He doesn't want to see it used for mass domestic surveillance.

He doesn't want to see it used in the context of making final targeting decisions without human intervention.

He dug in his heels again on Thursday.

And here we are on Friday at a deadline that Hegsap had given him during that meeting at the Pentagon.

And now Trump is saying Anthropic is basically going to be removed from all government agency work.

That's exactly right.

And other companies in Silicon Valley, AI developers have been keeping a very close eye on this debate as it's unfolded.

Before Trump's pronouncement, we heard from Sam Altman, the head of OpenAI, which is the maker of ChatGPT, big competitor to Anthropic.

He said that he agrees with Dario Amodi's red lines, even though Altman has been pretty friendly with the Trump administration and has done a couple of events with the president himself.

We also heard from the Alphabet Workers Union, which represents workers at Google.

There's been actually workers at a couple of Silicon Valley companies who have raised the red flag here.

But the union said that they are worried that if Google were put in the same position as Anthropic has been, that they would actually capitulate.

And they wanted to have some clarity from Google as to what exactly its policy is.

We have contacted Google and have not heard back.

That's exactly right.

There are three other companies that have these $200 million contracts with the Pentagon, like what Anthropic had.

So that would be Elon Musk's XAI.

Google with its Gemini AI tool and OpenAI.

They're pretty much out of the game at that point once the plane changes hands.
