How is that in anyway a "tightrope"? You're on a government contract so you fulfill the spec and don't use components they don't trust. This isn't an arbitrary jobs program to boost the economy, you're t

Well was that in the contract or not? Because the closest OP gets to saying that is that it was "not included".

What on earth does "Two such use cases have never been included in our contracts with the Department of War" mean? Did they specifically forbid it in the contract or was it literally just not included? Because I can tell you tha

I think it largely hinges on what they mean by "included"; does that mean it was specifically excluded by the terms of the contract or does it mean that it's not expressly permitted? I doubt the DoD is used to defense contra

The OP specifically mentions this in the context of "systems" (a vague, poorly-defined term) and "classified networks" in which Anthropic products are already present. Without more details on what "systems" th

I think a better question is how much people consume in general. There are plenty of people who replace their car every 2-3 years but that doesn't get nearly as much scorn and mockery.

It's the CIA, manipulation is their speciality. MK-ULTRA didn't just study drugs and wacky pagan magic, they also studied more mundane methods of mind control which are undoubtedly real. The CIA understands why beautiful young wo

Oh boy, something on the HN front page i have direct personal experience with (CIA polygraph exams in general not this specific one). >Then she asked if I'd read about polygraphs. I said I'd just finished A Tremor in the Blood.

I got yelled at for inadvertently "closing my sphincter" (the examiner's exact words) the one time I tried to take a polygraph at the CIA, they do actually care about that.

The problem from the CIA's perspective isn't petty theft, it's getting caught.

I always thought of sentience as something we made up to explain why we're "special" and that animals can be used as resources. I find the idea of machines having sentience to be especially outrageous because nobody ever ser

I honestly just don't see any point in these laws because they're all predicated on the people who own the AI's acting in good faith. In a way I actually think they're a net negative because they seem to be giving a fal

Their constant warmongering is why they constantly are being bombarded with rockets. That you're primarily concerned with disruption to life and financial burden rather than casualties and infrastructure indicates that iron dome is alr

This does not change any power dynamics. The only time the iron dome has ever come close to failing on a systematic level was when they ran out of interceptors during their own unprovoked war against iran.
