About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of autonomous AI weapons and mass surveillance, focusing on Anthropic's Claude and its potential military applications.

Will Anthropic be forced to make a version of Claude for war? And does a new paper expose the risks of Claude agents, in both OpenClaw and the field of war? Plus, 5 more twists in the story of the Pentagon versus Anthropic + some AI lab employees, and a petition that could change everything, or nothing...
