AI company Anthropic filed suit against several federal agencies and officials after being labelled a supply chain risk to national security last week.
Anthropic has sued the Defense Department and other federal agencies after the Pentagon announced last week it would label the leading AI company as a threat to national security and ban the use of its products for defense purposes. In late February, Donald Trump said he would also ban the use of Anthropic’s products across other federal agencies.
In its filing, Anthropic alleged that the federal government’s moves to ban Anthropic go beyond a normal contract dispute and instead represent an “unlawful campaign of retaliation.” The company said its “reputation and core First Amendment freedoms are under attack” given the government’s actions and sought to prevent the Trump administration from implementing the bans.
Anthropic said the supply chain-risk designation and messaging from the White House was already “jeopardizing hundreds of millions of dollars,” illegally ignored required procedures and overstepped presidential authority.
I’m switching but not because of this. Claude code seems better than the other AI code tools so far.
Also I don’t really have a choice it’s being forced on me haha
Which ones have you tried?
I tried windsurf for a while and more recently switched over to cursor. They were pretty similar. A little better than copilot.
Claude codes big thing seems to be longer running tasks. Like I told it to look at a ticket in jira and send me a pr when it was done and 4 hrs later I got the pr link and it was mostly pretty good. It was just a ticket to write integration tests but it was nice I didn’t have to do it.
I could have done it faster and felt better about it but I think the idea is that I work on something else while that’s happening
Is that how you usually use it? Just let it do its thing and not get involved?
