GTG-87001: Disrupting a Yemen-based guided weapons engineering cell using Claude to develop guidance software
Summary

We identified a cell of threat actors based in northern Yemen running three weapons development programs: a guided rocket that used a commodity phone-class flight computer with final-phase homing guidance; a multi-stage ballistic missile with a stated range goal above 2,000 km; and a multi-variant missile (referred to as the “R2000” set) that included a hypersonic glide vehicle variant.

The actors used Claude Code in place of human software engineers to develop the guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) software that steers and stabilizes a flying vehicle. For example, they used Claude to integrate an open-source autopilot onto a phone-class flight computer, writing the control and position estimation software, tuning the control settings, running a firmware build pipeline, and performing a flight simulation. The actors managed several Claude instances at once, assigning each one a role, much as a lead would delegate work on a small engineering team: the actors tasked one instance with writing the code, another with research, and a third with reviewing the code the first instance produced.

Our safeguards blocked many of their requests, but not all of them. The actors used a variety of tactics to evade our safeguards, including hiding their goals and the products the software was meant for, and they split their work across multiple sessions so no single session revealed their full intent.

These actors carried out a sustained effort to develop guided weapons, including using Claude to design guidance software. We do not have evidence the actors succeeded in fielding an operational device; but they did test-fire a guided rocket. This field test appears to have failed: within hours, the actors returned to Claude to work out why it failed.

We identified this activity as part of our internal investigations into suspected weapons development. We banne…

This is misogyny and anti-disability discrimination on par with old-timey doctors claiming women are prone to ‘hysteria’ and the vapours. It is unacceptable seeing this in any newspaper. UK philosophers should loudly condemn it as a whole, since it is authored by an ex-colleague. It is wrong

Why are young women using walking sticks?
A disproportionate number of Gen Z females are affected by vague syndromes and may be victims of social contagion

In 19th-century Paris, walking with a cane was a symbol of the dandyish flâneur, strolling elegantly around the city with an ironically arched eyebrow. In 21st-century Britain, canes are the unironic preserve of vulnerable looking girls.
Sometimes you see groups of them, each leaning on a walking stick as they edge gingerly along. Startlingly fresh-faced users have been visible at Pride parades for a while, and there are growing numbers on university campuses. The message sent to onlookers is about a life spent in pain; though what kind of pain, exactly, remains unclear.
TikTok has hundreds of videos on the subject: how to match your stick to your outfit, how to dance with a cane, how mobility aids can still look hot. And the trend is not just for walking aids

To point this possibility out tends to produce anger in those affected or those that care for them. Arguing that certain kinds of disability are socially created, particularly in females, looks at odds with the dictum that young women with chronic illnesses tend to be disbelieved by doctors, and that this is a very bad thing.
When talking about trends across huge populations, though, both things can be true - indeed, they might even be connected. And in the socially constructed case, we are still talking about illness rather than deliberate feigning. It's just that the source of illness is, in part, a story the sufferer has unconsciously learnt. And this is very good news. For unlike biologically fixed disorders, stories can be changed for the better, and happier endings produced for the sufferers concerned.
Rather than it being cruel to say this, in fact, it is cruel not to.
We owe it to potentially able-bodied young people to challenge their tendencies to neuroticism and fear; to get them out into the world as functioning adults, wherever that is possible. For their sake, we need to help them ditch the props, and - quite literally - to stand on their own two feet.

We've had fun with this, but it reveals the key to the reactionary worldview: the poor are the real elite, a class of people living a luxurious life of free everything. In that light, the bus isn't for people who can't afford a car; it's for people getting special treatment so they don't need one.
