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.

On the one side, you have kind of this race to consolidate talent and accelerate talent.

technical progress, right?

So Anthropic is going to, with Vercept, acquiring Vercept and their team, they're going to get better at a lot of these computer use things.

But on the other hand, there's a lot of friction that they're seeing right now with the government who's trying to put those into national defense and other areas and Anthropic's kind of pushing back.

Honestly, this reminds me of like Google had a whole spat a while back.

It was kind of a vogue for Google and all their employees to say they didn't want to work with the Department of Defense and they had a big walkout.

And I'm
