7. Report to improve future detections

    After you get the evaluation, you can tap on “Report as suspicious” to report:

    • Texts or messages

    • Phone numbers

    • Emails

Note: If a message asks for passwords, OTP codes, or payment info, assume it’s a scam and verify through an official channel.
