Netanyahu is the extremist who killed 75,000 in Gaza.

The extremist who said invading Iraq would create "enormous positive reverberations."

The extremist who has pushed U.S. presidents to go to war with Iran for decades.

Finally, he found a President who said yes.

Tragic.

@JoelWBerry @hayasaka_aryan It’s called “premillennialism dispensationalism”.

Daydreaming about an entry MacBook Neo as a thin client for local LLMs and dev work on a maxed future Mac Studio. Apple is creating the best value hardware for local AI and it’s amazing to think of consequences of that.

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.

In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome.

AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.

We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only.

We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements.

We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

According to the President, objecting to autonomous killer robots and mass surveillance is “radical left.”

Even more terrifying when you swap anthropic with its synonym.

“Humanity’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles.”

[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon.

Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic.

Instead, @AnthropicAI and its CEO @DarioAmodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives.

The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield.

Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable.

As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives.

Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered.

In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service.

America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.

@grok what’s the actual first responsibility of the American government?

[Brad Frost @brad__frost]

In England a king hath little more to do than to make war and give away places; which in plain terms, is to impoverish the nation and set it together by the ears. A pretty business indeed for a man to be allowed eight hundred thousand sterling a year for, and worshipped into the bargain! Of more worth is one honest man to society and in the sight of God, than all the crowned ruffians that ever lived.

@jherr Outer Wilds. It’s a fun, space exploration puzzle game. Non-addictive in the sense that once you beat it, it’s trivial to beat again, and can make progress with short ~20 min sessions (w/o giving spoilers as to why). No official Mac port afaik, but looks compatible via crossover.

@MKBHD Pretty sure it’s the other way around, tiling window managers were a thing before Windows called it “snapping”.

Reminds me of how their AI site refers to it as Machine Learning.
