The conversation here at Hill & Valley in part has been, of course, Anthropic's relationship with the Pentagon.

And what I had heard from a number of anthropic investors is that they actually cheered Dario Amodei taking not a moral high ground per se, but basically saying having that niche of having red lines is good commercially.

Now, the consequence of that action is that OpenAI came in and had an opportunity to do business with the Pentagon.

And I'd be grateful, you know, drawing on your experience in the Valley and as an investor on how you feel Anthropic handled that and then what OpenAI did coming into it.

So I had a tweet on Dario's comments, and it was very simple.

That was Coastal Ventures co-founder Vinod Khosla.

Anthropic has won a key court order pausing a ban on government use of the company's AI tools.

It follows the dispute between Anthropic and the Pentagon over the use of its AI.

Bloomberg's Katrina Manson covers defense technology and has the details.

This was a moment in time this week, but what do we need to know about it?

A lot of people weighed in on this.

Palantir has been one of the winners of the government's attitude towards working with the private sector and opined on it.

It's been a big week for you as well.

A new book, Project Maven, out in the world.

Thread that together where Palantir and the story that you're telling fits in today.

Bloomberg's Katrina Manson, author of that new book, Project Maven, hits the shelves this week.

Thank you very much.

Now coming up, Amazon is coming after Walmart in rural America.

We'll discuss why.

That conversation's next.
