Is it ever coming back?

I need to crash out. I did not think I need to crash out. I did not think this was going to take so long, and I this was going to take so long, and I this was going to take so long, and I genuinely really miss working with genuinely really miss working with genuinely really miss working with Fable. It's kind of crazy we can get a Fable. It's kind of crazy we can get a Fable. It's kind of crazy we can get a taste of something that powerful and taste of something that powerful and taste of something that powerful and just have it taken from us with no just have it taken from us with no just have it taken from us with no promise of if we'll ever get it back, promise of if we'll ever get it back, promise of if we'll ever get it back, much less how long it will take. We have much less how long it will take. We have much less how long it will take. We have had some promises throughout this. Like had some promises throughout this. Like had some promises throughout this. Like when the official press release came out when the official press release came out when the official press release came out from Anthropic, they promised us that it from Anthropic, they promised us that it from Anthropic, they promised us that it would take 24 hours for them to share would take 24 hours for them to share would take 24 hours for them to share more details, which never happened. It more details, which never happened. It more details, which never happened. It has been 11 days. That's a lot more than has been 11 days. That's a lot more than has been 11 days. That's a lot more than 24 hours. Or the managing director of 24 hours. Or the managing director of 24 hours. Or the managing director of international from Anthropic's statement international from Anthropic's statement international from Anthropic's statement that they are very confident that in the that they are very confident that in the that they are very confident that in the coming days the models will become coming days the models will become coming days the models will become available again, which was six days ago. available again, which was six days ago. available again, which was six days ago. Lack of statements from Anthropic Lack of statements from Anthropic Lack of statements from Anthropic doesn't mean there isn't anything going doesn't mean there isn't anything going doesn't mean there isn't anything going on from other members of Congress trying on from other members of Congress trying on from other members of Congress trying to bully the White House into giving to bully the White House into giving to bully the White House into giving them more information to actual lawsuits them more information to actual lawsuits them more information to actual lawsuits from customers of Anthropic who were from customers of Anthropic who were from customers of Anthropic who were using the Fable model for their work using the Fable model for their work using the Fable model for their work suing the government for these suing the government for these suing the government for these restrictions to crazy leaks about how restrictions to crazy leaks about how restrictions to crazy leaks about how this is affecting other labs with GBD 56 this is affecting other labs with GBD 56 this is affecting other labs with GBD 56 potentially being delayed until potentially being delayed until potentially being delayed until mid-July. This is unprecedented, and mid-July. This is unprecedented, and mid-July. This is unprecedented, and it's a huge shift in how we need to it's a huge shift in how we need to it's a huge shift in how we need to think about our tools. So where is this think about our tools. So where is this think about our tools. So where is this all going? Are we all going to have to all going? Are we all going to have to all going? Are we all going to have to move to open weight models so the move to open weight models so the move to open weight models so the government can't restrict us? Is this government can't restrict us? Is this government can't restrict us? Is this the end of AI development as we know it?

the end of AI development as we know it? the end of AI development as we know it? Is this the end of US dominance in AI? Is this the end of US dominance in AI? Is this the end of US dominance in AI? Where is this going? It's really hard to Where is this going? It's really hard to Where is this going? It's really hard to know, and I'm not going to speculate or know, and I'm not going to speculate or know, and I'm not going to speculate or guess, but I'm going to do my best to guess, but I'm going to do my best to guess, but I'm going to do my best to explain where we are now and what the explain where we are now and what the explain where we are now and what the impact is. All that said, if I'm going impact is. All that said, if I'm going impact is. All that said, if I'm going to have to run models locally, I'm going to have to run models locally, I'm going to have to run models locally, I'm going to need way more GPUs, and I can't to need way more GPUs, and I can't to need way more GPUs, and I can't afford that right now. So let's take a afford that right now. So let's take a afford that right now. So let's take a quick break for today's sponsor. You've quick break for today's sponsor. You've quick break for today's sponsor. You've already heard me talk about today's already heard me talk about today's already heard me talk about today's sponsor. It's WorkOS. They support sponsor. It's WorkOS. They support sponsor. It's WorkOS. They support millions of users for free, and it's a millions of users for free, and it's a millions of users for free, and it's a great platform, but I'm not here to talk great