Anthropic’s Claude sees ‘elevated errors’ as it tops Apple’s free apps after Pentagon clash

Anthropic’s Claude artificial intelligence models had “elevated errors” on Monday, as the app held its spot as the most popular free app on Apple ’s App Store. On Friday, President Donald Trump ordered every U.S. government agency to “immediately cease” using Anthropic’s technology. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on X shortly after that the Pentagon would be labeling the company a “supply-chain risk to national security.”

In my mind, software errors are divided into two categories:

1. Expected errors (think "user entered invalid data"), which are part of normal operation, aren't the developer's fault, and should be handled.
2. Unexpected errors (think "null pointer exception") are the developer's fault, likely indicate a bug, and are allowed to crash.

Tell me again how #American #lawenforcement is trained. Because their approaches to situations always seem to be the #gun, #ChemicalWeapons, and the truncheon instead of #deescalation. And in the face of #catastrophic #errors in judgment, they rely on paid administrative leave and #PublicRelations #fuckery, and vigorously defending their errors instead of soberly assessing their training, methods, and choices.

Coincidentally, I assume, Abhijit Rao posted on LinkedIn earlier today a very interesting blurb, reporting on his use of this condition handling structure in conjunction with LLMs.

(Works for me in an incognito window, but you may not be able to see past the first comment if you don't have a LinkedIn account.)

The blurb references this more detailed account of the work, which I haven't been through in detail yet:
