The big picture: Hegseth told Amodei in a tense meeting on Tuesday that the Pentagon will either cut ties and declare Anthropic a "supply chain risk," or invoke the Defense Production Act to force the company to tailor its model to the military's needs. Why it matters: The Pentagon wants to punish Anthropic as the feud over AI safeguards grows increasingly nasty, but officials are also worried about the consequences of losing access to its industry-leading model, Claude. "The only reason we're still talking to these people is we need them and we need them now. The problem for these guys is they are that good," a Defense official told Axios ahead of the meeting. Anthropic has said it is willing to adapt its usage policies for the Pentagon, but not to allow its model to be used for the mass surveillance of Americans or the development of weapons that fire without human involvement. Anthropic's Claude is the only AI model currently used for the military's most sensitive work.

There's a lot going on.

But it deserves FAR MORE ATTENTION that Whiskey Pete is going to seize the means of AI production so he can 1) engage in mass surveillance of Americans and 2) shoot without human intervention.

Dystopias this bad would be deemed unrealistic.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

the democratic response to the SOTU should start with “is Donald Trump a pedophile?” and from there be entirely about the files

pov you are wearing meta ray bans

“The democrats need to be more culturally normal” fucking you first, Gavin

It's Official: the Cybertruck is More Explosive than the Ford Pinto - FuelArc News We now have a full year of data for the Cybertruck, and a strange preponderance of headlines about Cybertrucks exploding into flames, including several fatalities. That’s more than enough data to comp...

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold.

The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold.

The military is still just killing random people on boats in the Caribbean. No trials, no evidence. 137 kills so far

I don’t know. I can imagine quite a bit.

reminder that the entire fake news ecosystem online first took off in 2016 when a bunch of rightwing chodes mewled at zuckerberg about censorship — so he fired all the human news editors who weeded out bullshit on facebook.

Here's the thing I will continue saying every time this came up: Kamala Harris did not mention trans people in her campaign. She went out of her way to avoid it. She dodged every question on trans rights. And then she still lost. So what Newsom wants is *open hostility* to trans rights

is everyone ready for the eternal panopticon

He’s a fascist dictator

You can just say that

he shouldn’t have been given the chance to resign, he should’ve been fired wtf

The thing about the women’s hockey team declining the SOTU invitation is in part that sometimes, if you do not need certain kinds of power, you get to retain others.

what he’s complaining about here isn’t even a thing that’s happening. the line he’s giving about spending time on “things that really matter” instead of “identity politics” is exactly the line that every elected Dem from every wing of the party will give you

Scientists actually created a device called Kissenger that lets people physically "kiss" each other through their phones, transmitting real lip pressure across the internet in real time.

This guy gets it.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Oh wow, what, the conservative intelligentsia making excuses for the whiniest little freaks imaginable and threatening to tear down the nation if they're not coddled and cosseted like precious little babies? Incredible, send in the podcasts and notify the press, this only happens fifty times a day.

The entire financial system basically runs on COBOL. This could end in absolute catastrophe. Imagine an AI deleting the code base for the fed overnight lending facility. It would cause a financial shock.
