The fact that we came out of 2008 and decided that the commodities regulator should remain separate from the securities regulator AND the corn people should have all swaps and futures is proof that we wanted to make sure we were the home for the next 2008

this is the real test of whether anthropic actually gives a shit about anything and I would be utterly unsurprised if they cave just like they did on raising funds from the middle east
We live in an autocratic oligarchic hellhole.
The Pentagon is basically saying that if Anthropic doesn't drop its demands over restricting the use of AI in autonomous drone targeting and surveillance of Americans, it will essentially destroy the company.

Exclusive: Pentagon warns Anthropic will "pay a price" as feud escalates
The Pentagon may label Anthropic a "supply chain risk," forcing all its vendors to sever ties.

The fact that these sentences always end with "... which we will cram with more work for them" and not "... so we moved to a four-day workweek" really illustrate the hollowness of some AI evangelists' promises that AI will deliver us to some kind of post-work utopia.
“By removing writing from reporters’ workloads, we’ve effectively freed up an extra workday for them each week” is such a strange sentence to read.

Exclusive: Centrist Dems strike back with new group

Everyone should be furious at these Democrats for voting to fund ICE, but the real culprit is Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
He refused to pressure his members to vote against ICE. He quite literally chose not to lead. Pathetic.
