Anthropic Vs. DoD
The Anthropic vs. Department of Defense clash is really confusing me. It's not that I find it shocking that the Trump administration is doing something that oversteps norms - that's expected.

Specifically, Ben Thompson from Stratechery, and Noah Smith of Noahpinion. I don't have a problem with disagreeing with either of them, but the force with which they're making their arguments makes me wonder if I'm missing something.
