After the fossil gas contract with Musk's X, Anthropic is now signing a $13.7 billion compute deal over six years with Rum Group which operates the far-right Rumble video-sharing platform.
The new datacenter in Maysville is connected to the Georgia grid which runs on ~40% gas and ~15% coal.
If Anthropic had more genuine intentions about saving humanity, it would stop funding far-right groups as well as stop burning that much gas and coal.

“… pour tout pays souhaitant développer ou accéder à l’IA de frontière, c’est un signal majeur : la souveraineté technologique ne peut plus rester un concept”
“[Cette mesure] porte un coup à la rentabilité de modèles d’une valeur de plusieurs milliards de $ […] rendant le développement de frontière non rentable.”
“une série d’erreurs stratégiques et la dynamique de l’écosystème chinois ont déjà considérablement réduit l’avantage des 🇺🇸 sur la 🇨🇳 dans la course à l’IA.”

"Anthropic is helping the US National Security Agency deploy its powerful Mythos AI model for offensive cyber operations [... Anthropic] had installed about half a dozen staff within the NSA as so-called forward-deployed engineers to guide the use of the technology and customise models for specific applications“
