For all the differences I have with Anthropic, I mostly trust them as a company, and I think they really do care about safety. I'm not sure where this is going to go. This is moving very, very quickly. I still think there's a lot of great steps that we can and should take right now, but absolutely we are running out of time. I'm Deirdrebosa with the take.
