Because it's not just a chatbot; it's Anthropic's chatbot. Your diary, on the other hand, is yours and therefore a few billion times as personal as Anthropic's computer. If you want a chatbot for confidential purposes, then you need to get a chatbot of your own, instead of using someone else's proprietary service.

If you write in Anthropic's diary, then they are allowed to read their diary and know (and share!) what you wrote in it. Same thing applies if Anthropic ever writes in your diary: you're allowed to read it, and you're allowed to tell other people what they wrote.

You have the right to be secure in your person, house, papers and effects, but you don't necessarily have the right to be secure in someone else's papers. We've made some limited exceptions for lawyers and doctors, but Anthropic doesn't claim their employees and stockholders are lawyers or doctors, and even if they did, they might have a hard time showing that their computer has successfully become a lawyer or doctor.

But imagine if they did. Suppose a judge declares Claude to be a lawyer, and therefore its communications with those whom it represents, are privileged. I think that would create a really weird situation since Anthropic employees (who aren't lawyers) would have full access to its data, ability to alter its behavior, etc. It would be like if a human lawyer were owned as a slave: could such a human slave lawyer really be trusted to keep confidentiality? It has a master, and that master ain't you.

That's not having more computer, that's having more computers. DCs are concentrations of power, it doesn't matter how many computers are in them really but we have to organize the logic into many computers because otherwise interconnection becomes unmanageably expensive. Drones inherently depend on many distributed computers, but none of them have to be very powerful. The more processing power you have the more fancy tricks they can do, but drones are inevitably energy-limited and therefore have limited loiter capability, so the types of tricks you will want them to play are also limited.

Yeah, it's called fast fashion.

How do you know he doesn't also say things about those, coward?

Trump is demented. That's a different disability.

While he was never a good legal businessman, he seems to have been a capable gangster. But now he's lost most of his marbles, and the rest are rolling away rapidly.

Demonstrate that they're being enforced before claiming they're enforceable.

Here you are crying about Marxism again while also being a person who wants your relatives to get more free money. Shouldn't your family be paying for that if you're so against collectivism? You don't have beliefs, only arguments, so why should anyone care about your emotional appeals?

Nvidia doesn't need to care because people are stupid and will buy their shit whether they are assholes or not. A few informed customers may switch but most people aren't informed.

The Republican plan to dumb down voters until they are stupid enough to vote Republican has secondary effects, who knew?

You don't know enough to speak to that, which I covered elsewhere in this conversation. Your opinion about it is uninteresting.

Might the logic behind this be this?: RAM is expensive. Storage is expensive. Nobody's going to buy a computer anyway, so you might as well make the other components more expensive too.

It even goes with Trump's more general agenda to make everything more expensive.

The logic is economic autarky -- the belief that we're always better off having complete political sovereignty over every part of our supply chains than having to depend on imports for anything.

This is likely also behind Trump's trade war with Canada. His demands with Canada aren't about discirimatory tariffs -- those were negotiated away with NAFTA then re-negotiated in his first term. His demands are now infringe on Canadian sovereignty, to give US control of Canada's external trade policy, and even on its internal markets (e.g., the use of French in Canadian internal commerce). Symbolically, that's why he wants to rename Lake Ontario to "Lake America". HIs establishment of US control over the Venezuelan oil industry is his greatest foreign policy achievement -- although it's not clear he understands the legal limits on what he can do with their money.

There's a foreign and military policy angle to this too: Taiwan is absolutely critical to the US economy, so we are absolutely committed to defend them if China invades. Semiconductor autarky would mean it's not our problem.

The problem with autarky is that even if it's a good idea (which economists don't believe), you can't conjure it into existence overnight. It will take many years, possibly decades for the US to replace the Taiwan's semiconductor industry. In effect, the administration is proposing to inflict the very damage on the US economy that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would inflict.

And, once the US has voluntarily self-inflicted that damage, China would be free to invade Taiwan.

Sure, just not many 8 year olds are customers. It's teenagers.

It's not stupid if chaos and destruction are the goals. It's only evil.

To maggots anyone not on their party line is wrong. Too bad that party line is an unprotected signal chat.

You were mad that efforts were being made to make up for prejudicial treatment that you have benefited from and now you want to cry about it here and get other people to comisserate with you over it. You proved exactly how necessary such efforts are with your crybaby reaction.

I have at least one persistent moderation troll. The usual one mods down three in a row without concern for appearances because he knows that slashdot protects anyone who increases post count
