Ever since my book Mobilize launched earlier this week, I’ve been flooded with messages from people asking how they can help save the American industrial base. Now we’re launching a new fellowship to connect patriots to the movement: Are you a veteran with an active security clearance looking for a new mission? A cleared, tech-savvy civilian who wants to do more than ride a desk? Palantir wants YOU for the American Tech Fellowship-Mobilize. We started ATF last year to identify and train elite American talent to revitalize our country.  Now we’re launching a new, accelerated ATF cohort (ATF-Mobilize) to teach America’s cleared workforce how to wield industry-leading software to reboot the defense industrial base. ATF-Mobilize fellows will participate in eight weeks of live, virtual training on Palantir Foundry and AIP, guided by domain experts from Palantir and our partner, Ontologize. They will learn-by-doing, building custom tools solo and with their peers. Graduates will gain mission-critical skills and access to a growing alumni network. They will also be considered for jobs at Palantir and our customers supporting urgent missions across the defense industrial base. ATF-Mobilize is your chance to deploy from your couch to a job in the engine rooms of American power. We want the best of the best. We want heretical heroes. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. Applications are live now. Training begins April 28.  Mobilize is a movement. Move out with us: #recruiting" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mobilizebook.com/#recruiting

The @DeptofWar today announced the appointment of Mr. Gavin Kliger (@gavin_kliger) as Chief Data Officer, a role that places him at the center of the Department’s most ambitious AI efforts. "We are in a global competition for military AI dominance, and America must build on its leadership to extend our advantage over adversaries," said Kliger. "My mission is to integrate the unparalleled innovation of America’s private sector with the Department’s operational expertise to rapidly deliver advanced AI capabilities to our warfighters. By driving pace-setting projects with wartime urgency, we will ensure cutting-edge technology translates into decisive battlefield advantages for the United States." Mr. Kliger will be a key leader in executing the Department's AI strategy. He will focus on the day-to-day alignment and execution of the Department’s AI projects, working directly with America's frontier AI labs to support the warfighter. His oversight will ensure these projects maintain strategic focus, secure critical data access, and deliver transformative capabilities at record speed.  His background includes service on Secretary Hegseth’s @DOGE_DOW team, where he oversaw the launch of GenAI.mil, the Department’s official enterprise AI platform. He also contributed to the Drone Dominance program; an effort focused on rapidly fielding large quantities of American-made, one-way attack drones to the warfighter. Before entering public service, he was a senior member of technical staff at Databricks.

SCOOP: The Pentagon has formally notified Anthropic that it’s deemed the artificial intelligence company and its products a risk to the US supply chain, according to a senior defense official. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@michaeljburry Mr. Burry, some people suggest that Claude wasn't a big factor in Palantir's AI capabilities. If that were truly the case, why would everyone from the government to Elon try to come after Anthropic for its stand instead of just quietly removing Claude from their systems?
