The AI Hype Index: AI Goes to War

The AI Hype Index: AI goes to war

An MIT Technology Review Hype Index item says Anthropic, OpenAI, and the Pentagon are competing over military AI use, with “AI goes to war” as the core claim. The RSS snippet names Claude, ChatGPT, OpenClaw, Moltbook, and RentAHuman, but the post does not disclose deal size, timeline, protest scale, or contract terms. The real signal is how fast model vendors are binding themselves to defense systems.

Why it matters: Featured at the floor on HKR-H + HKR-R: frontier model vendors tied to Pentagon use is a strong hook and a real industry nerve. HKR-K is thin because the summary gives no contract value, timeline, or cooperation terms.
