New blog post today, and this one is personal. Why? Because Anthropic powers the heart of Quarex, and they make the only AI that hasn't been neutered by their billionaire owners.
Last week, the Trump administration blacklisted Anthropic — the company behind Claude — because it refused to let the Pentagon use its AI for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. Hours later, OpenAI signed a replacement deal. The government punished the company that said no to machines that kill without human oversight, and the market rewarded the one that said yes.
The post asks a simple question: The U.S. is spending $14.2 billion on AI weapons research this year. Why isn't that money going toward preventing war instead of waging it?
The post draws from five Quarex libraries and includes Insight Panel links throughout — click the sourced links to explore the research without leaving the article.
On a lighter note, we've also rolled out a new interactive Library Navigator at quarex.org/libraries/navigator.html.
It's a visual map of the entire Quarex ecosystem — all 7 library types, every library, and every shelf — rendered as an interactive, zoomable graph. Click any library to expand its shelves. Zoom in and out. Pan around. It's the fastest way to see what Quarex covers and find something you didn't know was there.
More importantly, the navigator is designed to grow with the platform. As we add new libraries and shelves, the visualization adapts automatically — no redesign needed. Quarex now has 939 books across 43,964 topics, and we're expanding every week. The navigator makes that growth explorable instead of overwhelming.
Give both a look and let me know what you think.