platform, but I'm not here to talk great platform, but I'm not here to talk about you or your millions of users. I'm about you or your millions of users. I'm about you or your millions of users. I'm here to talk about agents because agents here to talk about agents because agents here to talk about agents because agents have a really rough time signing up for have a really rough time signing up for have a really rough time signing up for services, and that's why WorkOS put out services, and that's why WorkOS put out services, and that's why WorkOS put out a new open standard AuthMD. And the a new open standard AuthMD. And the a new open standard AuthMD. And the standard is actually really, really standard is actually really, really standard is actually really, really compelling. It allows for agents to sign compelling. It allows for agents to sign compelling. It allows for agents to sign up for services on behalf of a user. The up for services on behalf of a user. The up for services on behalf of a user. The agent can register a full account by agent can register a full account by agent can register a full account by itself, or you can make an easy way for itself, or you can make an easy way for itself, or you can make an easy way for the agent to register and get claimed by the agent to register and get claimed by the agent to register and get claimed by a user. Both of these are built into the a user. Both of these are built into the a user. Both of these are built into the standard. There's a reason why companies standard. There's a reason why companies standard. There's a reason why companies like Cloudflare, Firecall, Resend, and like Cloudflare, Firecall, Resend, and like Cloudflare, Firecall, Resend, and more are already working closely with more are already working closely with more are already working closely with WorkOS on the spec, because it's so WorkOS on the spec, because it's so WorkOS on the spec, because it's so helpful to let agents go sign up and do helpful to let agents go sign up and do helpful to let agents go sign up and do things without having to go clear some things without having to go clear some things without having to go clear some weird form or hope computer using code X weird form or hope computer using code X weird form or hope computer using code X works properly for once. All of that is works properly for once. All of that is works properly for once. All of that is nonsense, and all of that nonsense nonsense, and all of that nonsense nonsense, and all of that nonsense existed because agents had to go down existed because agents had to go down existed because agents had to go down the same paths users did, because we the same paths users did, because we the same paths users did, because we built our off platforms around people.

built our off platforms around people. built our off platforms around people. And to be clear, that wasn't a mistake. And to be clear, that wasn't a mistake. And to be clear, that wasn't a mistake. People should be the core of off on most People should be the core of off on most People should be the core of off on most services, but getting an agent to fill services, but getting an agent to fill services, but getting an agent to fill out a form and pass a capture correctly out a form and pass a capture correctly out a form and pass a capture correctly is not the path we should have ever is not the path we should have ever is not the path we should have ever taken. And now we have a simple standard taken. And now we have a simple standard taken. And now we have a simple standard that makes a lot of sense, but that makes a lot of sense, but that makes a lot of sense, but admittedly would be hard to add to most admittedly would be hard to add to most admittedly would be hard to add to most off providers. Hopefully you listened to off providers. Hopefully you listened to off providers. Hopefully you listened to me in my previous WorkOS ads, because if me in my previous WorkOS ads, because if me in my previous WorkOS ads, because if you did, you're in luck. Enabling off MD you did, you're in luck. Enabling off MD you did, you're in luck. Enabling off MD in your WorkOS apps is literally one in your WorkOS apps is literally one in your WorkOS apps is literally one click. If you want enterprises and click. If you want enterprises and click. If you want enterprises and agents to use your service, look no agents to use your service, look no agents to use your service, look no further than soidev.link/workos. further than soidev.link/workos. further than soidev.link/workos. Let's start from the top. Fable 5 and Let's start from the top. Fable 5 and Let's start from the top. Fable 5 and Mythos 5 officially dropped on June 9th. Mythos 5 officially dropped on June 9th. Mythos 5 officially dropped on June 9th. They were incredible. I put out a video They were incredible. I put out a video They were incredible. I put out a video showcasing just how cool they were. I showcasing just how cool they were. I showcasing just how cool they were. I was actually live streaming showing off was actually live streaming showing off was actually live streaming showing off some of the cool things you can do with some of the cool things you can do with some of the cool things you can do with these models when the ban occurred, these models when the ban occurred, these models when the ban occurred, because the ban occurred on the 12th, 3 because the ban occurred on the 12th, 3 because the ban occurred on the 12th, 3 days later. I was running two $200 plans days later. I was running two $200 plans days later. I was running two $200 plans just to maximize my usage of Fable just to maximize my usage of Fable just to maximize my usage of