Wow what an absolute nothingburger of an article.
Someone at the Pentagon may have used Claude (maybe directly or maybe indirectly through a Palantir tool), to do something that may have had something to do with a really large military operation that involved possibly tens of thousands of people. Maybe. We don’t know. Did I say maybe?
Amazing. The rest of the article reads like filler from a college freshman when you’re required to meet a word count quota. A bunch of random factoids strung together.
I bet they used Claude to write this stuff.
What for? I can't believe they'd feed classified intel into it for suggestions (despite Hegseth saying everyone should embrace AI - I don't think things in the Pentagon are that bad just yet).
And do they have their own sandboxed version via Palantir?
Maybe it's something a lot more benign like it helped draft some of the press releases? /s
