Anthropic claims Claude AI used for missile projects, global espionage

AI was used to develop missile guidance software in Yemen and to power cyber operations, a report alleges.

This part is really interesting. The UAE used Claude against Muslim Brotherhood A.K.A. "the Islamists".

I hope we have plans to bring back (brain gain) our people home.

Aselsan means Askeri Elektronik Sanayii
In English, “Military Electronics Industries”.

It’s primary aim is military .

I can understand them producing electronic gear and equipment as a sub contractor for health industry and other non military set ups. But to go in to a somewhat semi retail civilian industrial production arena would contain many unforeseen risks.
Phone market is a cut-throat market that has well established manufacturers with major markets very well shared among them. Breaking in to such markets could be both expensive and resource consuming , financially and from personnel point of view.

Good luck to them!

Its because every mobile has israels hand in it

Aselsan is very well suited to make the Turkish mobile phone and put its name on it. Telecommunications is one of Aselsans major businesses. Aselsan started with making the frequency jumping/software defined radio as a major job and the Stinger seeker around the same period of time.

Going forward militarization and weaponization of economies and everything around human life is inevitable. Aselsan's name will be a sign of reliability going forward. The Iron curtain of the past is being rebuilt in different ways. Perhaps anything with brains in it that is being sourced from unreliable makers will be banned from use inside a nations borders if you can make your own. Otherwise it is submission to the enemy and slavery for a nation.

We will probably say goodby to Iphones in a couple of years which I've never said hello to personally. All foreign makers may join the bunch once we can make our own.

 

[boredaf]

Unless that phone is ridiculously, impossibly cheap, or, every single foreign phone maker is banned from the country, it will barely reach single digit percentage of market share, let alone being a major player.

It can be useful for high ranking officers and members of the government. Apart from that, can’t see the point really.

An Israel-based fraud ring was recently dismantled; they had stolen 13 billion TL from people in Türkiye, including both citizens and foreign residents. There is virtually no cesspool of wrongdoing that Israel isn't involved in—spanning everything from microchips and software to hackers. We now need technologies that Turkish people can use with confidence. In the event of a war, I do not want the Turkish nation to be targeted via location data shared on WhatsApp (as has happened in Palestine). I cannot convince my relatives to stop using WhatsApp. We can only achieve this by developing a national mobile phone.

National like E Devlet?

Imagine a state where even official institutions lie to the citizens who pay their taxes. In any other country, this would cause an outrage, leading to numerous resignations or imprisonments. Yes, we are not a tribal state..

You are correct!
If you check on google you will find that Apple’s second largest R&D centre is in Israel with couple of thousand engineers employed..
Samsung, Sony, Huawei, Xiaomi, Nokia, Motorola all have R&D centres in Israel.
They are the people that develop the latest and most modern stuff all things related to mobile phones unfortunately.

You speak between you and your friend about special resin flooring. Go back to your search engine or your mobile and you will find that it starts giving you adverts of different companies near you that produces resin flooring.
(this and similar stuff has happened to me and my close friends many times)

Everything you say and do daily is monitored by “big brother” . So until mobile phones become free of foreign interference, and commercial greed of rich conglomerates we have a big problem to solve.

 

[Saithan]

Well. You'd have to go back to T10, 3210 phones to really limit your exposure. Also being able to take out the battery is an important security.

e-Devlet cannot transmit your real-time location data to Israel. However, WhatsApp can send your location data to Israel even without your consent.

whether an Aselsan made phone could ever reach the level of an iPhone. Of course not immediately. If it were that easy, dozens of countries would already be doing it. Consumer electronics are one of the hardest industries in the world ...hardware, software, ecosystem, marketing, global distribution, all of it takes years to mature.

But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. 25 years ago, nobody in Türkiye seriously believed we’d be attempting a fifth‑generation fighter jet. If you told people back then that we’d have our own UAV ecosystem, our own air‑defence systems, our own radar, our own EW platforms, they would’ve laughed and called it a waste of time. Yet here we are.

The same logic applies to a national smartphone. It won’t match Apple on day one, but talent grows when you give it tools, investment, and long‑term vision. Türkiye has engineers, designers, and software developers who can build serious technology if the ecosystem is allowed to mature.

Even if the first versions are basic, the pride of having a fully domestic phone — hardware, OS, security, everything ..would be huge. It’s not about beating Apple overnight. It’s about building capability step by step, just like we did in defence.

If we stay patient and keep investing, it’s not unrealistic that Türkiye could eventually produce a phone that stands on its own in the global market.

It's not about investment.

It's about what a "national" phone is. If we are interested in an encrypted phone that is a brick to outside, that is not a consumer product. A phone that is not part of the Israeli ecosystem is not a phone a regular person would use. We would still need tens of thousands of such phones to be given to government personnel, politicians, VIP individuals to shield them.

If we are talking about a shielded phone with a different ecosystem so that such backdoors wouldn't be possible, like certain Chinese spec phones, it needs to have a separate app market. And in doing so, you close the phone to rest of the world. So the said phone could never be a sales success abroad. Closed ecosystem phones that don't "subscribe" to existing ecosystems are doomed to fail unless they have a huge market to sell to. Most Turkish buyers want to be able to log in to instagram, tiktok and youtube. Fakes or copies of these apps would mean cutting the user from rest of the world.

I had a Nokia Lumia 15 years ago. Great phone mechanically, loved the UI. It didn't have any of the original apps, whole family crashed and died in 5 years even though it was supported by microsoft.

You don't only access foreign web services through apps everything works with web alone too FYI. I have no such app on my phone and I still use several of them.

If for some reason it becomes necessary to cut entirely off foreign software so be it, I would rather do that.
