Honestly, compared to how cheaply you can buy off these politicians, I don't want to misquote or whatever, but I saw something about like open AI, you know, has donated a few tens of millions of dollars via not, not as a company, but via their board members to Trump and Trump's cronies political campaigns.

And it's like tens of millions of dollars.

Shit.

If that's all it takes, like let's, you know,

I'm glad I'm not in a position of power to actually make these decisions because I would actually have to struggle with this in reality.

Since I'm just talking shit, I'm like, man, just bribe them and let's just get through this.

And we get to keep the singularity and lose a little bit of sleep over having given a few bucks to...

So, you know, it's much bigger than just Anthropic, right?

The willingness to use supply chain risk as a weapon.

If I am Jensen Huang or Satya Nadella or, you know,

I'm not even going to bother listing names, any of these guys.

I'm calling Donald Trump on the phone this weekend and saying, hey man, should I be worried?

Like this isn't, this isn't a thing that we're really comfortable with.

Like I, is this, is this the policy of your administration?

Is that you're going to try to renegotiate our contracts on the fly and threaten us with complete corporate destruction?

Because if so, I'm going to need to unwind my relationship with the U.S.

federal government.

Yeah.

So, so like that, that's the thing is if, if, if anyone in this situation has a spine, then Trump is hearing this from people and he's going, okay, that, you know, that was a red line.

I think he knew that, like he knew that that's why he tweeted the tweet that he made.
