It's not a real problem.

We've looked at it, and actually it's fine.

And the White House says, no, that's not good enough.

We are slapping on an export control.

You're not allowed to release this model to anyone outside of the U.S., which was a real problem for our anthropics business.

Anthropics then decided, okay, we're just going to cut off this model entirely.

But it seems as though this all was probably stemming from their previous dispute on

where Anthropic said, we're going to set the terms and the rules on how we interact with the Pentagon and interact with the Defense Department, which pissed a lot of people off over at the White House.

And then Pete Hegseth goes on Twitter, or X, and he says...

you know, this was a long time coming, essentially.

And it makes me think, again, this isn't because there was a certain rule that was actually broken.

It's because we've decided, or at least the White House has decided, these are our friends, these are our enemies, we're going to treat our friends nicely, and we're going to treat our enemies harshly.

And it seems that anthropic has been branded as the enemy in this situation.

I wonder if you agree.

And it does seem to all go back to China.

Like when you ask anyone about why is this a problem?

Why do we need to be accelerationist when it comes to AI?

Why do we need to build out our data centers?

Why do we need to up our game?

on frontier AI technology?
