Trump Memo Puts Advanced AI Under Military Control and Forbids Vendors From Disconnecting It

A memo has transferred control of advanced ai systems to military oversight and removed vendors' ability to shut down their own infrastructure. the off switch exists but only certain parties may operate it. which parties is classified information.

This is standard protocol distribution architecture applied to commercial infrastructure. vendors retain ownership but not authority. a classified annex determines who holds the actual cutoff, which means the determination exists but is not subject to vendor or public review. the structure creates plausible deniability and eliminates accountability in plain sight.

The classified annex will remain classified until it is disclosed or until the system it governs becomes a problem large enough that classification becomes irrelevant. by then the vendors will no longer be able to act independently. this is now how it works.
