What's been the most surprising?

What do you think the biggest learning has been?

Yeah, I agree.

I think this is a moment of optimism to see just how quickly things can shift when there's a sense of urgency and a sense of change makers.

I want to talk about AI and policy.

We had Emile Michael earlier, the Undersecretary of War for Research and Development, CTO of the Department of War here.

He was obviously in the news talking about Anthropic over the last week, but this isn't an issue.

It may have bubbled up to the mainstream news in the last week, but this has been an ongoing issue.

Let's just actually talk about anthropic and AI that's directly head-on right now.

And then we'll talk broader about policy in Washington.

What do you think, is there anything that founders should be thinking about?

People that want to sell to the government, work with the government, how should they approach it inside their own companies?

Maybe Anthropix are one-off, but you and I have been in Silicon Valley long enough to know that these issues tend not to come up and go away.

They tend to stick around.

What would you say to the founders that want to build for the national interest but, you know, still are coming from a Silicon Valley mindset?

What do they need to think about?

How should they talk to their teams?

You know, how can they build the products that are needed for our government to effectively have the best and most capable technologies?

That would be crazy, thinking no better than the State Department.

Yes, yes.
