  • The events are out of order, the bottom three events are:

    - Feb 27, 2026, 02:13 PM: OpenAI raises $110B on $730B pre-money valuation

    - Feb 27, 2026, 12:00 AM: Anthropic: Statement on the comments from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth

    - Feb 27, 2026, 10:14 PM: Dept. of War: Anthropic is a supply chain risk

    • I think this is the correct timeline tbh:

FYI an accurate timeline should use the correct name for the government agency: Department of Justice. Hesgeth is the Secretary of Defense.

Kind of odd it doesn't lead with the Anthropic statement predicting they were about be designated a risk because they'd refused to move past their red lines.

It looks to me as a consumer that the worst option for my consumption is asserted as the inevitable decision of purchase only by coercion.
