Is Anthropic a big AI company? Seems bad this...

"I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic." - Defense Secretary Hegseth

Why is this happening? The trump admin/defense dept demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it without human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.
