Sometimes you learn things when you do an interview with a chief executive. And sometimes, you learn things when you do not in fact do an interview with a chief executive:
The battle between the Pentagon and Anthropic couldn't have come at a worse time. AI safety is no longer a hypothetical problem; it's a real concern for the world we live in today. And the US Government's demand? Move faster and break more things. My cover story: www.economist.com/briefing/202...
someone else who works at a startup has managed to argue for an API spend cap of $1,000, per day, _per engineer_
a friend who works in a hedge fund pod shop expects his claude bill to overtake his bloomberg bill shortly
Do they know we can hear them talking?

Guarantee there’d be a premium to live next to the sepulchre in 2026. “Pyramid village”. Legal cases to block affordable housing because it blocks a boomer’s view of the granite

Great. Now search the web to find out which of these scenarios occurred and give me your reaction 14:16 Let me search for each of these scenarios. Searched the web Searched the web Interesting — I caught a very notable detail in the Wikipedia article. Let me search for more on the Iran situation. Searched the web Searched the web That is extraordinary — scenario 2 literally just happened. Now let me check the remaining scenarios.
4. US government designates Anthropic as a supply chain risk Extremely low (<1%). Anthropic is a US-founded, US-headquartered company with strong ties to the US national security community and a reputation for safety-focused AI. There's no plausible near-term pathway to this.
2. US–Israel joint airstrikes on Iran to assassinate head of state Low (~3-5%). Both countries view Iran as a major adversary, and Israel has conducted targeted assassinations of Iranian figures. But a joint operation specifically targeting the head of state would be an extraordinary escalation — essentially an act of war — with enormous geopolitical consequences. Covert Israeli operations are more plausible than overt joint strikes.
one of the fun things about AI is using it as a "just woke up from a coma" simulator
something i've been thinking is that AI is great at tasks with verifiable output (coding, maths) and improves slowly at tasks with subjective output (literature, analysis). anyway one task with a verifiable output is posting for clout. the slop era cometh

yeah it's possible! throwing your gauntlet for a full realignment right now. But also it's going to be thrown in your face in two hundred seats regardless of how well you're doing
it's a great line for huge swaths of the left but not really one that's tenable from a party leader
"splitting the left is bad and everyone should back the most likely winner" is a bold line for the green party to take i feel