Fable because I was so impressed with it, and because I was so impressed with it, and because I was so impressed with it, and then it was gone. And I will be real then it was gone. And I will be real then it was gone. And I will be real with you guys. I honestly assumed the with you guys. I honestly assumed the with you guys. I honestly assumed the ban would last the weekend and we would ban would last the weekend and we would ban would last the weekend and we would get it back the following Monday. It's get it back the following Monday. It's get it back the following Monday. It's been 11 days since. We've passed two been 11 days since. We've passed two been 11 days since. We've passed two Mondays since. We still don't have the Mondays since. We still don't have the Mondays since. We still don't have the model back. We don't even have a model back. We don't even have a model back. We don't even have a timeline for when we'll get it back. The timeline for when we'll get it back. The timeline for when we'll get it back. The alleged start of the drama didn't alleged start of the drama didn't alleged start of the drama didn't actually come from the initial reporting actually come from the initial reporting actually come from the initial reporting of jailbreaks. It came from a company of jailbreaks. It came from a company of jailbreaks. It came from a company called SK Telecom, which is a South called SK Telecom, which is a South called SK Telecom, which is a South Korean company doing internet stuff. SK Korean company doing internet stuff. SK Korean company doing internet stuff. SK Telecom's a really heavy user of Telecom's a really heavy user of Telecom's a really heavy user of Anthropic models. They've actually went Anthropic models. They've actually went Anthropic models. They've actually went as far as to invest over a hundred as far as to invest over a hundred as far as to invest over a hundred million dollars into Anthropic. It was million dollars into Anthropic. It was million dollars into Anthropic. It was alleged that when they got access to alleged that when they got access to alleged that when they got access to Fable and Mythos, that they were Fable and Mythos, that they were Fable and Mythos, that they were reselling it to customers in China who reselling it to customers in China who reselling it to customers in China who are banned from having access. Earlier are banned from having access. Earlier are banned from having access. Earlier in June, shortly after Anthropic in June, shortly after Anthropic in June, shortly after Anthropic announced Project Last Wing's latest

announced Project Last Wing's latest announced Project Last Wing's latest expansion, the White House asked expansion, the White House asked expansion, the White House asked Anthropic to revoke SK Telecom's access Anthropic to revoke SK Telecom's access Anthropic to revoke SK Telecom's access to Mythos, according to a person close to Mythos, according to a person close to Mythos, according to a person close to the AI lab. The company immediately to the AI lab. The company immediately to the AI lab. The company immediately complied, sources told Wired. And the US complied, sources told Wired. And the US complied, sources told Wired. And the US government did not threaten to put government did not threaten to put government did not threaten to put export controls on the model at the export controls on the model at the export controls on the model at the time. This is really important. time. This is really important. time. This is really important. Anthropic was told by the White House to Anthropic was told by the White House to Anthropic was told by the White House to ban this company, and they did. But this ban this company, and they did. But this ban this company, and they did. But this definitely put the government on high definitely put the government on high definitely put the government on high alert about the capabilities of the alert about the capabilities of the alert about the capabilities of the model and of the desire other countries model and of the desire other countries model and of the desire other countries had to access it. And it is a known fact had to access it. And it is a known fact had to access it. And it is a known fact that China is trying to do whatever they that China is trying to do whatever they that China is trying to do whatever they can to access these models in order to can to access these models in order to can to access these models in order to get enough data to distill and make get enough data to distill and make get enough data to distill and make their own things of similar their own things of similar their own things of similar capabilities. And this is a huge thing capabilities. And this is a huge thing capabilities. And this is a huge thing for Anthropic to just blindly comply for Anthropic to just blindly comply for Anthropic to just blindly comply with. As I mentioned before, this with. As I mentioned before, this with. As I mentioned before, this company invested a hundred million into company invested a hundred million into company invested a hundred million into Anthropic back in 2023, when that was Anthropic back in 2023, when that was Anthropic back in 2023, when that was like a meaningful percentage of the like a meaningful percentage of the like a meaningful percentage of the company. And part of that was so they company. And part of that was so they company. And part of that was so they could do a commercial partnership in could do a commercial partnership in could do a commercial partnership in order to make models better at order to make models better at order to make models better at telecommunication work. Anthropic hard telecommunication