Absolutely wild to me that this guy had nothing more important going on at 2pm yesterday.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth@SecWar

This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon. Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic. Instead, @AnthropicAI and its CEO @DarioAmodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives. The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield. Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable. As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives. Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered. In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service. America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.

My hottest shutdown take is that it will end the moment the political donor class is even slightly inconvenienced. Probably going to happen soon with flights.

@mhashemi Some people said they didn’t do the wiggle test but that is NOT TRUE.

It’s so scary to think that someday you’ll be in your last soulcrushingly unproductive meeting with no defined agenda and you won’t even know until after it’s over

Once again the “party of law and order” is conveniently ignoring that per the Constitution, Trump only had until midnight on April 2 to declare the tariffs an April Fool’s prank and institute takesies-backsies

I keep getting calls from all kinds of companies selling stuff (recruiting services, accounting, even VC cold pitches). No idea who they're getting my number, but it must be out there somehow. Anyone know how to go about removing it from wherever it's listed?

Calling it now. This “live forever” guy is going to die young in an extremely dumb way.
Bryan Johnson@bryan_johnson

Completed my first total plasma exchange (TPE). Removing all the plasma in my body and replacing with Albumin. This is different from what I did last year: removing 1 L of plasma from my body and then replacing it with 1 L of plasma from my blood boy @talmagejohnson_ . I gave my one liter of plasma to my father. This time around there's no blood boy involved. TPE removes all of my body’s plasma and replaces it with Albumin. The therapy objectives are to remove toxins from my body. The evidence is emergent. Others use TPE for autoimmune disorders, blood disorders, neurological conditions, transplant-related complications, and replacement of missing plasma components. As we normally do, we completed a bunch of baseline measurements before this therapy including toxins but other things too such as speed of aging, organ ages, microplastics and many other biomarkers. I'll do six total treatments. The operator, who’s been doing TPE for 9 years, said my plasma is the cleanest he’s ever seen. By far. He couldn’t get over it. When we finished, he couldn’t bring himself to throw it away. He was imagining all the good that it could do in the world. On people’s face as PRP therapy. In their body, rejuvenating organs. There is probably a path to auction off or donate my plasma on this next go around. Liquid gold. Remember that when my father received 1 L of my plasma his speed of aging dropped by 25 years and stayed that way for six months. We don’t know if it was from my super plasma or if it was from removing his plasma, but the results are interesting nonetheless. The whole procedure took just under 2 hours.
