CBS had to pay an undisclosed amount of money to Lee Mendelson Film Productions after Stephen Colbert played licensed music on his final show.
The company is donating those proceeds to Chef José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen.
Beautiful and funny send off to Colbert & the Late Show. Fuck you @CBS . If it wasn’t for March madness games I’d have no reason to watch your shitty channel ever again now.
Built for the wild. Built for the moment.
Wolverines roam remote wilderness and dominate the hardwood.
Congratulations to the Michigan Wolverines on their NCAA championship. 🏆 🏀
The sound alone made a space geek out of me! 🚀
Here’s one unedited minute of the Artemis II launch from our setup on the press mound.
My first time covering a launch from Kennedy Space Center… and I’m not sure I could’ve picked a better one. Thanks to everyone who watched!
Just got out of Project Hail Mary. See it in theaters if you didn’t already, it was awesome and you’re going to want to see it on the biggest screen you can!
Robert Mueller was a hero who served this nation with honor for his entire life.
When you die, Americans, and people around the world, will dance in the streets for weeks because you’re a low, degenerate, criminal fraud who left a full stain on the Presidency.
At high stakes Pentagon meeting today Sec Hegseth gave Anthropic head Dario Amodei ultimatum to allow the Pentagon to use Anthropic’s AI model for mass domestic surveillance and kinetic autonomous operations without human oversight or face censure and be labeled “supply chain threat.”
According to a source familiar:
The meeting was cordial, not a dressing down, not a screaming match, all business.
Hegseth praised the Anthropic product but then said if by Friday Anthropic does not agree to the Pentagon’s use of the model without restrictions, then Hegseth would terminate the contract and use the Defense Production Act to force Anthropic to comply AND/OR designate Anthropic a supply chain threat and national security risk. (EDIT: Both are mutually exclusive. You can’t be a supply chain risk but also invoke the DPA to say that the country needs this product so much for national security that it will override any restrictions put in place by the company that limits govt access to the product. Both cannot be true.)
At issue is Anthropic’s two stipulations that its advanced AI model currently used in the Pentagon’s classified systems is NOT used for autonomous kinetic operations (Anthropic currently requires human oversight of autonomous operations when used to kill things for safety reasons because they don’t know how the autonomous system will react and could even endanger soldiers using the model; soldiers and others could lose control of the model and automatically start killing large groups without humans in the “kill chain.”) Second Anthropic bars its models from being used for mass domestic surveillance. Hegseth wants these restrictions lifted.
According to a source familiar with the talks, Anthropic has never objected to the use of its models for “legitimate military operations.” It also told the Hegseth it never complained to the Pentagon or Palantir about the use of its models in the Maduro raid.
Trump as his speech is interrupted by a demonstrator: "You do know they are paid agitators, right? They get paid. These are all paid agitators, that's all they are. They get paid. They're paid insurrectionists. They're sickos."
