AI is fascism. full stop.
anthropic is just another cog in the fascist wood chipper that's eating away at our autonomy and choices.
with AI, all roads lead to fascism.
edit: my bad guys. I totally expected a group of technical engineers to see the general problem and not get sucked into the nuances of corporate greed and power. I swear I won't make the mistake of thinking software developers are intelligent enough to understand the problem before they attempt to solve for it again. thanks.
Could you elaborate on why this is? How are anthropics models fascism?
in 2024 Anthropic partnered with Amazon and OpenAI to provide Claude to US defense and intel agencies.
in 2025 Anthropic accepted $200 million from USDOD to use AI in military affairs.
in 2026 the military was ordered to stop using Anthropic services. two days later it was used in attacks against Iran.
also in 2026 an unsealed court filing found that Anthropic had an internal project called "Project Panama" which included the "effort to destructively scan all books in the world".
AI is fascism. full stop.
Trump eats hamburgers. Hamburgers are fascist.
