What would it take for Anthropic to move overseas, to some country more friendly to them? India, say. With their current employees working remotely from the US (or wherever they live). Is it possible?

I agree that some of these things---the ones that aren't explicable as searchlight beams reflecting off of clouds, or Venus, or balloons--- are not physical objects. My favorite idea is that someone (China, say) has lined up a bunch of tiny drones with radar transponders. When the first one in the line detects a radar ping from some American fighter, its transponder sends out a response that makes it look like a sizable object (whereas the drone itself is too small to show up on radar). Simultaneously it sends a signal to the next drone in the line, which does the same with some delay. Depending on the delay, the line of drones can appear to be a single object moving quickly or slowly. And if the line is bent, the virtual object can appear to take a sudden turn, or go into the water or come out of the water.

Optical illusions could be created in much the same way.

"Correct sun and moon icons during midnight sun — Fixed an icon that wrongly showed a moon during all-day daylight in polar regions... "
Huh? The Moon comes up in day time just like it does at night (with the possible exception of the full Moon, which rises about the same time the Sun sets, and sets about the same time the Sun rises). And if you look in the right place, you can see the Moon perfectly well in the daytime (assuming no clouds in the way).

"In modern war, the side with air superiority wins the war." That was Trump's theory in Iran.

Management would be a good application for AI.

AI isn't trying to get promoted and doesn't need four-hour status meetings twice a week.

Because parents have to go to work, and after-school programs have a set schedule.

Of course, employers and after-school programs could also adjust their start times for the seasons, and we could agree to switch those start times on the same day.

But that's just reimplementing DST.

How often do we encounter endangered bird embryos that lack eggshells?

I can see how this technology might be used to revive extinct species, but the claim that it helps endangered species is nonsense.

That people are using examples from three years ago is pretty good evidence.

Republicans have always been hypocritical about states' rights.

Abortion was a states' rights issue until RvW was overturned, and suddenly they wanted a national ban.

They want the Feds to overturn state-level pot legalization, ban sanctuary cities, etc.

That was three years ago, which is an eon in AI terms.

There have been vast advances since then.

That is nominal GDP based on a very weak currency.

In PPP terms, Iran's GDP is about $1.2T, about the same as that of Illinois or the Netherlands.

Then the future will belong to China.

Better start learning Mandarin.

Indeed. I pay $20 per month for Cursor, and it works great.

Why should I pay 15 times that much to be Elon's beta tester?

It is called Model Collapse, and avoiding it is a hot research topic.

If you punish companies for firing, you get less hiring.

Countries with inflexible labor markets tend to have higher unemployment.
