The same AI that hit #1 on the App Store today was used to plan military strikes yesterday.
The Numbers
- Claude AI by Anthropic is now the #1 free app on Apple's US App Store
- ChatGPT uninstalls jumped 295% after OpenAI announced its Pentagon partnership
- Claude for Government shows 99.74% uptime on status.claude.com
- 94% of ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has stopped
- Oil prices are surging
What Happened
OpenAI signed a classified Pentagon deal. Anthropic refused.
Trump banned Anthropic's tech. Hours later, the military used Claude for intelligence assessments during Operation Epic Fury against Iran.
Today, Trump offered political risk insurance for ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
The Irony
The same AI millions are downloading to write emails is reportedly running military operations. Anthropic refused the Pentagon contract on ethical grounds. The military used it anyway.
We're not in a sci-fi novel. This is Tuesday.
