Master baker tier. Every paragraph earns its place on the tray.
Summary
A federal judge in California has blocked the Pentagon's attempt to label AI company Anthropic as a supply chain risk and cut government ties with the company. Judge Rita Lin ruled that the Pentagon's actions violated Anthropic's constitutional rights, calling the labeling an "Orwellian" attempt to punish the company for disagreeing with the government. The indefinite injunction prevents the Defense Department from treating Anthropic as a national security threat.
