Then, the #Sisters revisit the Anthropic case, examining the dangers of labeling companies as supply chain risks, the ethics of government AI use, and a preliminary injunction against the Pentagon.  They also discuss recent jury verdicts against social media companies in New Mexico and California and their potential to drive corporate change.
