Why are we pretending the Iranian government is good after killing thousands of protestors a few weeks ago?

This is Trump illegally invading a country again, and that country has awful regressive leadership. There’s no good guy here.

This is fraud.

It’s not a war. That requires a declaration by congress.

This is a “ongoing military operation that will be over in a few days”

They went from standing with Anthropic to throwing them under the bus real fast

The dispute is they have ethics, which is low coming from an AI company.

Sam Altman saying he supports them then hours later ratfucking them really puts the cherry on the asshole cake

How can he betray the ideals of the FIFA Peace Prize and the Bored of Peace so easily?!

They’ve also indicated they’re willing to use the Defense Production Act to force you into slavery for political reasons. They didn’t pull the trigger on that here, but this is now a threat to any American company/employee.

Yeah, you can’t do business with the US government anymore. It’s just not feasible.

No, they declared them a supply chain vulnerability and that all companies that do business with the DoD are forbidden from doing business with Anthropic.

What that means in terms of AWS and Google Cloud being DoD contractors and being used to serve Anthropic’s models is still unclear. Potentially this means they can’t.

This is not just justification, this was extortion, and now is them doing their best to destroy this company for standing up to them.

They deemed them a supply chain vulnerability.

That’s not the same as choosing not to renew a contract.

It was almost definitely both.

Yes but they already signed a contract WITH the safety limits in place.

I get that obviously they would want them removed, bit that is not what they signed.

So they signed a contract, decided they don’t like the terms, now they’re trying to extort Anthropic and gaslighting to claim Anthropic is strong arming them?

I fucking hate this administration man.

In essence, while the bill doesn’t seem to require the most egregious forms of age verification (face scans or similar), it does require OS providers to collect age verification of some form at the account/user creation stage—and to be able to pass a segmented version of that information to outside developers upon request.

As much as I hate this, just filling in a drop down on OS install is fine with me. This is the ideal solution. Tell your kid’s device it’s for a kid, then use the default age restrictions correctly. That’s perfectly fine to me.

Anything to avoid evil age verification services that force deanonymization through every app and service.

I do still hold a strong reservation against these age locks — how long until the US deems LGBTQ and teaching about slavery as “mature” topics?

This is hilarious, but in a I can’t believe how fucking absurd and stupid way.

They didn’t even bother QAing the pre recorded messages by listening once.

So even if you had a nice well attributed vector database for encoder only search (fancy AI fingerprinting), there’s going to be a lot of false positives.

Yes, you can keep digging to find more revealing details, but the haystack of where you cross reference to/from gets harder to use. Plus, you assume their other profiles match their interests, which for Hacker News probably works, but if I want to find arbitrary people I doubt it.

So this all comes down to how many breadcrumbs do you leave on the internet. Someone could use this to correlate my Steam username and PSN username, but neither actually link to my other accounts.

Definitely don’t watch Ishitani Furniture then.

This smells like snake oil

Does the desk have any marquetry? Carvings? What joinery was used?

Don’t leave us hanging!
