Anthropic does most defiantly not have the power here. If you think the current "Secretary of War" will hesitate to use force of any kind to get what he wants, you're mistaken. No AI currently built will protect you from the US war machine working in conjunction with US Federal law enforcement.

Anthropic is prepared to loosen its current terms of use, but wants to ensure its tools aren't used to spy on Americans en masse, or to develop weapons that fire with no human involvement.

The Pentagon claims that's unduly restrictive, and that there are all sorts of gray areas that would make it unworkable to operate on such terms. Pentagon officials are insisting in negotiations with Anthropic and three other big AI labs â" OpenAI, Google and xAI â" that the military be able to use their tools for "all lawful purposes."

Honestly, long release cylces can be just as much of a pain in the ass if everyone else is upgrading before you, you're left supporting software whos devs have long since forged ahead on later versions, leading to your bug reports getting ignored and or other software breaking it due to incompatibility wiht the old versions.

I just don't understand the blind hope of the crypto dudes. " I figured out how to do money by doing nothing just by buying a thing and watching number go up, my highschool and 1 year of community college has prepared me to be a financial genius those wall street guys never saw coming" Dude, smart people will eat you alive. It doesn't matter the market: Dumb money is gambling. And eternal gambling will have you broke in no time.

What ever MS does is by definition blessed and correct, as they have the application that Libreoffice is trying to work with. Now it sucks that MS is so difficult to work with, but thats the price you pay. Libreoffice on its own terms with no ms compatibility is just fine. Not great. Not as good as Office 2003 but better than office 95. So a better version of 1997. Yeah, I'd put it there more or less.

You shouldn't be that impressed. Microsoft has spent a lot of time and money making it send minimal data, and optimizing the java script. And libreoffice.. it hasn't had a lot of love in a while. It works well for what I need it to, but I don't have the time and energy to refactor it to work more performant. I just live with it.
