Tuesday, Feb 24 โ Hegseth and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei meet at the Pentagon. Hegseth's message: no private company gets to dictate terms to the U.S. military.
Wednesday, Feb 25 โ Meanwhile, rapper Baby Keem posts on X: "how do u fix openclaw internal reasoning leaking" โ casually debugging an open-source AI agent built on Claude in public. 1.2M views. The internet loses it. We love some of the Baby Keem songs, but what does he know about autonomous AI assistants? More than most.
Ok back to politics: The Pentagon quietly asks Boeing and Lockheed Martin to assess their exposure to Anthropic. The blacklist machinery starts moving.
Thursday, Feb 26 โ Jack Dorsey announces Block (Square, Cash App, Afterpay) is cutting 4,000 jobs (40% of the company) because of "intelligence tools."
Amodei publishes his statement: Anthropic "cannot in good conscience" allow its AI to be used for mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous weapons.
Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell posts the deadline: comply by 5:01pm Friday or be designated a national security risk. That evening, Sam Altman sends an all-staff memo: OpenAI holds the same red lines. An open letter begins circulating โ signed by employees at Google and OpenAI urging their companies to stand together. Pentagon's Emil Michael responds by calling Amodei a "liar" with a "god complex."
Friday, Feb 27 โ Altman goes on CNBC. The employee letter grows to 360+ signatures.
Trump posts on Truth Social calling Anthropic "Leftwing nut jobs" who made a "DISASTROUS MISTAKE." Orders every federal agency to immediately cease use of Anthropic technology.
The 5:01pm deadline passes. Anthropic doesn't comply. Hegseth officially designates Anthropic a "Supply Chain Risk to National Security," a label historically reserved for foreign adversaries, never before applied to an American company. GSA removes Anthropic from the federal AI testing platform. Musk posts "Anthropic hates Western Civilization."
Anthropic publishes a new statement: they're going to court. They note Hegseth doesn't have the statutory authority to extend the designation beyond DoW contracts. They will not back down. Then, OpenAI holds an all-hands. Altman tells staff the government is willing to give OpenAI the exact same protections Anthropic was just blacklisted for demanding. An OpenAI official adds: the deal fell apart because Amodei's blog posts "offended" Pentagon leadership. Not the red lines. The blog posts (lolll).
What. A. Newscycle. AI is inescapable in ways it seemingly never has been. And I'm not just talking about obvious ChatGPT posts. In 48 hours, AI became music industry news, employment news, national security news, constitutional law news, and front page news.

How are you feeling about the AI revolution?

MOMO on Instagram: "Thank you Keem, Kendrick and Dave for believing in me, empowering me and being the kindest people towards me. What an honor to stand next to you three and feel so much love and respect. It’s changed me forever and I won’t ever be the same.
A year ago I was so nervous, preparing to release my first ever solo song apart from my band @infinitysong. Praying everyday that I was doing everything right and that my efforts would mean something to people. Somebody tell that girl it’s all working out!!!!!!

One week. Two Americas. Here's what happened:
๐
Feb 1 (Sunday) โ Grammys: Billie Eilish and Kehlani say "f*** ICE." Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, Joni Mitchell, and more stars wear "ICE Out" pins. Standing ovations.
๐ฐ Feb 2 (Monday) โ Palantir Technologies posts record earnings: 70% YoY growth, $4.3B in contracts. Karp defends ICE work, invokes Fourth Amendment. Stock jumps 5%.
๐ Feb 3 (Tuesday) โ Wall Street celebrates. Cultural backlash simmers.
๐ Feb 4 (Wednesday) โ NYC Comptroller (overseeing $311B in pension funds) demands independent human rights assessment of Palantir's ICE work.
๐ Feb 8 (Sunday) โ Super Bowl LX: Bad Bunny's halftime show centers "Together, We Are America."
๐ฌ๐ง Feb 9 (Monday) โ Palantir announces ยฃ20M UK defense contract for AI-powered military wargaming.
TLDR: Artists protest ICE โ Palantir celebrates profits from government surveillance โ Investors demand accountability โ Culture promotes unity โ Palantir expands defense work internationally.
This isn't just about one company or one earnings call. It's about the gap between what we say we believe and what we're actually willing to fund.
I spent the week connecting these dots, from Karp's shareholder letter to the institutional pushback to the UK expansion nobody's talking about.

Billie Eilish & Kehlani said 'F*** ICE.' Alex Karp said Palantir is the solution. Who's right?

Still in amazement. Leave it to Benito to remind us that weโre stronger together. Community over everything! Muchas gracias, Rey ๐ฅนโค๏ธโ๐ฅ๐ต๐ท๐บ๐ธ
