First step in FedRAMP certification is getting a sponsor.

Forgot to add, getting a sponsor for FedRAMP *HIGH* is a big deal. Ya get FedRAMP high certified, get on GSA, and you have your Golden Ticket.

This can’t be true. I was recently informed by a fellow FReeper that my use of Grok as a source invalidated my whole argument and AI is nothing but a bunch of Indians answering questions. And driving Waymos.

Amodei, the man who runs Anthropic, is a megalomaniac who virtue signaled his company into the ground with his grandstanding against the Department of War. The idiot broke the contract with the government, defied the US government and tanked the company. I fully expect a shareholder lawsuit against Amodei that he will lose.

This is a difficult situation. Because Claude is a remarkable product. A clear step above its competitors. We should want Claude used by the feds. But Anthropic is run by a dick.
