This is the same archive site that uses its captcha page to hijack your browser to DDOS people the site owner doesn't like.

I'm disappointed people continue to use it, especially in unnecessary situations like this - the article is not paywalled.

That's indeed disappointing; I edited out the link. Thanks for the heads-up.

“Our nation requires that our partners be willing to help our warfighters win in any fight,” [Chief spokesman for the Pentagon Sean Parnell] said in a statement.

This send a very bad signal to AI companies: turn off the safety features, or we'll find a company that will.

Aside: what's up with this style of article title? Reaching a boiling point... isn't a thing that really happens. It's not even a reasonable editorialization, given how many times, apparently, the same thing can reach a boiling point without anything changing. Why can't the title be something to do with what happened, like "Pentagon and Anthropic clash over policy violations after Venezuela" or something? Like the titles in newspapers of yore.

I'm sure the answer is somehow 'clicks', of course. But I feel like I see dozens of these non-titles every day and maybe if everyone else also parsed them as pathetic then they'd gradually start to fade out. (Hence my complaining, to raise awareness or something...)
