*OK I can understand why the military doesn't like that, but you're not in
the military so why do you dislike it? I hope you're not one of those "my
country right or wrong" people. But if the military doesn't like Anthropic
then they don't have to do business with them, I have no problem with that,
but they did far more, they designated the company or supply chain risk!
The government is attempting to assassinate one of the most successful
and innovative companies in the country, do you really believe that is the
way to beat China?*

*And you never answered my question, who do you believe has a history of
telling fewer lies, the scientist Dario Amodei who is the head of
Anthropic, or the most famous twice divorced TV game show host in America? *
