Anthropic said no thx to Pentagon, OpenAI said deal, xAI already there—chaos

Two Twitter posts discussing a recent geopolitical/corporate clash involving AI companies and the Pentagon. The first post by Carlos E. Perez presents a comparative analysis of how three frontier AI companies (Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI/Grok) responded differently to government demands, with visual infographics showing their contrasting positions. The second post by Lisan al Gaib sarcastically comments on supporting Anthropic while simultaneously hitting usage limits with Claude Opus. Extracted text: Carlos E.
