Fair choice but do you also boycott US companies assisting in the Gaza genocide and the unprovoked attack on Iran?

I agree, it's unfortunate the headlines seem to have become 'rewritten in Rust' (not a bad thing) and not 'vibecoded in a week without review' (a bad thing).

For what is worth, I don't think Russia is on the same economic success path as China, so I don't think the argument there is remotely convincing. I am not saying it's the right argument, I am saying the argument might work o

This is true, but of course ignores what happens historically when these societies open up more. They tend to get exploited. Places like China, Vietnam etc. don't yet have institutions strong enough to withstand (Western) meddling. So

From what I know, the 'defense' industry has their production cleverly across all 50 states so that they're seen as one of the few sources of stable employment for most, sadly.

I think they do. Maybe not specifically how much will it last, but the average person does understand nothing they buy last literally 'forever' and they would certainly have discovered with movies, music etc. too. With physical di

Well, that's the publicly stated reason. Is that really enough? Maybe, but I am slightly suspicious something else was promised behind the scenes.

I am saying they could have not said anything about it being too dangerous etc. and just released Fable as a new model once the safeguards were in place and Mythos to trusted orgs as they did. Instead they choose to hype for months about ha

What part am I misrepresenting, Anthropic CEO explicitly states he's ok with military use as long as there's a human in the loop[1]. He states the Iran school strike 'doesn't even violate our red lines'. Can you cla

They blew it by pretending to take some sort of moral high ground while their model was being used in Iran to blow up schools. I say they get what they deserve. I would have a lot more respect for them if they banned Pentagon use of their m

Something I am not seeing discussed is why the sudden reversal? Could it be Antropic promised NSA direct access to everyone's queries or something? Maybe an opportunity for admin officials to get in early on their promised IPO? I am no

Go does force you too, but it also supports _ as a bypass - because sometimes you do know better. Just not in this case. Rust never promised it'll let programmers turn off their brain, that's what LLMs are for.
