If a government AI kill switch already existed, would the current DOD or current administration have used it, or the threat of it, against Anthropic? Could they use it to coerce AI companies into behaviors that are counter to the public interest?AI Verified source (2026)

A web search found a TwStalker/X-mirror snippet that attributes the exact wording to Ramez Naam (@ramez): “If a government AI kill switch already existed, would the current DOD or current administration have used it, or the threat of it, against Anthropic? Could they use it to coerce AI companies into behaviors that are counter to the public interest?” The snippet shows it as a Ramez Naam post from about 4 weeks prior, which is consistent with 2026. I could not extract the live X page directly with the tool, but the mirrored/search result reproduces the quote verbatim and attributes it to him.
