THE “EPSTEIN CLASS”
The DOJ is using selective redactions and half lists that protect the powerful while intentionally confusing the public.
They’re protecting reputations, not survivors.

the new Republican talking point is that it's insulting to complain about requiring women to show their birth certificate and passport in order to vote because they're smart enough to figure it out

uh yeah we've got a Sinpo-class datacenter (smells like diesel fuel and funded by North Korean ransomware)
Heard someone refer to a (large) datacenter as an "ohio-class datacenter" and now I only want to hear datacenter sizes referred to by reference to submarine classes

The problem is that Russia's economy probably collapses even faster if the war ends (without the lifting of sanctions).
“Russia’s economy hasn’t collapsed. It has entered the “death zone”—surviving by consuming its own future. Growth at 1%. Budget deficit rising. Military sector expands while civilian industry shrinks. Interest payments > education + healthcare. No climber survives this altitude forever.”

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.

The Pentagon may label Anthropic a "supply chain risk," forcing all its vendors to sever ties.
