2. However, the DOW could still start to demand changes to have the technology changed or they threaten to leave. They could even open a parallel contract with another vendor just in case. Things like this would not be so easy with the anthropic approach.

1. think to summarize this in Laymans terms. Anthropic wanted contractual limits on what the department of war could do. That would be rock solid. Open AI is saying that our technology can’t do what you wanted to do today. So we don’t need a contract term.

My take: Anthropic wanted legal restrictions to prevent DoW from using in a bad way ever. OpenAI is saying they have technical constraints in product and the product works the way it works. OpenAI gets to skate on moral issues while the gvt gets to keep open the open of demanding technical changes.

Republicans says they believe in voter ID, but when one of their own got caught in the snare, what happened? Donald Trump endorsed him. I give you the curious case of John Wahl.

As an Eagle Scout, I'm appalled by Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts) for cowering to Trump and Hegseth and agreeing to end DEI.

The organization had finally taken long overdue steps to become more welcoming. Now they're regressing ass-backward - for a bigot.

Embarrassing.

Wouldn’t it be wild if a former president struck a deal to avoid this very thing and your boss backed out of it because that president was Black

It is blatantly unconstitutional. It might cause confusion and turmoil which is likely the outcome he wants.

Didn't know Nazi symbols are bad? Didn't know that Stew Peters is a known antisemite? Seems like he makes decisions without thinking.

A 41‑year‑old Maine Senate candidate (Graham Platner) reposting Stew Peters (avowed antisemite) β€” then deleting it after backlash - shows a real lapse in judgment. If he didn’t know who he amplified, that’s careless. If he did, worse. Either way, it raises serious questions abt his decision‑making.

Sorry I'm just laughing my ass off at Platner RTing Stew Peters like it's either a troll job or yous are about to hand a Senate vote to another Nazi because you liked his puffy jacket and beanie

Howard Lutnick faces bipartisan calls to resign over latest Epstein revelations Recently disclosed records suggest a closer relationship than the Commerce secretary previously indicated.

Secretary Howard Lutnick lied to the country about his ties to Epstein.

Now we learned that they were in business together.

He has no business being our Commerce Secretary.

He should resign.

Not buying it. A guy who is almost 80 years old is not changing.

Opinion | Liam Ramos Was Just One of Hundreds of Children at This Detention Center. Release Them All.

"A 2-year-old boy was breastfeeding in detention. One 6-year-old boy had leukemia. An 8-year-old girl began wetting the bed. A 14-year-old girl engaged in self-harm...None of these children or their parents had a criminal history anywhere in the world."

200 out of 207 Democratic House members voted against it. I hardly think that counts as Democrats voted to fund ICE. And since then, Senate Democrats have forced the DHS and ICE funding to be separate.

Maybe instead of "being nervous" she should vocally speak out about it. Too many CEO cowards.

Looks like things are happening in the Senate with threats to shut down the bill resolution if ICE/DHS are not affected. We shall see.

Looks like the fix is in at the federal level.

DHS does not have any prosecutorial authority.

This would have to be a criminal investigation - which is the FBI and DOJ's lane.

DHS also already lied and CBP repeated the lies in stating their pre-investigation conclusions.
