The best fiction I’ve read about the GWOT was How to Make a Million Dollars in the Oil Market published in McSweenys in the early ‘00s

The funny thing about this demographic panic is that the Amish will likely be the largest minority population group in the US by 2050.

It’s such a freakish situation when the chief executive has little to no understanding regarding how the federal government operates.

J.M. Berger PRE-ORDER THE POPE'S HITMAN @jmberger.com · 01/03/2026
If the military is collecting this information about Americans, it's because they intend to use the military against Americans.
Anthropic’s team was relieved to hear that the government would be willing to remove those words, but one big problem remained: On Friday afternoon, Anthropic learned that the Pentagon still wanted to use the company’s AI to analyze bulk data collected from Americans. That could include information such as the questions you ask your favorite chatbot, your Google search history, your GPS-tracked movements, and your credit-card transactions, all of which could be cross-referenced with other details about your life. Anthropic’s leadership told Hegseth’s team that was a bridge too far, and the deal fell apart. Soon after, Hegseth directed the U.S. military’s contractors, suppliers, and partners to stop doing business with Anthropic. The list of companies that contract with the military is extensive, and includes Amazon, the company that supplies much of Anthropic’s computing infrastructure. The Department of Defense did not respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for Anthropic referred me to the company’s statement addressing Hegseth’s remarks.

I think it’s about employer withholdings, which is how the majority of us pay our federal taxes.

One of things that I’ve always said about security leaders that have no original ideas is that when they take over an organization they change the name or the uniforms just to “shake things up” or “make them great again” if you will. Make of that what you might. #departmentofwar
