alt Hacker News> Concretely if you try to vibe-target your ICBMs Claude is hopefully telling you that that's a bad idea.
On the non-nuclear battlefield, I expect that the goverment wants Claude to green-light attacks on targets that may actually be non-combatants. Such targets might be military but with a risk of being civilian, or they could be civilians that the government wants to target but can't legally attack.
Humans in the loop would get court-martialed or accused of war crimes for making such targeting calls. But by delegating to AI, the government gets to achieve their policy goals while avoiding having any humans be held accountable for them.

I used to not be big on conspiracy theories. But I'm going to give this a shot because many of the old ones turned out to be true.
