And Google and OpenAI are trying to catch up, but Anthropic's the winner.

So yes, there's alternatives, but I'm sure for the Pentagon and for the Department of Defense, they're like, well, it kind of sucks to have the best AI model in America.

It's not in China.

It's not in Russia.

It's not in another country.

It's in America.

We can't use it, but we'll use the second best.

I'm sure for them, that kind of irks them the wrong way, especially considering I'm sure there's creative ways that China or other players could figure out how to use Anthropic

for their use cases maybe with you know multiple accounts and i don't know i'm sure there's like ways to be sneaky about it and so wouldn't it suck if the us government got forced to like the department of defense got forced to use the second best model and then let's say china figures a sneaky way to use anthropic and have the best model wouldn't wouldn't be the greatest thing

I'm sure in their opinion.

So my personal opinion on this is basically Department of Defense.

Yes, I would like the best AI model to power the department that defends my country.

But at the same time, I can see where Anthropic's coming from as far as mass surveillance of Americans.

Nobody really wants that.

Why the government has those expanded controls is, I mean, you know, well, we all know the

and everything, you know, the Patriot Act and all that kind of all the controversy and drama that comes out of that.

So personally, I'm not a huge fan of being spied on by the government, but I know it's inevitable and there's probably nothing I can do about it.

So I'm not sure if having Anthropic in the mix versus any other AM model is going to change anything drastically.

So at the end of the day, as far as the military goes, I would like the best AI model to go to the military.

But anyways, I think right now with kind of this Vercept acquisition and the Pentagon dispute, there's a lot of pressure facing these AI companies.
