▶ 1:21:07 Rory O'Driscoll That you have to have account control, and I think the two or three largest companies like Andwell will end up doing a bunch of scooping up over the next two decades because, and because I think the likely, unlike tech where a single…

▶ 6:34 Rory O'Driscoll It, it does, but oddly enough, I mean, again, as we saw back on the Pentagon thing, sometimes you can be too clever by half, and in a way, there's a constituency for whom the entropic position is entirely consistent.

▶ 12:15 Harry Stebbings Can you imagine signing up the Pentagon for like a thirty billion dollar contract when you're Andrew and you're like, yep, I'll take my 20%.

▶ 19:41 Harry Stebbings Whether you're Google, or whether you're Facebook, or whether you're anthropic fighting against the Pentagon, you get to a scale where it is impossible not to have that conflict.

▶ 32:46 Rory O'Driscoll So it makes sense for what the Pentagon's doing.

▶ 38:23 Harry Stebbings Uh, we have a two hundred million defense contract from the Pentagon, which is actually very sizable. 3 times in the scene
