Gott sei Dank haben wir Carlo Masala. Er hat mit messerscharfer Logik erkannt, wo geschwurbelt wird, und gleichzeitig mit dem Finger auf Moskau gezeigt. So war es dann ja auch.
Dieser Teufelskerl!

Thank God we have Carlo Masala. He has recognized with sharper logic, where is sworn, and at the same time showed his finger on Moscow. That's how it was.
Son of a bitch!
When a country prepares for war externally, it also builds up mechanisms of repression internally to silence critical voices and any possible opposition — usually under the banner of protecting democracy and freedom.

In dieser Zeit wurden laut @pressfreedom mehr als 250 Journalisten in Gaza getötet, fast alle Palästinenser. Mehr als in jedem anderen Konflikt seit Beginn der Aufzeichnungen. Was wir wissen, verdanken wir den wenigen, die noch berichten können und dabei ihr Leben riskieren. 3/5

Heute tagt Trumps sog. "Friedensrat" erstmals in Washington. Gaza steht im Mittelpunkt. Verkündete Milliardenhilfe, Stabilisierungstruppe, große Pläne. Aber bevor wir darüber reden: eine Zahl. 865 Tage. Denn so lange ist Gaza für unabhängige Journalisten gesperrt. 🧵1/5

The Pentagon just threatened to BLACKLIST one of America's most valuable AI companies.
Not Huawei or some Chinese chip maker...
It's ANTHROPIC. The company behind Claude. $380 billion valuation.
And the reason is genuinely insane:
For months, the Pentagon has been pushing every major AI lab to remove their safety restrictions for military use.
The ask is simple: let us use your models for anything that's technically legal.
Weapons development, intelligence collection, battlefield operations, mass surveillance of American citizens.
OpenAI said yes.
Google said yes.
xAI said yes.
Anthropic said no.
Not to everything tho. They were willing to negotiate.
But they held firm on two things:
They don't want Claude used to build fully autonomous weapons that fire without a human in the loop, and they don't want it used to mass surveil American citizens.
That's it. That's the line they drew.
But Pete Hegseth's response was to threaten to designate Anthropic a "supply chain risk."
Here's why that matters:
That label isn't a contract cancellation. It's not a fine. It's not a strongly worded letter...
It means every single company that wants to do business with the US military has to certify they don't use Claude anywhere in their operations.
8 of the 10 largest companies in America use Claude.
Defense contractors, government suppliers, enterprise companies with any federal exposure...
ALL of them would have to cut ties with Anthropic overnight or lose their government contracts.
A senior Pentagon official told Axios:
"It will be an enormous pain in the ass to disentangle, and we are going to make sure they pay a price for forcing our hand like this."
That's a US government official threatening to financially destroy an American company because it doesn't want its AI used to spy on American people.
And it gets WORSE.
Last week, Anthropic's head of safeguards research resigned.
His parting message: "the world is in peril."
Elon Musk - whose xAI already handed the Pentagon a blank check - is now publicly attacking Anthropic calling Claude anti-human.
And the Pentagon official told Axios they're "confident" OpenAI, Google, and xAI will all agree to the "all lawful purposes" standard.
So what you're actually watching right now is every major AI company in America quietly handing the government unlimited access to the most powerful technology ever built.
With no guardrails.
No limits.
No company-imposed restrictions on what it can be used for.
One company tried to hold a line.
But the government is about to make an example out of them.
If Anthropic folds, it's over.
Every lab just learned what happens when you push back.
And every restriction, every safety policy, every ethical guardrail these companies spent years building gets negotiated away behind closed doors the second the government asks.
If they don't fold, a $380 billion company gets made radioactive in its OWN country.
Watch what happens next.
Because whatever Anthropic decides in the next few weeks, it sets the precedent for how much control AI companies actually have over their own technology.
Turns out the answer might be: none.