work. Anthropic hard telecommunication work. Anthropic hard cutting them off is kind of crazy, but cutting them off is kind of crazy, but cutting them off is kind of crazy, but that's how hard they were trying to make that's how hard they were trying to make that's how hard they were trying to make sure the US government knew that they sure the US government knew that they sure the US government knew that they would do what they were told to do. And would do what they were told to do. And would do what they were told to do. And it seems like it wasn't enough because it seems like it wasn't enough because it seems like it wasn't enough because these reports of a jailbreak that came these reports of a jailbreak that came these reports of a jailbreak that came from Amazon and made their way all the from Amazon and made their way all the from Amazon and made their way all the way over to the government resulted in way over to the government resulted in way over to the government resulted in the ban. Recent reports have indicated the ban. Recent reports have indicated the ban. Recent reports have indicated that Amazon has actually tried to that Amazon has actually tried to that Amazon has actually tried to contact Anthropic about this, and contact Anthropic about this, and contact Anthropic about this, and Anthropic refused to respond. Why would Anthropic refused to respond. Why would Anthropic refused to respond. Why would Anthropic not respond and not Anthropic not respond and not Anthropic not respond and not acknowledge these jailbreaks? We could acknowledge these jailbreaks? We could acknowledge these jailbreaks? We could debate the reasons why all we want, but debate the reasons why all we want, but debate the reasons why all we want, but it really comes down to this paragraph it really comes down to this paragraph it really comes down to this paragraph from Anthropic's announcement. The from Anthropic's announcement. The from Anthropic's announcement. The government has only given us verbal government has only given us verbal government has only given us verbal evidence of a potential narrow,

evidence of a potential narrow, evidence of a potential narrow, non-universal jailbreak, which non-universal jailbreak, which non-universal jailbreak, which essentially consists of asking the model essentially consists of asking the model essentially consists of asking the model to read a code base and fix software to read a code base and fix software to read a code base and fix software flaws. Our understanding is that one flaws. Our understanding is that one flaws. Our understanding is that one potential jailbreak was shared with the potential jailbreak was shared with the potential jailbreak was shared with the government. We reviewed a report that we government. We reviewed a report that we government. We reviewed a report that we believe is the basis of the government's believe is the basis of the government's believe is the basis of the government's directive and validated that the level directive and validated that the level directive and validated that the level of capabilities displayed there is of capabilities displayed there is of capabilities displayed there is widely available from other models, widely available from other models, widely available from other models, including OpenAI's GPT-5.5, and is used including OpenAI's GPT-5.5, and is used including OpenAI's GPT-5.5, and is used every day by the defenders who keep every day by the defenders who keep every day by the defenders who keep systems safe. This is really key. It systems safe. This is really key. It systems safe. This is really key. It seems as though the jailbreak wasn't seems as though the jailbreak wasn't seems as though the jailbreak wasn't like, "Oh, if you use these special like, "Oh, if you use these special like, "Oh, if you use these special characters or these special phrases, you characters or these special phrases, you characters or these special phrases, you can get the model to hack things when can get the model to hack things when can get the model to hack things when otherwise it would say no." It seems otherwise it would say no." It seems otherwise it would say no." It seems like the behavior is actually intended like the behavior is actually intended like the behavior is actually intended where if you have a code base and you where if you have a code base and you where if you have a code base and you have a model and you ask the model to have a model and you ask the model to have a model and you ask the model to help you fix the code base and improve help you fix the code base and improve help you fix the code base and improve it, it should do that. But of course, as it, it should do that. But of course, as it, it should do that. But of course, as I've mentioned in many videos covering I've mentioned in many videos covering I've mentioned in many videos covering security stuff, having the code that security stuff, having the code that security stuff, having the code that fixes a bug is also kind of giving your fixes a bug is also kind of giving your fixes a bug is also kind of giving your models a guide on how to exploit the models a guide on how to exploit the models a guide on how to exploit the bug. And you can take a very dumb model bug. And you can take a very dumb model bug. And you can take a very dumb model and hand it a diff that patches an and hand it a diff that patches an and hand it a diff that patches an exploit and ask it to recreate the exploit and ask it to recreate the exploit and ask it to recreate the exploit or show you how you would take exploit or show you how you would take exploit or show you how you would take advantage of it, and they will.

