David, what do you think? Go slow or speed up?

Well, Anthropic's interesting because they are, you know, it's like we have met the enemy and it is us.

Everybody's been after Anthropic because they have this really unique program called Mythos that is evidently just unstoppable once it gets going.

We've had a couple of CEO spotlights about this, but the banks are really worried.

So I think they're putting this out so that it takes some of the heat off them that's already there.

What has been your experience like here today?

Well, it's, uh, fantastic.
