You would think so, but as this Supreme Court has shown, the original intent of the Constitution was to give government power over the people. In fact, they recently said the U.S. Postal Service can withhold your mail for any reason for as long as they want, and there is nothing you can do about it.

So yeah, power over the people, not power to the people.

but that new contract language received from the Defense Department "made virtually no progress on preventing Claude's use for mass surveillance of Americans or in fully autonomous weapons."

Also . . .

The Pentagon's top spokesman has reiterated that the military wants to use Anthropic's artificial intelligence technology in legal ways and will not let the company dictate any limits

If the DoD wants to use Anthropic AI in legal ways there shouldn't be a reason for them to agree to the guardrail preventing mass surveillance of U.S. citizens. That they say they won't be dictated to clearly shows the end goal.

The modern world is where people panic and sell a company stock because the company consistently blows away earnings estimates every quarter, year after year, and they're afraid in another three years or so this might come to an end.

You still can't kill the harassment message of a new update with one click.

Could it be that this man is more qualified for the job than any in last decade or two by the objective numbers

No, he is not. Not unless you go back about 150 years he might be considered qualified. Here are Lloyd Austin's qualifications when he was nominated for Secretary of Defense. This is on top of graduating from West Point, on top of serving as a four star general, on top of a Silver Star and five Distinguished Service Medals and serving for 31 years.

Now here are Hegseth's qualifications. He served a total of 9 years of service with no significant command obligations.

To even suggest a drunk white guy who beats women is somehow more qualified than a black man who served with distinction for decades and had the lives of thousands of troops in his command only shows how demented you people are.

To produce light with a wavelength of 13.5 nanometers, ASML's machine shoots a stream of molten droplets of tin through a chamber, where a massive carbon dioxide laser heats them into plasma. This is a superheated state of matter in which the tin droplets become hotter than the sun and emit EUV light

This is how they produce ultraviolet light? I am hardly an ultraviolet scientst, though I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, but there has to be a better way.

Undoing a mod.

There was also a tv series wherein the latest and greatest fighters were immobilized and destroyed because their fancy, state of the art systems were hacked and disabled.

Whereas, an older generation of fighters which operated on more analog principles were unaffected and able to fight back.

We converted to Zscaler and just implemented Okta. Both are nothing but steaming piles.

Fun fact: Okta has as one of its authentication methods an email with a security code. If you can't get into Outlook, how are you supposed to receive your code? If you happen to have a comany phone, then you should be okay. But if not, are you supposed to use your personal phone?

Zscaler is similar. If you select to receive a phone call, how are you supposed to receive that call if you haven't authenticated Teams?

This is one time I'm rooting for Anthropic. Get rid of these scam artists and do security right.

The ONLY reason this is even being mentioned is because Obama said it first. Had he not said anything the dementia-adled pumpkin and his minions wouldn't have a reason to say anything. It's only because the first black president, one who is looked upon far more favorably than the current goon-in-chief, that anything is even being mentioned.

Give it a week. You'll never hear anything about it again.

Right, because there is no one else on the planet who might want this. Not attorneys, not people in the political realm, not diplomats, not corporate people. Nope, only cheaters would want this.

That is your choice. You're the one who decided what to do with YOUR work.

Telling everyone else what they can do with what THEY created is not how it works.

Yeah, like the negative temperatures across the entire midwest and upper midwest as well as the mid-atlantic region to New England.

I guess climate for a region is different than for weather in one area.

With negative wind chills caused by near daily high winds, a hothouse sounds nice.

If a bank deposits money into your account by accident, and you spend that money, you are liable for returning it. It's settled law. You can't claim you didn't know or thought it was a "gift" from the bank.

If these people choose not to return the money then the next step would be to freeze their wallets/accounts.
