notreallhereactually comments on Anthropic's Claude hits No. 2 on Apple's top free apps list after Pentagon rejection

Browsing Reddit and found this comment that greatly summarizes the whole Anthropic/Palantir situation. And it also makes OpenAI even more shady.

What you're looking at is a situation where a company raised legitimate safety concerns about how its technology was being used, those concerns were reported to the government by a partner with every incentive to do so, and the government responded with the most aggressive designation in its toolkit; it is one designed for Chinese telecom companies, not American AI startups. Then within the same news cycle, the government handed the resulting contract vacuum to a competitor that had quietly been positioning itself for exactly that outcome.
