Likely the truest post on this topic.

"...refused to buy into the LGBTQ agenda ravaging the West."

LOL yeah we're really ravaged here, good thing we have Trump to fix things up!

"The problem in Anthropic, I suspect, is that like in the rest of the entire sector, it's flooded w/ woke furry types, who believe that there are 72 genders, that men can give birth and so on. "

Sure, you'd suspect that. Meanwhile, it's far more likely that the Trump administration has simply been bribed.

"That's likely the reason why they're now considering severing ties w/ Anthropic."

It sounds like you have personal experience with furry's. Wonder why that is?

"Given the dozens of AI platforms out there, they could try to adapt one of them, and then finetune them to their requirements"

Whichever one pays the most to Trump. You know, merit-based. Meanwhile, keep working those culture war issues, everything is caused by trans and the browns.

You're new here? Never learning is something he is very proud of, that and his MAGA voting record.

"Trump is a clown but he's less dangerous than the polished turds the alternative has to offer."

That is definitely not true. Trump is owned by Putin and wants to become Putin. The threat he poses is only limited by what an incompetent clown he is. And this is who you support.

And keep in mind that the incredibly dangerous "polished turds" like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are not what "the alternative" offers, it's what Trump offers. Project 2025, a wet dream of yours, includes taking over Venezuela to steal their oil. Murdering our own citizens is not merely a goal but an actual policy of your side.

"And to his credit, Hegseth seems uninterested in playing along."

LOL can always count on you for a laugh. These are your guys. Throw in some booze and Hegseth will be more than interested.

"And also the fact that making war is illegal under international law. "

Trump says there's no such thing as international law. And you know, Trump is the source of all knowledge.

Who is this "we" you're talking about?

Keep practicing

How would you know? Have you seen the patent? Or are you going on the nonexistent information in this "article"?

You cannot judge obviousness of something when you have no idea what is even claimed. Don't let that stop you from your ignorant categorical statements, though.

"Not surprising, but patents (in the US) really need to be a use it or lose it thing."

Why? The alleged benefit of a patent is a reward for teaching the industry your invention, why should you be required to conduct a business to be rewarded for the effort and expense you have already sacrificed?

"You should lose them if you dont have a product in customer hands within a year of it being granted and if you stop making it available, the patent becomes forfeit."
False, the benefit is that the industry receives your teaching, your benefit of selling product is irrelevant.

"But i guess this is just one thing in a long list of patent reforms needed. Also, this is a stupid patent, but nevertheless, a gross misuse of patents."
It is NOT in any list of patent reforms needed. While I agree the patent may seem stupid, we would need to see the patent to know. That's been conspicuously absent, mostly because the source that /. stole the article from didn't provide it either. It should be understood that this isn't a "gross misuse" of patents, it is a primary use of patents.

It also provides a great deal of infrastructure that used to be required of individual publishers. App stores provide a service to both developers and customers, they are not merely "rent seeking".

Also, no one "sovereignty" is "violated", no one takes you seriously with dumb comments like that. Cell phones are not required to offer apps at all. Don't like smart phone terms? Don't use a smart phone.

Worse than that, the exercise they describe is already routinely advised. What they are advising against is cardio, merely one form of exercise. Literally everything they recommend is routine and they offer no claim against cardio. Lazy writing is kind.

"If you're in a cold weather climate you're better off with an ICE or Hybrid vehicle. "

But the planet isn't.

"...a prediction rooted not in some exotic technical breakthrough but in the basic math of electricity supply: chip output is growing exponentially, and electrical output outside China is essentially flat."

Chip output has nothing to do with "electricity supply" and growth in "electrical output" in space is worse than "essentially flat", it's nonexistent. It's not clear what this "basic math" is, but's it's clear who's saying it.

More importantly, the enormous growth in electrical generation Musk implies will occur in space creates quite an unsolved problem, how do you cool gigawatts of computing expenditures in space? If only mankind had thought about that before! Musk will solve it though, just like he put a man on Mars by 2021.

Fortunately, the /. editor made sure to provide hard numbers of what "everyone" means here, it's the least an editor can do.

Also, really enjoyed the link to a Verge article that is paywalled. It's really something when the Verge is cites as the source for anything.

"Today instead of having to pay for 4-5 streaming services..."
That's the new game, we now live in a cash-grab economy free of pesky regulations and devoid of the benefits of free markets.
