> You’ve got a vendor who could kill switch critical military technology if it’s used in a way they decide falls outside the scope of what they want.
If the DoD hires ACME to build some software to make widgets, and ACME uses Claude to build that software, where is the kill switch?
I guess the Claude model could hide a kill switch in the widget manufacturing code, but so could ACME's human subcontractor. Why is Anthropic being considered a supply chain risk here?
The model can refuse to build something, but it can't take back what has already been built.
