Andrew Curran ✓ @AndrewCurran_ · 20h The White House has approved a secret $9 billion order for NVIDIA Grace Blackwell chips for US spy agencies, according to The NYT. Separately, the administration is finalizing a classified contract with Anthropic that would give the NSA continued access to Mythos, and future Anthropic models, despite the Pentagon's supply chain risk designation. [Embedded quote-card, styled as NYT text] "The White House has approved a secret $9 billion request to acquire the cutting-edge computer chips that America's spy agencies need to tap into the full capabilities of the latest artificial intelligence models, according to current and former U.S. officials."

Gustavs Zilgalvis ✓ @GZilgalvis "open source models are a risk to national security" ok, and? are you expecting me to care? because i don't. this is not about pros and cons. this is a religion. i don't care if open source models literally end the world, as long as the LAST STONE is chipped with model weights.

Tweet explicitly framing open-source AI advocacy as ideological/religious rather than a cost-benefit position — an extreme "open weights no matter the cost" stance, illustrating the ideological polarization in AI-risk-vs-openness debates that Nathan follows. Séb Krier's reply reads as satirical.

Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Geopolitical/military-tech tweet thread about a study claiming China can detect US Seawolf-class submarines via magnetic wake tracking, with commentary on implications for US deterrence over Taiwan. Not AI-safety specific but part of Nathan's broader geopolitical-risk reading.
