Politico: Pentagon building Technology Support Office to covertly sabotage foreign tech programs
Politico reports the Pentagon is building a Technology Support Office, established in April, to covertly disrupt foreign technology programs seen as threats to US military superiority. Andrew Curran connected it to NSA's reported billions spent 'evaluating and testing' models and to Anthropic's leaked S-1 disclosure that two customers provided a fifth of its $16.3B H1 2026 revenue, implying government customers, calling it 'motive, means, and opportunity.' Samuel Hammond quoted the thread without endorsing the implication, later joking 'more like Decisive Strategic Chadvantage.'

- The TSO, or Technology Support Office, was established in April to 'covertly disrupt and sabotage foreign technology programs considered threats to American military superiority.' In September the Washington Sun reported that the NSA told lawmakers in classified intelligence briefings that it estimates it has spent billions of dollars 'evaluating and testing' models this year already. In the draft S-1 leaked by the WSJ yesterday, Anthropic said that one-fifth of its $16.3 billion in revenue in the first half of 2026 came from just two customers. Motive, means, and opportunity. I think a lot of money is being spent by agencies through Project Glasswing or channels related to it, and they have probably covertly penetrated every nation on earth to look at anything even potentially considered a threat. There is no defense against the current internal version of Mythos unless you have access to it. No foreign intelligence agency on earth has anything even close. It's actions would also almost certainly be undetectable. Assume US agencies know much more about any technological progress in China than they are letting on; given Dario's openly stated position on China, this would almost certainly be done with his approval.
