The idea of paying for IDEs like intelliJ was always dumb. The benefit above something free like Netbeans was always questionable. But code assist from things like Codex is obviously worth it.
Elon Musk's statement that Africa's poverty is not rooted in colonialism is a harsh but necessary economic truth.
Clinging to centuries-old colonial grievances has become a bankrupt strategy used by modern ruling elites to excuse their own policy failures and institutional decay.
Ethiopia avoided colonial rule, yet it stagnated for decades. Vietnam endured brutal French colonization and war, yet it is now a booming economic power.
If colonialism were the sole determinant of wealth, Ethiopia would be rich and Vietnam would be broke.
The core issue is present governance, not past extraction. Former colonies like Singapore grew because they protected property rights and enforced the rule of law.
Africa remains trapped because leadership prioritizes elite survival over economic productivity.

@M_Jay94@zimlive No the judges got it right. This is not a fully grown man and is in the bracket of kids in our society. When the age gap is not that big. It should be taken into account. Would be entirely different for someone say above 25.
the specificity of this proposal is so insanely head and shoulders above openai's recent article as to make it laughable. i'm basically on board with everything proposed, and think this is extremely worth reading. unfortunately i worry anthropic does not in fact have the regulatory influence to actually make most of these things happen. there's a lot of outlining how regulators have in the past moved too slowly, and less on how that will plausibly change now, especially for some of the heavier-weight items here (international coalitions etc)
nevertheless there are several specific actions and pieces of legislation being advanced, and i dont know that "not already being a government" can be held against dario
