## Supporting Evidence
**Source:** MIT Technology Review, March 2 2026
The Pentagon contract case makes the alignment tax visible: Anthropic paid by losing the DoD contract and receiving supply chain risk designation; OpenAI captured the contract by accepting 'any lawful use' terms; Google also accommodated despite employee objections. The tax cleared the market within days, with competitors immediately capturing the opportunity created by Anthropic's refusal.
