The Pentagon Strikes Back: Anthropic, AI Contracts, & the Supply Chain Smackdown
Host Emily Laird rips into the Pentagon-Anthropic blowup like it is a courtroom drama written by sci-fi nerds and procurement lawyers with a Red Bull problem. This episode breaks down how boring contract language became a national security flashpoint, why terms like “autonomous weapons” and “mass surveillance” are doing a lot of dangerous heavy lifting, and how one “supply chain risk” label can turn an AI company radioactive overnight. Expect bureaucracy, brinkmanship, and a reminder that in government AI, the fine print is where the boss battle lives.
