The number one present and thing in the entire world I would ask for my birthday is if you could leave a rating and review on the podcast.

It would mean the world to me.

I would be so thrilled.

So if you haven't already, leave a review and I will be eternally grateful on my birthday.

All right.

Hope you guys all have a fantastic rest of your day.

Welcome to the podcast.

I'm your host, Jaden Shafer.

Today on the podcast, we're covering some big news out of Anthropic.

There's a couple pretty crazy stories going on right now.

The first, I think, is pretty exciting.

Anthropic has made a big acquisition.

They've acquired Vercept.

It is a computer use AI startup.

And this is right after Meta came and poached one of the founders of that startup.

So there's a lot of drama, but I think a lot of strategic advantage to Anthropic trying to get in and acquire this company.

At the same time, there is some pretty wild news with Anthropic right now.

They're in the middle of a high-stakes standoff with the U.S.

government.

The Pentagon basically, it came out that the Pentagon used Claude, kind of like Claude Code, basically, but their coding assistant.
