Why do you think this is something that Polymarket offered in the first place?

Yeah.

And also, I mean, this did anger some lawmakers that these were questions that people are allowed to wager on at all.

How likely is it that you think that these sorts of bets will be allowed in the future?

These online prediction markets have been growing at sort of an insanely fast rate.

How do you think the current ethical discussion could shape how they grow in the future?

Okay, we'll see what happens there.

Let's move to our next story, which is that defense contractors are forced to drop Anthropic after a government blacklist.

So U.S.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced last week that companies that work with the DoD are not allowed to do business with Anthropic.

That would include using its AI model, Claude.

He designated Anthropic a supply chain risk to national security.

This comes after Anthropic asked for limits on how the Pentagon would use its technology.

They say it can't be used for mass surveillance of Americans or to create fully autonomous weapons.

Paresh, let's talk about what this designation, supply chain risk, what does that mean?

Yeah.

So what's your sense of how companies that have Anthropic and Claude sort of in their workflows, how are they going to untangle that from their work?

Yeah, you know, you mentioned OpenAI.

I understand the company says it will also not let its AI be used for surveillance of Americans or to direct autonomous weapon systems.

What's your sense as to why the government will work with OpenAI but not with Anthropic?
