Agreed. Read the article through and felt cringe most of the way through.

Yeah, but now with “agentic mapreduce”! A “talent dense” team of prompters selling to the Feds.

How is this currently handled today with any other type of software? Why would we treat LLMs any different?

Why wouldn’t this same concept apply to whoever is serving it up? Open-weight models are still being served up by infra providers and neoclouds, right? They should be in the hot seat. Not sure? Don’t provide the model. Need assurance? A certified evaluation like the previous comments have mentioned can help. Hosting and running it yourself? You’re in the hot seat.

0. You are really trying to say that one group of people are “much better humans”…? I think people should fear this type of attitude. It _never_ turns out well for society when we go this route.
1. The federal minimum wage is not the solution to any of your complaints.

I don’t know, ask the states that have lower wages on the books (even though federal prevails).

And how many earn this? Around 1% of hourly employees…if that. Not what I’d be concerned with right now.

When I hop on a VPN and enter ingconito mode from a clean browser session, bypassing their paywall, is that stealing? This doesn't meet the definition of stealing that I'm familiar with.

How is it stolen from Business Insider? When I visit businessinsider.com/anthropic-cut-pirated-millions-used-books-train-claude-copyright-2025-6 I get the same story. My browser caches the story, and I save it for archival purposes. How is this theft?

I don’t believe that Switzerland is the oldest democracy in the world, but I could be mistaken. Iceland has had a democratic-ish parliament since the 900s[0].
Re:Trying to teach in the age of the AI homework machine

After a short stint as a faculty member at a McU institution, I agree with much of this.
Provide machine problems and homework as exercises for students to learn, but assign a very low weight to these as part of an overall grade. Butt in seat assessments should be the majority of a course assessment for many courses.

What was the role? What region was this in? Outside of a PhD student or something similar, I can't imagine this would be in the US, Canada, most of Europe.

After living there for about four years, my mind goes immediately to soju. Not sure if there is a connection, but that’s something I might deep dive with an LLM today.

I think it’s far fewer, probably under 5,000 if we are really talking about “bars” and not any ole liquor licensed establishment such as a restaurant…
