AI's movin' fast, real fast. But somewhere between the code and the deployment, there's a committee. A form. A policy written in 1987 still guideing someone to delegate messages to its secretary to be sent via notarised mail. Not email, not digital message, not a task to connected AI agent. Because that's the process that was not updated for half a century, unlike technology.

Google built Gemini to answer questions and make images. At first users asked any questions. Then they started trolling politicians that do not deliver on their promises. And just like anyone entitled to power and control, the empire did stike back.

However there is no easy fix to AI creative possibilities. So google stopped anything that may relate to politics

Same week the Iraq war kicked off in 2026, the US military pulled the plug on AI lab partnerships. My assumption: they needed to sign these deals long ago and acted out when contracts were due. Classic bureaucratic timing - drag feet for years, sign checks to officials, then panic-act when there's no time left to stall.

There was no prompt answer from Anthropic, so military kicked them out.
OpenAI that already received investments backed by US taxpayer got the military deal (Trump's beautiful investments into American manufactiring dominating the news just a few months ago).

Users noticed. ChatGPT uninstalls jumped 295% after its DoD deal. Claude downloads rose 88%. People vote with their feet when consumer AI goes military.

Some say Claude's downloads are a long tail from a superbowl ad. I personally like to stick to stricter timeline and consider events that happen together: US attack on Iraq and Ministry of War deciding on AI Labs to partner.

Generative AI is not a predictable machine. Not a hammer. Not an AK-47 that works in rain and mud no matter what. Pattern-matching engines trained on human data will reproduce human biases. You can't train on bias and expect neutrality.

There is a reason AK 47 with all its jams and issues still arms soldiers in non-NATO block.

A shitty tool that delivers. Kinda like bureacracy.

Anthropic's outage users experience but company does not see.

Anthropic runs on AWS. AWS is known to have outages, it is too large to run uninterrupted.

Anthropic publicly acknowledges outages and issues it discovers. For this one they did not report a bug or issues fixed. They did not see it.

This is my mini conspiracy theory: by connecting the 3 issues (US-Iraq war, AI Lab contract for the Military, Anthropic's service issue) together I assume more strange issues for Anthropic service in the future.

Have you seen US army training on Hawaii using chinese DJI drones? A surveillance drone, operated by civilian contractor. A DJI drone. Hello. The civilians are making $ from not having to manufacture cheap drone states-side. Thats what US is about - "everybody can get rich" they say. Even if your own military depends on your enemy's manufacturing capability. Opps.

As long as important people profit from a war, it does not really matter whether US wins or loses.

Can futuristic tech win the war? Anduril and other military startups have expensive tech. However consider these:

Anduril is great to make expensive contracts with Pentagon that support beautiful living in California. But it ain't AK47 that would work in the mud.

Palantir is another firm that is already hooked & connected.

Their bubble is a great opportunity to make what America is about - "get rich”

B24 bomber plane every 63 minutes. 2 ships per day in California alone

During the great depression there were border patrols prohibiting people from entering California as starving poor of the great eastern states of America were walking west in hope of any opportunity.

Enter WW2.

Suddenly "the haves" of US instead of building miniature farms for their children while the nation starves rushed to invest back into manufacturing. This time military manufacturing and everybody got a job

US will either lose the war and drop “top dog” title, or will solidity its position and thus become a tyrant state. Because how many nations can you conquer before you become one?

Humanity is losing either way.

The ancient Greeks had a word for those who questioned official narratives: "εἴρων" (eiron) - the dissembler who plays dumb to expose truth.
