The fact they've targetted Anthropic alone suggests they already have the evidence of internal Anthropic comms.

It'll last until next news cycle.

I think it's the other way round. The fundamentalist branding explicitly engineered their religious teachings to become anti-science. Not because science went against any religion but just to take control. You'll note they also despise the law, education and fairness. Hypocrisy is the name of the game.

And the reason for that is the Israel Lobby. Truth and equality both hurt their cause of annihilation of Palestine. But also bonus control of the biggest military and the geopolitical leverage that begets. ie: Immunity for war crimes. The so-called Military Industrial Complex is really a euphemism.

Misery is easy.

A backdoor implies it is designed into the system. Ie: It was M$'s doing, and they wanted it there.

Just need it to hurry along now. I'm hanging out for my cheap DRAM fix.

One doesn't get royalties without copyright first. Sure, the AI tools don't get any copyright, but he sure will. Or the tool training sources might try claiming from him.

Economic health is irrelevant. The rich get relatively richer when regulations don't prevent it. End of story.

They all know that if they aren't taking more of the pie, then their mate down the road will do it. That's simple bottom feeding greed in action.

Where I live, El Nino is in the news every few years for at least the past 40+ years. For as long as I can remember.

In our local climate it produces strong westerly winds which creates a severe drying period because all the rain falls on the other (western) side of the mountains.

PS: I'm not saying blaming social media is wrong. That is the correct finger to point. Just that the reason is wrong. And that leads to incorrect remedies.

Banning minors from the platforms is not a solution when the flaw is with the platforms, not the children.

Because it is blaming the victim. It can very easily be spun into "the person is dumb" and "he/she deserved it."

Reality is, all this "addiction" bullshit started from what was just euphemistic associating of natural obsessive habits and behaviours, some good, some not so good, with what was an actual medical condition containing legal teeth.

We obsess to specialise. It provides shareable skills across the community.

Hehe, yeah, as per usual, the real reason isn't said. My guess is, since streaming is the only thing needing those speeds, therefore the expected profits from streaming haven't materialised. So the string pullers have changed course.

There was speculation but not actual eating until about one year ago. And it takes a shit lot longer than one year to build anything the size and complexity of a fab.

High demand on Flash memory hit two years back, but not DRAM.

My current gaming GPU is an ex-miner fire sale item. They got sold on multiple consumer secondhand markets after proof-of-stake transition.

Buying new gaming GPUs then was already horribly expensive so getting one secondhand was a big relief. I can see the games console price attraction.

They're not going to let up until the bubble bursts. There is no end to expansion in their eyes.
