... true justice will be served when the courts order all of the copies and products based on them to be destroyed. Namely, the Claude and other Anthropic models.

Make a public show out of this by bulldozing their data centers to accomplish this.

Open source code is intentionally made available for third party inspection. One idea being that your work is being looked at, so no funny business (back doors, etc). That's different from a leak in that leaks may or may not be discovered in a timely manner. Giving a motivated adversary some time to search for flaws. Or the people who put in the back doors time to retire before they are found (War Games Joshua).

The baby step is very significant to me. Because if the study did not account for other factors known to correlate or actively contribute to strokes and death by heart attack then it would be pretty weak and easily dismissed as correlation is not causation. If the findings are true that, there is a correlation between xylitol ingestion and strokes and death by heart attack outside of any other known factors, then it immediately calls for action. Foremost for those who consume xylitol to consider cutting back or abstaining until further research can be done. In addition it provides focused motivation for some postmortem analysis for xylitol and testing on what mechanism might cause the increased risk.

But I do personally have skin in the game as I enjoy chewing xylitol gum. I find it to be an enjoyable treat that I considered guilt free in terms of no calories from sugar, and even better perhaps killing cavity causing bacteria that would be fed by sugar, all while giving my mouth a cool clean mint freshness. So it is a bummer to find that those benefits may have a very negative side effect in the long run.

I hope your skepticism is true, and some researches are trying to hide behind a weaselly association; but hopefully the scientific process will play out with another party or two conducting similar studies and research while others further the research and starting cutting people looking for xylitol in the veins!

The government can tell those others that they do not want Anthropic crap in the products that they buy as well. Or the entire economy would devolve into people slapping US manufacturer logo stickers on Huawei stuff.

Whereas my Aunt Millie is a beta tester for Windows releases.

Yeah I was looking to defend chewing my Xylitol gum since I am generally low risk for heart attack and stroke. I was going to assert it is just unhealthy fatties who are going to die of heart attacks and strokes anyway and chug Xylitol instead of eating right; they are skewing the data. However:

It would be nice to know if massive amounts of Xylitol in your system cause your blood to plaque up and clog pathways increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Or if the "real" sugar people are at it again running around and sprinkling Xylitol gum at the morgue on corpses with the tag "heart attack" or "stroke" on their toe like dirty cops who just shot a guy by accident and sprinkle some cocaine and meth on him.

I think you are right, the issue is license plates; they make us too easy to track.
I do not believe legislation outlawing the requirement for license plates has much of a chance; but perhaps a compromise?

I propose a e-ink license plate supported by the state.
The e-ink licensee plate rotates license plate numbers on a regular basis so that a camera system like flock would generally not see the same number on your vehicle twice, and as a result would not be able to easily confirm it was the same vehicle.

On the states end it would be possible for law enforcement to look up the vehicle by submitting the license plate number and the date time to a system.
However, accessing this system would require personal credentials identifying and logging specifically who is access the license plate; as well as immediately notify the owner of the license plate that they were being tracked by law enforcement in this manner.
The officer Bob stole officer Jack's credentials would still hold Jack responsible as well for his credentials.

Law enforcement will be required to work completely in the light, any secret access would be grounds for throwing out any connected legal cases connected to obfuscated access to license plates. I believe this would be the hardest part, and the government would secretly work to circumvent and argue it can work covertly. As a result the systems would ideally be operated by third parties outside the government and vetted externally for such circumvention.

But even if we eliminated the requirement for license plates you will need to fix that distinctive dent on the front right bumper of your car.
In addition we must all drive red Honda Civics, make sure to rotate the hardware addresses on our tire pressure sensors, vehicle built in 5G modem, smart phone, Bluetooth headset, and any other device screaming an electronic signature.
Oh and please make sure your tires are all inflated to the recommended pressure exactly; or better yet deflate and inflate them to random pressures within the acceptable range to skew your signature, as well as rotates the tires each time before you leave your garage.

Be sure to wear your wig or hat, sunglasses and fake mustache so you are not easily identified through the front windshield by facial recognition.

He would enjoy it, open his front window curtains wide, and walk around naked in his living room of course.

Of course his front yard would then be known to be safer than a dark alley for committing crime, since no cop wants to view the video feed and the Ai just sees blurs due to the auto nudity censor.

Color me surprised. Microsoft's track record of security holes goes back decades and should be more than enough justification for a ban. Anthropic is a new kid on the block, so dropping their baby food off the high chair could be excused. For a while.

But then that kind of whataboutism could be Anthropics defense. If you've let one idiot get away with everything for years, you can't really justify punishing everyone else now.

That nypost article is funny:

How do they differentiate between "underground" crime and subways? Is the former that which is commited in manholes?

But seriously, the big liberal cities are struggling to whitewash (is that racist?) their crime statistics. Here, in the greater Seattle area, many of the local police departments are "going dark" by encrypting their radio traffic. Seattle Police would be too. If not for the recent unfortunate incident, which led to the police chief's firing and a lot of "Hur, dur" by the socialist mayor in the media. Turning public scrutiny off right now would not be proper political optics. But they will, soon. I will miss the entertainment of the dedicated Sound Transit police channel. Which makes the rest of the city sound like a sleepy little town by comparison.

Seattle. But it's all sandals and socks here.

I don't know. How many other companies were selling products for classified applications and had leaks?

Drama queens.

But then what do you expect in a city where people have been conditioned to expect mommy government to wipe their noses for them? 911 is just the public facing contact for the public.
