Where will they find a control group?

... Ride of the Valkyries.

... find my cat.

... if you do it twice.

Doesn't work that way at AWS. All anyone in the company sees is a blob of encrypted bits to which they have no access unless the customer shares the key with them for some reason. If they have to move the data from one location to another or back it up they have to do the entire blob (that's what the data techs refer to it as, a "blob"), they have no ability to see what's in it. It's not like your local drive where the administrator can take ownership and view whatever they want. Go to AWS with a court order and they'll have to hand over the entire encrypted blob.

And it is common practice. And has been for a long time. If you want to do business with the government and you can't certify that your suppliers comply with applicable rules and regulations, you either stop using them. Or give up the business opportunity. Welcome to the Federal Procurement Process.

It's a hostage situation because Anthropic is trying to insert its TOS as a poison pill into others supply chains. The Pentagon doesn't have to comply with them. But as a potential vendor, you may be exposed to tortious action. Anthropic is setting you up as a blackmail victim. Something, by the way, that counterintelligence is VERY interested in.

I've been living in the DoD (now the DoW) supplier business for decades. And yes, it's bizarro land. But it's the law. Federal contracts are not some sort of UBI for crybaby companies.

Not 'punishment'. But 'not fit for use'. That is, in fact, what Anthropic says.

OK. Then you don't win the bid. Assuming that the DoW worded their acquisition RFQ properly. Also, if a third party uses Claude and wishes to bid on a DoW supply contract, Anthropic's resistance to being involved in such business may put that potential third party supplier in legal risk. The DoW has a right to proactively warn future partners about such a conflict. Hence the "supply chain risk".

Anthropic is taking potentially unwilling parties hostage. Anthropic has no right to impose its desires on these parties. That's restraint of trade. A violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act and a felony.

Plz post more of those "deer in headlights" photos of Patel.

That's my stalker troll, I think most of its posts are done by a (fairly poorly programmed) bot. I've seen over a dozen before after a single post that I've made, it's quite pitiful. I suspect it's the same troll that has been stalking rsilvergun for the last several years, and creimer before him.

Because our corporate overlords spend too much of their time at places like the Bohemian Grove. Throw in some twink porn and they will be suitably distracted.

Evidently, you have never seen a mechanic screaming at his socket wrench for rounding the head of a bolt off.

I am struggling to understand the distinction.

The best move would have been to not know, retaining some plausible deniability. But Apple has to have that yummy, yummy revenue.

So, "whenever we wanna".

Iran has never been involved in any terror operations to the scale of the US. Just the Contra terrorists, directly funded, trained, armed, and directed by the US, killed a minimum of 30,000 people. The Hmongs in Southeast Asia may have approached or even exceeded that number. The Afghan mujahideen's death toll of civilians was thousands even before they became al Qaeda. The various US-funded right-wing groups in Colombia terrorized the countryside worse than the FARC. To this day the US continues to fund at least a dozen terrorist groups across Africa. All Shi'ia terrorism, whether associated with Iran or not, combined might have a death toll of a couple hundred, tops.
