Next, maybe Anthropic can make Sicily an offer it can’t refuse.

  Malta is a country, Sicily is a region

    A country is a region.
    • nixass 5mo ago
      Yes the continents too

      I believe GP's intent was to point out that a company can get into an agreement with a government (make an offer they can't refuse), but a company cannot get a "region" to sign an agreement/contract with them.

        Regional governments exist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Sicily https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Sicily

      What region is UK?
      • dgellow 5mo ago
        That whole thread is absurd, but if I would have to answer I would say Great Britain is the name of the region/group of islands? Open to be wrong, I know little about the UK
        • SahAssar 5mo ago
          Great Britain is the big island. UK (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) is a country consisting of several countries and other territories.

    with a president called Renato Schifani.
    • nixass 5mo ago
      It doesn't make it any less-region
      • auggierose 5mo ago
        But what exactly is your point?
        • rvnx 5mo ago
          38.1097387° N, 13.3520066° E
        • nixass 5mo ago
          What's their point?
          • fragmede 5mo ago
            Because Sicily has a President, an offer to them that can't be refused, can be made. Can a region sign contracts? In this case, yes.
            • nixass 5mo ago
              lol "president" I have a president in my neighborhood's polka club too.
              • fragmede 5mo ago
                At which point, your neighborhood's polka club can enter into certain kinds of contracts on behalf of the members. Same as the region of Sicily.

    > Malta is a country, Sicily is a region Regions can sign deals too…?

  I assume this is a joke about corruption.

    That's so interesting. Kind of explains company directions - quality vs quantity.

  As long as death isn't on the line. They wouldn't want to fall for one of the classic blunders. I'm just wondering when the US will finally put boots on the ground in Iran...

  Buy Sicily? At least that would make money
