Looks like the Friday deadline was set, because they needed anthropic for the attack?
Am I missing something? How would LLM be useful for operations like this?

OpenAI's Sam Altman says today that they're gonna take Anthropic's place on DoW classified networks (https://xcancel.com/sama/status/2027578652477821175#m).
Still, Anthropic being designated a "supply chain risk" is good news, as it means Claude cannot officially be used anymore by the Pentagon and by all of its suppliers. That's massive.
I caution against the enthusiasm here. As I understand it, the complaint wasn't that Anthropic didn't want to make autonomous weapons so much as that they wanted to retain control over the systems once they were sold to the government.
No reasonable government should allow corporate control over their military assets, and frankly, I trust Anthropic with control over weapons even less than I trust the Trump administration.
Good discussion of this on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47188473
I haven't read anyone say that it was about retaining the IP. Anthropic says, and others agree, that it would be totally irresponsible to use current frontier AI systems for lethal autonomous weapon systems -- even if you think that LAWS are okay. Current AI systems are far too error-prone.

The supply chain risk designation and threats of imprisonment are completely insane. It's effectively the corporate death penalty for Anthropic. I expect the stock market would be crashing right now if it were open.