advantage of it, and they will. advantage of it, and they will. Especially now that we have open weight Especially now that we have open weight Especially now that we have open weight models like GLM 5.2 which are getting models like GLM 5.2 which are getting models like GLM 5.2 which are getting close to GPT 5.5's capabilities, the close to GPT 5.5's capabilities, the close to GPT 5.5's capabilities, the possibility to take advantage of these possibility to take advantage of these possibility to take advantage of these hacks and take advantage of the smartest hacks and take advantage of the smartest hacks and take advantage of the smartest models finding fixes to open source work models finding fixes to open source work models finding fixes to open source work in order to hack it with open weight in order to hack it with open weight in order to hack it with open weight models is a very real pipeline and we do models is a very real pipeline and we do models is a very real pipeline and we do need to be concerned about. All of that need to be concerned about. All of that need to be concerned about. All of that said, the best fix is to secure the said, the best fix is to secure the said, the best fix is to secure the software we're worried about, to use software we're worried about, to use software we're worried about, to use models to find these exploits, patch models to find these exploits, patch models to find these exploits, patch them, and ship those patches ASAP before them, and ship those patches ASAP before them, and ship those patches ASAP before these capabilities are more widely these capabilities are more widely these capabilities are more widely available. And this is what Anthropic available. And this is what Anthropic available. And this is what Anthropic was doing with Project Last Wing. I also was doing with Project Last Wing. I also was doing with Project Last Wing. I also think the dissonance here is a big part think the dissonance here is a big part think the dissonance here is a big part of why Anthropic is struggling so much. of why Anthropic is struggling so much. of why Anthropic is struggling so much. They are mostly used to talking to They are mostly used to talking to They are mostly used to talking to people in the AI space. Anyone working people in the AI space. Anyone working people in the AI space. Anyone working at Anthropic spends the majority of at Anthropic spends the majority of at Anthropic spends the majority of their time talking about thinking about their time talking about thinking about their time talking about thinking about and using AI. They know the purpose of and using AI. They know the purpose of and using AI. They know the purpose of these tools, especially the developer these tools, especially the developer these tools, especially the developer focus stuff, is to work in a code base focus stuff, is to work in a code base focus stuff, is to work in a code base and solve real problems in those code and solve real problems in those code and solve real problems in those code bases. And I can guarantee that pretty bases. And I can guarantee that pretty bases. And I can guarantee that pretty much no one at Anthropic would be much no one at Anthropic would be much no one at Anthropic would be interested in shipping a model that interested in shipping a model that interested in shipping a model that couldn't fix a code base. And that's why couldn't fix a code base. And that's why couldn't fix a code base. And that's why they didn't see this as a jailbreak. And they didn't see this as a jailbreak. And they didn't see this as a jailbreak. And that term, jailbreak, has been that term, jailbreak, has been that term, jailbreak, has been absolutely destroyed as a result of all absolutely destroyed as a result of all absolutely destroyed as a result of all of this. Because what the government of this. Because what the government of this. Because what the government sees as a jailbreak, Anthropic sees as sees as a jailbreak, Anthropic sees as sees as a jailbreak, Anthropic sees as intended behavior and the world sees as intended behavior and the world sees as intended behavior and the world sees as a very confusing scenario. But, as a very confusing scenario. But, as a very confusing scenario. But, as Anthropic mentions here, there's lots of Anthropic mentions here, there's lots of Anthropic mentions here, there's lots of other models that can find exploits the other models that can find exploits the other models that can find exploits the same way. As they call out here, same way. As they call out here, same way. As they call out here, including GPT 5.5. This callout might including GPT 5.5. This callout might including GPT 5.5. This callout might have been a bit dangerous of them, have been a bit dangerous of them, have been a bit dangerous of them, though. Because from what I've been though. Because from what I've been though. Because from what I've been seeing, lots of other labs are now

seeing, lots of other labs are now seeing, lots of other labs are now scared that their models going to get scared that their models going to get scared that their models going to get banned or know your customer'd as well. banned or know your customer'd as well. banned or know your customer'd as well. Because remember, this isn't a formal Because remember, this isn't a formal Because remember, this isn't a formal ban. The government's restriction isn't ban. The government's restriction isn't ban. The government's restriction isn't that they can't use or sell the model. that they can't use or sell the model. that they can't use or sell the model. It's that they are not allowing any It's that they are not allowing any It's that they are not allowing any foreign nationals. So, people whose foreign nationals. So, people whose foreign nationals. So, people whose citizenship isn't with the United citizenship isn't with the United citizenship isn't with the United States, regardless