*But why does the military need an AI company at all? Why don't they just
use their magical mythical AI that you are certain they have and is much
much better than Claude or Gemini or GPT or anything that civilians have? *

man is full of shit when he says that Anthropic is a "Radical Left AI
company" run by "Leftwing nut jobs" because they don't think an AI
conducting mass surveillance on the American people or an AI controlling a
lethal weapon without a human being in the decision pipeline are good
ideas, but you are physically unable to say so. *

* I think Dario Amodei knows more about what modern AI's are capable of

at $200 million government contract, not to mention the grief that being
stigmatized as a "supply chain risk" will caused his company.*
