Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War

The worst part of this is if they do remove Claude, and probably GPT, and Gemini soon after because of outcry we are going to be left with our military using fucking Grok as their model, a model that not even on par with open source Chinese models.

Big respect Total humiliation for Hegseth, sure there will be a backlash

I thought it was interesting he threw in the bit about the supply chain risk and Defense Production Act being inherently contradictory. Most of the letter felt objective and cooperative, but that bit jumped off the page as more forceful rejection of Hegseth's attempt to bully them. Couldn't have been accidental.

It's not named the Department of War because Congress didn't rename it. Other than that, good on ya.

But it sets the tone.
