Without any real privacy laws, Americans should not have the expectation of privacy in private spaces either. Your search history, real time location, biometric data, consumer habits etc. are all for sale to anyone who wants it.

No one seems to ever point out the actual, likely negative outcome of this technology. It eventually works well enough that these companies are able to capture and divert the wages of hundreds of millions of workers. We end up with a dozen

The example they give is a frame rate boost on GTA V - a game released 16 years ago.

I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!

Where did Anthropic get all their training data? Funny that these companies care about the sanctity of IP all of a sudden.

Not sure it is a coincidence that this comes in the same year the the government is deploying a massive military presence and national domestic surveillance noose. Almost no one thinks that any human being should have a trillion dollars, or

What some people here are missing, is that domain experts or hobbyists are mostly vibe coding tools for themselves -- not as a SAAS product. They tend to work good enough to do the thing they want it to do. It runs locally or on some VPS, a

So is the next phase of "Democracy" electing who controls technology? Political power has always about who controls economic production, and the tools of economic production.

Different countries are going to distribute the benefits of automation in different ways. Northern European states will pursue shortened work weeks and lavish social services. China will reinvest the productivity gains into its industrial c

It looks like they tested the strait and had to turn around. The US has not been back since. Compare this to Iraq wars I and II. In Desert Storm, the US and its allies operated a half dozen carrier groups and hundreds of ships in the gulf

I am old enough to remember when the US insisted that it was superior to China because they believed in the rule of law and sanctity of intellectual property.

The Iranians (and their Houthi proxies) have made sustained attacks on them and don't seem to have hit anything. That's because the US has kept the surface combatants far back from the Persian Gulf for the duration of the war. A

Thought I would remind people here of this simple, but mostly unknown fact about American healthcare: American taxpayers invest more public dollars per capita in healthcare than anyone in the world. This before a single cent is paid into

Iranians were scoring direct hits on top priority infrastructure in the first days of the conflict. Only in the last couple of weeks has US media started to report the extensive damaged visited upon the (now mostly abandoned) US bases in th

Frankly, it is a miracle that inflation is this low. Markets have not fully metabolized the impact from the closure of the Persian Gulf.

I suspect people would want to spend money on infrastructure that benefits them, and not a multi trillion dollar company.

Over the last decade (and even prior to that) CPPIB has been the best performing fund of its kind. National pension funds have different risk tolerances and investment guidelines that someone's personal portfolio or a family office. Th

The international arrivals section of Vancouver airport is a great example of this. Indoor waterfalls, sound dampening on the walls and ceilings, carpeted floors and wide open space is a huge relief after a 5-15 hr flight. It's also an

The censorship is to shield embarrassing info from GCC and American audiences. As others have pointed out, Iran has its own satellites, and allies with satellites that can conduct their own battlefield damage assessments.

Had a pretty heavy workload yesterday, and never hid the limit on claude code. Perhaps they allowed for more tokens for the launch? Claude design on the other hand seemed to eat through (its own separate usage limit) very fast. Hit the limi

It feels like there is a wide open opportunity for some new OS's to enter the mainstream marketplace. I see nothing but dissatisfaction with the incumbents.
