User Chris: What was the core difference why you think the DoW accepted OpenAI but not Anthropic Sam Altman: I can't speak for them, but to speculate with the best understanding of the situation. *First, I saw reporting that they were extremely close on a deal, and for much of the time both sides really wanted to reach one. I have seen what happens in tense negotiations when things get stressed and deteriorate super fast, and I could believe that was a large part of what happened here. *We believe in a layered approach to safety--building a safety stack, deploying FDEs and having our safety and alignment researcher involved, deploying via cloud, working directly with the DoW. Anthropic seemed more focused on specific prohibitions in the contract, rather than citing applicable laws, which we felt comfortable with. We feel that it it's very important to build safe system, and although documents are also important, I'd clearly rather rely on technical safeguards if I only had to pick one. *We and the DoW got comfortable with the contractual language, but I can understand other people would have a different opinion here. *I think Anthropic may have wanted more operational control than we did

I saw some folks asking what the difference was between what OpenAI signed with the DoD and what Anthropic said they wanted, and Sam more or less admits here the key point: OpenAI's deal requires them to trust the NSA. Anthropic's contract had real safeguards.

NBC: “Are you committing your missiles won’t have the capability to reach 🇺🇸?”

Iranian FM: “Yes.”

NBC: “Then why are you bombing our bases?”

Iranian FM: “Because they’re attacking us.”

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN I hope you aren't drunk and took your staff's advice, Rashida and I don't know this man and feel confident he didn't care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self, Replying to: Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace • 6h My heart goes out to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib tonight. Sending them thoughts and prayers. (Announcement of the ayatollah’s death)

“I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self” is some God-tier Minnesotan passive aggression, could not be prouder of my former congresswoman.

NEW: Four federal judges have formed a firewall against ICE in West Virginia — and say they’ll punish state and federal officials of they continue detaining people in ways they have ruled illegal and unconstitutional.

www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

"Assemble the Board of Peace - I'm starting a war".

WOOWWW,,, this just hit $100,000. Keep it up cuz it’s going directly to them in Vegas 👍🏾

“Israel has officially closed all crossings with Gaza, including the Rafah crossing.😭😭😭 Prices have risen insanely, and some traders have hoarded food supplies and hidden them from people to make profit at the expense of their suffering."

A message today from my dear friend Tasneem in Gaza. Unsurprisingly, Israel is clamping down on Gaza in the wake of the attack on Iran, making life worse for the displaced civilians.

Please donate to Tasneem and/or repost. No amount is too small. And give to others. 🙏

JUST IN: A federal judge in Oregon has barred ICE from conducting warrantless arrests without probable cause in the state, saying the agency's "dragnets" have flouted "clear and undisputed" law. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The judges in WV have seen enough.

They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings — including against state officials who help them carry it out.

Thankx again for the brands who have reached out about She Got Game weekend,,, I gots a small but mighty staff starting to work thru those requests and we working with the athletes to see what they want.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Measles was wiped out in the U.S. 25 years ago and now we’re already past 1,000 cases in February because vaccination rates dropped below the safety line. This is what happens when public health gets gutted and people stop trusting basic science.

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Amazing, to me, how little video I can find about this HUGE story.

it's fascinating to watch Costco lap every one of these clowns because they have the only CEO in America who still thinks his job is to run a company that does business and not be the main character of life forging his personal legacy with one eye on the group chat to see if they're impressed yet

Still seems crazy that Richard Hanania wrote for years under a white power banner and is just like, part of the media landscape.

Ukrainians have changed the way they wage war; they no longer ask when it will end, but only how. They are stopping a dangerous aggressor. Unlike us, they don’t even ask us to say thank you.

The cops control municipal government and have essentially done so since the 70s. Once you understand this, everything else gets clearer.

The State of the Union: the president is a corrupt demented sex criminal who tried to overthrow the constitution.

I have a billion dollar idea. Hire this guy to run a very low stakes museum that has like…I don’t know Doonesbury comic panels, and then encourage people to invent heists to steal them and the best heist each year wins a prize.

congrats to the mens hockey team for letting a demented 80 year old sex criminal steal your shine and make himself the center of your accomplishment
