    01:28 Hegseth, Trump had no authority to order Anthropic to be blacklisted, judge says

    • A US District Judge granted Anthropic a preliminary injunction blocking the Department of War’s blacklisting, ruling the designation was First Amendment retaliation rather than a legitimate national security action.
    • The court found officials lacked authority to blacklist Anthropic without considering less restrictive alternatives or providing evidence of an urgent security risk, noting the designation was triggered by Anthropic’s “hostile manner through the press.”
    • The practical business impact was already substantial before the ruling, with three trade deals cancelled and other potential partners delaying negotiations, representing potentially billions in lost contracts over five years.
    • Anthropic continues to balance the legal fight with maintaining its government relationships, publicly emphasizing alignment with the Department of War’s mission around safe AI deployment even while litigating against it.
    • For cloud and AI vendors, this case establishes a notable precedent around government procurement decisions and First Amendment protections, with implications for how companies publicly challenge federal contracting positions.

    02:35 Jonathan – “I’m guessing Anthropic is super busy with all the people coming to them for deals right now, because it seems to me that Anthropic is getting all the business customers and OpenAI are getting the personal customers.”

    04:08 Delve Announces Changes and New Customer Support Measures

    • Delve has responded to allegations from an anonymous Substack post by denying claims of faked evidence, clarifying that independent AICPA-accredited auditors, not Delve, issue SOC 2 reports and ISO 27001 certifications.

    Welcome to episode 348 of The Cloud Pod, where the weather is always cloudy!

    347: The CloudPod is Only Recording this Week “Because of AI”
    Mar 26 2026
    Welcome to episode 347 of The Cloud Pod, where the forecast is always cloudy! Justin, Jonathan, and Ryan are in the studio recording today, and thankfully, Jonathan hasn’t replaced us all with Skynet – yet. This week, we’re discussing how old our tools (and us) are (hint: it’s really old), whether or not the SaasApocalypse is upon us, and whether or not the business or AI is responsible for the latest round of layoffs.
