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…

Une critique de la critique des LLM. L’auteur s’en prend à la notion de « perroquets stochastiques », qui tend à minimiser la puissance de ces outils et risque de manquer les usages au travail et les moyens de négocier ou combattre les reconfigurations en cours. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
The Tyranny of the Stochastic Parrot: How AI Critique Became a Way to Not See What’s Happening Henrik Skaug Sætra1 Abstract: For years, critical AI discourse has found refuge in the “stochastic parrot” label to puncture hype. I argue this stance has become a professional comfort blanket that avoids engaging with how these systems are currently reshaping education, politics, and labor. We do not need AGI to achieve disruptive automation; we already have it. Using software engineering as an example – where agentic tools now generate a significant fraction of corporate code – I illustrate how AI increasingly functions as infrastructure rather than mere substitution. Drawing on Stephen R. Barley’s sociology and historical parallels like the Linotype, I show that “bottlenecks” and power are shifting. We are witnessing the proletarianization of high-skill work, where the autonomous creator is demoted to a supervisor of a machine that has swallowed their craft. To avoid complicity by omission, we must move beyond dismissive rhetoric and look directly at how these “parrots” are rearranging the workplace.

A red knitted cap with a pointed crown with a braided tassel. It's titled "Melt the ICE Hat" and it's by YarnCultMNn the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal and punishable by law to wear, make, or distribute. As purveyors of traditional craft, we felt it appropriate to revisit this design.

The sample shown was knit in Blue Sky Fibers Skyland for the DK version.

All proceeds from the sale of this pattern go to the LynLake community of businesses who will distribute the funds to those impacted by the actions of ICE.

Imagine doing a PhD in electricity, just so you knew how to blow up nuclear power plants and heavy water-producing facilities. “I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them... I am not a pacifist.” A profile in absolute courage.
The A.N.C., in a statement, called Dr. Christie’s role “in disrupting and exposing the apartheid state’s clandestine nuclear weapons program” an “act of profound revolutionary significance.”

From the doctoral dissertation he had written at the University of Oxford on the history of electricity in South Africa, Dr. Christie provided the research needed to blow up the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station; the Arnot coal-fired power station; the Sasol oil-from-coal facilities that produced the heavy water critical to producing nuclear weapons; and other critical sites.Many of his family members fought with the Allied forces against the Germans in World War II, and “I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them,” he said at a 2023 conference on antinuclear activism in Johannesburg. “I am not a pacifist.”
