For quick context, this comes after this:

January 3rd: Anthropic’s artificial-intelligence model Claude was used in the U.S. military’s operation to capture former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. Claude’s deployment came via Anthropic’s partnership with data firm Palantir Technologies (PLTR.O) -WSJ via Reuters

At which point:

January 29th: The Pentagon is at odds with artificial-intelligence developer Anthropic over safeguards that would prevent the government from deploying its technology to target weapons autonomously and conduct U.S. domestic surveillance.

Followed by a resignation letter from an Anthropic Safety Researcher:

February 9th: “The world is in peril. And not just from AI, or bioweapons, but from a whole series of interconnected crises unfolding in this very moment,” Sharma wrote. He said he had “repeatedly seen how hard it is to truly let our values govern our actions” - including at Anthropic which he said “constantly face pressures to set aside what matters most”.-BBC

And another response from the Pentagon:

February 16th: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is “close” to cutting business ties with Anthropic and designating the AI company a “supply chain risk” — meaning anyone who wants to do business with the U.S. military has to cut ties with the company, a senior Pentagon official told Axios. The senior official said: “It will be an enormous pain in the ass to disentangle, and we are going to make sure they pay a price for forcing our hand like this.” -Axios

The U.S. is 66% Christian, so I guess roughly half of them are Christian Nationalists. I wonder if some denominations are more/less likely to be part of that group. Like, 22% of Americans are Catholic. Are they split down the middle too?
