First, it comes out that on some specified subset of queries they will simply downgrade you to a different model. One example is if you are doing model research. Imagine OSX shutting down if it detects you’re working on software.
And now they’ve decided that they’ll just shut off access to the model completely as part of what seems to be a sort of marketing stunt or temper tantrum.
They’re a service provider. Can you imagine AWS just deciding you’re getting nullrouted over some unrelated fight they’re having with the DoD?
If they weren’t a supply chain risk before this, they’re sort of doing everything they can to become one.
Put it on your roof with a cheap solar panel meant for a security camera, and join it to your home WiFi.
Just use the little plastic case it came in as an enclosure. Cut a hole for the antenna and USB.
A slightly larger antenna will help. There are many on Amazon, and they’re cheap.
(I have tried lots of boards and this has been the best setup for me)
If anthro is saying they won’t, that’s good!
Did the DoW ask them to make kill drones? Because if so THAT IS A REALLY BIG DEAL.
The vagueness is irritating. He’s saying they won’t do something, the DoW is saying they don’t even want them to do that, which should resolve the issue, but hasn’t. There is obviously something else at play here.
>>no he didn’t he actually said the opposite of that and the link you just posted says the opposite of what you are claiming
>but he might change his mind!
Okay?
But Dario is showing weakness here by talking around it. Whatever they were asked to do, they should just be upfront about.
That’s the point I’m trying to make here: Anthropic should just say the unsaid thing here.
DoW asked for the following thing: $foo. We won’t give that to them.
OpenAI has already said that they’ll give up whatever info the government wants if they’re issued a subpoena; they don’t have a choice.
> The Department of War has no interest in using AI to conduct mass surveillance of Americans (which is illegal) nor do we want to use AI to develop autonomous weapons that operate without human involvement.
Anthropic’s safeguards already prevent what you are describing, again the thing thar DoW has said they don’t want.
This whole thing seems like people talking past each other, and that there’s something being left unsaid.
Anthropic doesn’t make a product that would assist with kill drones, and they don’t have the right to deny subpoenas.
I'm trying not to get too caught up in the hype here. I'm curious what you've actually built or shipped so far with claude-code.I made a little phonics flashcard game for my kids https://apps.apple.com/us/app/3letterstories/id6753956099Also related to that: a tool to fine tune the images on the flash cards (which are all AI generated on gemini).Some internal tooling - a self contained page...
In 2001, you needed an entire development team if you wanted to have an online business. Having an online business was a complicated, niche thing.
Now, because it has gotten substantially easier, there are thousands of times as many (probably millions of times) online stores, and many of them employ some sort of developer (usually on a retainer) to do work for them. Those consultants probably make more than the devs of 2001 did, too.
The funny thing is that there is usually a guy on an ebike following right behind, and he's usually just decked out in sortof tactical-ish gear. Full mask, head to toe in all black. I feel bad for whoever it is in the summer, because it gets really hot here.
Very interesting to see.
I also paid for Foreign Affairs for a long time, but eventually the quality of the paper (as in the physical material) dropped down a lot, and the number of ads went up.
Lapham's Quarterly (now defunct) wasn't really news, but happily paid for that.
Also plenty of substacks, patreon podcasts, etc.

My local paper just ran a story about a woman "trapped" in her Tesla because the battery died. They started the story with a "warning" to anybody who might be considering buying one. The solution, according to this article, was to locate the "secret" release button that opens the door. Of course to anybody who has ever ridden in the front seat of a Tesla this is an absurd framing of the physical door handle which opens the door in the exact same fashion as every door that has been manufactured for a vehicle for the last 100 years. If you own a Tesla you have probably had to tell somebody not to use this handle (since it seems like such an obvious way to open the door) because it doesn't crack the windows and could damage the window seal (or so the warning that pops up when you use it says).
I'm not going to pay for that.
I echo what some other posters here have said: they're certainly not gray.
But there is also a scene (which I cannot find online) where the main character (a playwright) is explaining that the only way to make his play work is to make everybody a main character. He realizes that everybody, everywhere, is living out a rich life and that they're the main character of that life.
It is a fantastic movie and i highly recommend it.
