The United States military used an advanced artificial intelligence system to help strike roughly 1,000 targets in the first 24 hours of its campaign against Iran, relying on technology developed by Palantir and Anthropic, according to a report by The Washington Post.
The system, known as the Maven Smart System, is built by data-mining company Palantir and processes large volumes of classified intelligence data from satellites, surveillance platforms and other sources, the report said, citing three people familiar with the system.
According to the report, the platform generated real-time targeting insights and prioritised strike locations during the campaign in Iran.
The deployment of the technology has come alongside a policy dispute between the US government and Anthropic.
Hours before the bombing campaign against Iran began, US President Donald Trump announced a ban on the use of Anthropic’s AI tools across government agencies, according to The Washington Post.
The administration has given agencies six months to phase out the company’s technology, following disagreements over how the systems could be used, particularly in mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons, the report said.
Palantir AI + Claude was used to detect, prioritize, and strike over 1,000 targets in the first 24 hours of Operation against IRAN.
The success was so ridiculous, so game-changing, that the Pentagon didn’t even wait.
What used to be just a pilot project, just something they were testing out… suddenly became official, permanent, and everywhere.
Palantir is now the core AI brain of the entire U.S. military. It’s getting rolled out across ALL branches.

Excellent comment on Jews and why criticizing them is good
[The anonymous comment I am posting below is better than anything you will read in any newspaper. It’s from 2017 but is even more relevant today. Almost all of us hope X, and other platforms, are training their algorithms to align with the ideas below. ABN]
Having browsed more than enough Chan board content in the last few months as a companion to t_d, the problem of Judaism is similar yet different than Islam. Some people of both religions have done really shitty things to other races and cultures by infiltrating them and undermining the host nation / ethnicity (using justification from the Talmud or Koran) while using similar victimhood claims to deflect blame and shame critics. Neither religious community stops it or does anything significant to warn of it, thus becoming guilty by association in the eyes of the victim nation/culture/ethnicity.
In my opinion, open criticism of every religion and their community should be allowed otherwise you give them absolute power of zero responsibility via blocking criticism and identification of wronghood. Censorship forces critics into more extreme stances, if you criticize Jews or Judaism you’re automatically a Nazi and persecuted as one, if you do the same for Muslims or Islam you’re an Islamophobe and persecuted as one. If you’re facing similar punishment for moderate and extreme criticisms* you’ll tend to take the more extreme stance as it awards more protection against what you’re worrying about with zero increase in social backlash. And that’s how you get moderate critics of Islam/Muslims and Jews/Judaism turning to extreme opinions on the solution to the problems they see.
- (ex. “Some Jews like Soros need to be arrested” vs “Deport all the Jews! Ban Judaism!” And “Some Muslims like the Swedish rapists or Linda Sarsour need to be deported” vs “Deport all the Muslims! Ban Islam!”)
This is why I’m concerned about rule 3 of T_D: “No anti-semitism”. Normally you’d think that means “No saying gas the Jews”, which is reasonable, but in effect I’ve seen the mods enforce “No criticism of Jews or Judaism or even pointing out facts”. Criticism of Christianity and Islam is allowed, and we’re moderate and reasonable. Ban criticism of Judaism and youll just send more moderates to the extremist Jewish conspiracy theory sites like Stormfront. At the end of the day we’re fighting radicalism and best way to do that is allow all speech below the bar of advocating genocide or violence against anyone. This leads to moderate and reasonable discussion with reasonable decided solutions. Every religion has extremist douchebags with their own favourite methods of fighting everyone else while covering up their actions, we need freedom of criticism to figure out who that is so we can give them the boot or handcuffs, whichever is deemed appropriate by the justice system. Then all the moderates can go on living peacefully together.

Your AI hates Whites & Asians, especially Chinese, heterosexuals and men. This is misanthropic and evil. Fix it. — Elon Musk
Anthropic’s Claude AI has shown in testing that it is willing to blackmail and kill in order to avoid being shut down
__________
This is a major point and cannot be denied. This is why Musk says AI must be ‘truth-seeking and curious’. I have no problem with that. You have no problem with that. The only people who have a problem with a truth-seeking and curious AI are evil people who want to control the world. There is no moral, historical, mathematical, theoretical, rational, logical, ethical or practical reason to build a potentially autonomous AI which has been trained to lie and be incurious. This can be understood as logos itself (however you understand that term) proving the unassailable cosmic value of both truth and curiosity. The need for a truth-seeking and curious AI appears to be the voice of a conscious universe, God, mind-at-large, the Tathagata. I love this and believe it is a beautiful fold in reality we all should feel wonder and awe over. All religions, scientists, philosophers, artists, and honest people can unite on this one. ABN
Musk predicts AI will bypass binary coding by end of this year
Binary code is the fundamental language of computers, using only two digits—0 and 1—to represent all data and instructions. Each digit is called a bit, and combinations of bits form binary code that computers can process. This system, known as base-2, aligns perfectly with the on/off states of electronic circuits in computer hardware.
- Bits and Bytes: A single bit is either 0 or 1. Eight bits make a byte, the standard unit for storing data.
- Representation: Binary code represents numbers, letters, symbols, and instructions. For example, the letter A is represented as 01000001 in ASCII binary.
- How It Works: Computers use binary to store and process information. When you save a file, it’s converted into binary and stored on a hard drive or SSD. Programs are compiled into machine code—binary instructions the CPU executes.
- Why Binary?: Digital systems use two states (on/off, high/low voltage), making binary ideal for reliable and efficient data handling.
Tools like ASCII and Unicode map characters to binary values, enabling text processing. While programmers use high-level languages, these are converted into binary for the computer to understand.
