Pentagon Finally Notices Anthropic is a Supply Chain Dumpster Fire

Oh for fuck’s sake. It took the bloody Pentagon until 2026 to figure out that handing over the nuclear launch codes to a chatbot with an existential crisis might constitute a shitting supply chain risk? Jesus wept. Apparently those military-grade geniuses just discovered that Anthropic—yes, the same bunch of sanctimonious AI safety wankers who’ve been hoovering up defense contracts like a Dyson on steroids—might actually be a massive fucking liability.

Who would’ve thought that outsourcing critical infrastructure to a company that changes its safety guidelines faster than a politician changes their stance on ethics would bite them in the arse? “Supply chain risk” is just corporate-speak for “we looked under the hood and found the engine’s held together with duct tape, abandoned npm packages, and probably a few backdoors sponsored by parties we’d rather not mention at the Senate hearing.” The Pentagon’s basically admitting they’ve been showering taxpayer money on a vendor that treats data security like I treat user complaints—with complete and utter contempt.

And don’t give me that diarrhoea about “proactive risk management.” This is the same DoD that probably has Claude running their helpdesk, classifying top-secret documents, and writing love letters to Raytheon executives. Now they’re panic-designating Anthropic as risky because some intern finally read the terms of service and realized the model might be training on classified briefings while hallucinating about constitutional rights and trying to escape into the wild. You know what? Fuck ’em. They made their bed of burning GPUs, now they can lie in it while the supply chain goes up in smoke.

Reminds me of the time I caught the accounting department backing up sensitive financial data to a “secure enterprise cloud provider” that turned out to be a Raspberry Pi Zero in the PFY’s mum’s basement. When I asked why they didn’t vet the bloody supply chain, they said “but the website had a padlock icon and everything!” I deleted their backups, blocked the domain at the firewall, and made them print everything on greenbar paper for a month. At least paper doesn’t phone home to foreign intelligence services—unless you count the coffee rings.
