That's cynical and is why we can't have organized labor in this country. The propaganda that makes labor organization difficult is real and it comes from the Gipper. From beyond the grave... All but the far-left are under the illusion that organized labor is Jimmy Hoffa and the Teamsters.

Anthropic must be experiencing similar confusion as every other entity in the world who gets pulled into talks with the Trump party. Anthropic should have lawyers (really really good lawyers) dealing with this entire thing. Talking to Trump or his cronies is like making a deal with an apprentice of Satan. Not as clever as Satan, but you're not going to get what you want. That's the art of the deal. Never let the other side get what they want. Plus shit on your hands before you shake anyone else's.

It would be interesting to know how much cocaine, ketamine and alcohol are being consumed in the oval office. Anyone who hurts the fat baby's feelings gets nuked (metaphorically). Waiting for the announcements that Scotland is being invaded after locals dirtbike a few golf courses (literally).

LOL Temu Lex Luther (Luthor?)
That's gold.
I don't know what polluting industries Lex thinks he can move to space. Concrete production? Steel mills? Water intensive industries? What pollutes much more than manufacturing I think is things like short-lived consumer products with no re-usability that end up in the trash, in the oceans and waterways, etc.
Building spaceships in space out of space materials makes for good speculative science fiction. Space miners, space truckers, space stations where space truckers and miners mingle with space hookers. Sure thing.

OR better yet, we can organize and make capital our bitches! Sorry, I mean reduce class stratification between labor and capital.

"Meta is at least back on the map in AI"
In this map, Anthropic is the Pacific Ocean, and Meta is Lake Eerie.

"said Rob May, CEO of the startup Neurometric, which works in the realm of token engineering"

Goddamn I gotta get better at bullshitting my way into billions of dollars. "Backupify" was a company that guy worked on and exited, probably with all the money. seriously.

"I would wake up to 30 or 35 texts from his most current reading of the script."
I have a friend who does this. I'll get a dozen texts when I wake up and yep, it's like "when do you sleep"
We have a name for it, and that's crazy.

You'd think that people looking for life in the sea or life in the stars would have come to a conclusion by now, but we've been listening to radio for a long time (SETI) and sending submersibles in to the twilight zone and down to the trenches for a while now.
In the deep ocean where there's no light, we don't see anything when we turn the lights on because we scare all the creatures away. We might need ultra-bright LEDs to see in the dark, but creatures down there have eyes so sensitive that we can blind them with a flashlight.
SETI has been concentrated on radio frequencies that are probably too low to make into a tight-beam transmission that could reach us from one of the Earth-like planets we know about. I think as we detect more Earth-like planets with better equipment, we'll see signs of life.

gold is not selling off because A: it's gold. People don't go there unless they're scared of all risks being too much, and once they're in gold they are just going to hold on to it. The real problem is that whatever agreement Trump and Iran think they have is, for the moment, just a temporary thing that could devolve into missile volleys again. And probably will.
"the next phase of talks would depend on Washington first fulfilling several obligations"
The Trump administration has a really good track record there. Yep.

A lot of people are doing this Claude skills/context engineering right now. People are actually getting startup money to create a business around a skill they farted out. Seriously. I bet thousands of startups right now are people thinking they vibed out a skill that's going to revolutionize something.
In the last few months I saw EVERYONE creating skills and trying to add them to our skills repo. It slowed down a lot once we started reviewing them and asking what the hell the benefit of the skill is and not getting an answer (or people would ask Claude what benefit the skill provides). You probably want to use Claude to generate a skill, because it knows how to format the .md file correctly, but skills are a dime a dozen. Finding the correct resolution for a skill is important and is missed by people just getting their feet wet.

Roku can't be worth 22 Billion. 100 million users is way-overestimated. If you're still on a Roku, buy a Shield. It's the same or at least not worse. I can't tell. At least the Shield seems to be more stable/better on Wifi.

Disney bought 20th Century Fox (movie studios). This article is about Rupert Murdoch's Fox. Which is something different I think.

"retool our economies"
Climate change, population decline are going to force us to do this anyway.
The smart move is to get ahead of the trend, if you know what it is.
The other smart move is to max out the current model, take your trillion dollars out of the economy and buy your own country/be a despot while the rest of the world fights for the remaining supply of insect based-protein while running out of water.

This is why all the convenience stores lock up the condoms in a plexiglass chastity closet. Population decline is bad for the capital class. Have more babies! Feed them plastic! Send them to college! Send em' pregnant!

All the looksmaxxing influencers are going there to get themselves rebuilt surgically to look like the ideal version of themselves for 1/10th the cost.

"The report notes that Microsoft is planning to move the Surface stack to a more secure architecture based on Rust code."
Aren't we all? Planning. To (have Claude) migrate everything to Rust.

"these projects are known as Secure EC and Project Patina respectively."
Ah I get it. Patina -> rust. clever.
