A lot happened, but by today’s standards this felt like a quiet week.
The news has thankfully quieted down on this front, and is mostly about the lawsuit as we build towards a hearing next week, after which we will find out if a temporary restraining order or an injunction is on the table.

This was the worst week I have had in quite a while, maybe ever.
I’ve been trying to find a slot for this one for a while.
The attempt on Friday by Secretary of War Pete Hegsted to label Anthropic as a supply chain risk and commit corporate murder had a variety of motivations.
