So the whole Anthropic thing with Hegseth and Trump is some kind of publicity stunt, right?

They've been spending a ton on advertising recently, especially through nontraditional means, and this kind of news incident gets them exactly the kind of publicity they want.

If it's not, and the government is being earnest, they just handed Anthropic the best marketing they could have asked for, especially in their attempt to win over anti-AI liberals.
