In some countries, when you go to work there they take full fingerprints (fingers, palm, etc.) plus a blood sample for DNA. Works extremely well in deterring crime. From a technology perspective, it is really not that hard to keep all this

I hope there's a plan for local production in the US with all the banning of stuff right, left and center. Soon they'll ban Colombian coffee for being too good and making people want more of it. Or who knows whatever else.

The Anthropic CEO has an entitlement problem. I read his opinion twice and somehow in his worldview, if any other country gets better at AI than the US, the apocalypse will come and the US will be no more. Or something along those lines. Se