of where they are, States, regardless of where they are, States, regardless of where they are, they cannot use it, even including they cannot use it, even including they cannot use it, even including Anthropic employees. This means that Anthropic employees. This means that Anthropic employees. This means that people like Karpathy have been people like Karpathy have been people like Karpathy have been restricted from access to the model. So, restricted from access to the model. So, restricted from access to the model. So, why haven't they done that? Why don't we why haven't they done that? Why don't we why haven't they done that? Why don't we have the model back now? I've seen a lot have the model back now? I've seen a lot have the model back now? I've seen a lot of misinformation flying around. It's of misinformation flying around. It's of misinformation flying around. It's part of why I was motivated to make this part of why I was motivated to make this part of why I was motivated to make this video. Because a lot of people seem to video. Because a lot of people seem to video. Because a lot of people seem to think that Anthropic's going to put out think that Anthropic's going to put out think that Anthropic's going to put out the know your customer, like verify your the know your customer, like verify your the know your customer, like verify your identity, and now you can use the model identity, and now you can use the model identity, and now you can use the model thing. They can't, really. There's a lot thing. They can't, really. There's a lot thing. They can't, really. There's a lot of layers to it. The biggest one by far of layers to it. The biggest one by far of layers to it. The biggest one by far is that they also expose this model over is that they also expose this model over is that they also expose this model over API. So, I want to integrate Fable into API. So, I want to integrate Fable into API. So, I want to integrate Fable into my product, I would now have to do my my product, I would now have to do my my product, I would now have to do my own verification of my users to make own verification of my users to make own verification of my users to make sure they're US citizens, too, and sure they're US citizens, too, and sure they're US citizens, too, and somehow forward that along to Anthropic. somehow forward that along to Anthropic. somehow forward that along to Anthropic. That type of data privacy chain is not That type of data privacy chain is not That type of data privacy chain is not really viable, and I understand why they really viable, and I understand why they really viable, and I understand why they don't want to implement it. They could, don't want to implement it. They could, don't want to implement it. They could, hypothetically, force you to off through hypothetically, force you to off through hypothetically, force you to off through this to use it with Claude code, and this to use it with Claude code, and this to use it with Claude code, and then also be really aggressive about then also be really aggressive about then also be really aggressive about making sure people who aren't you using making sure people who aren't you using making sure people who aren't you using it get banned really fast. That's not it get banned really fast. That's not it get banned really fast. That's not going to be a reliable enough solution.

going to be a reliable enough solution. going to be a reliable enough solution. They know that, you know that. Let's be They know that, you know that. Let's be They know that, you know that. Let's be real. So, they've decided to keep it on real. So, they've decided to keep it on real. So, they've decided to keep it on hold until the ban is lifted, which has hold until the ban is lifted, which has hold until the ban is lifted, which has the terms of they need to fix the the terms of they need to fix the the terms of they need to fix the jailbreak. Initially, this was not going jailbreak. Initially, this was not going jailbreak. Initially, this was not going well, because Anthropic just seems to well, because Anthropic just seems to well, because Anthropic just seems to not really know how to talk to the White not really know how to talk to the White not really know how to talk to the White House. But, then they started sending House. But, then they started sending House. But, then they started sending employees there in person to negotiate. employees there in person to negotiate. employees there in person to negotiate. And the negotiations seem to finally be And the negotiations seem to finally be And the negotiations seem to finally be going well. They went well enough that going well. They went well enough that going well. They went well enough that in interview, Trump actually told the in interview, Trump actually told the in interview, Trump actually told the interviewer that he doesn't see interviewer that he doesn't see interviewer that he doesn't see Anthropic as a national security threat Anthropic as a national security threat Anthropic as a national security threat anymore. That he did, but that has anymore. That he did, but that has anymore. That he did, but that has changed. Thankfully, Trump doesn't seem changed. Thankfully, Trump doesn't seem changed. Thankfully, Trump doesn't seem interested in using the Defense interested in using the Defense interested in using the Defense Production Act, which is a wartime act Production Act, which is a wartime act Production Act, which is a wartime act that allows the government to take over that allows the government to take over that allows the government to take over manufacturing in order to produce things manufacturing in order to produce things manufacturing in order to produce things we need to defend ourselves, like we need to defend ourselves, like we need to defend ourselves, like weapons or [ __ ] tanks and whatnot. He weapons or [ __ ] tanks and whatnot. He weapons or [ __ ] tanks and whatnot.
