Judge Blocks Pentagon's Effort To 'Punish' Anthropic With Supply Chain Risk Label

An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNN: A federal judge in California has indefinitely blocked the Pentagon's effort to "punish" Anthropic by labeling it a supply chain risk and attempting to sever government ties with the AI company, ruling that those measures ran roughshod over its constitutional rights. "Nothing in the governing statute s the Orwellian notion that an American company may be branded a potential adversary and saboteur of the U. S. for expressing disagreement with the government," US District Judge Rita Lin wrote in a stinging 43-page ruling.
