Defense contracting makes you rich and lazy. In the long run it is rare to see companies get sucked into defense contracting and stay relevant/on the cutting edge. We look at fighters and warships and think WOW! But the reality is that they are pretty far behind where they would actually be if there was a civilian purpose to them that mattered.

It’s not the defense contracts to Anthropic that hurt. It’s not being able to do business with anyone who does business with the DOD that hurts.

    This is why when ceos get summoned to testify they are always neutered and hat-in-hand humble. It’s trivial for the us gov to destroy any business unless you reach too big to fail status. Anthropic nor OpenAI is too big too fail yet.
