> If the research can't demonstrate the DK effect, then the research is bad, like poorly designed. What? This is anecdotal and subjective. If the research doesn’t back up those ane…

P vs NP?! What?

Your kids education was already surrendered to the whims of the Big Textbook Politburo. History textbooks are full of propaganda. I think what we have today and what we grew up wit…

Making lots of money?

I mean the latter, but more narrowly: China would never allow the United States to have a monopoly on machine intelligence if the only thing standing in the way of a domestic alter…

Contract law is never going to prevent this.

That’s true up until the point where you can ask the hardware you made to make its own application layer.

The existing models are still going to exist. As hardware improves, there will be a day where it might cost a tenth of a penny to churn through 100M tokens a second of Opus 4.8. Es…

Regardless of whether it’s intellectual property or it isn’t intellectual property, it doesn’t actually matter. If AI doesn’t stop seeing diminishing returns in scaling up, and it …

Regardless of whether they achieved parity via distillation, or whether they got here via independently constructing a model from scratch, it was always going to end this way for t…

I’m just surprised that the people actually keeping the business operating and the tokens flowing don’t resent these product people for sitting around all day coming up with ideas …

If you get arrested for murder and then are acquitted in court after spending 6 months in jail, have you been deprived of due process?

Again, you’re ignoring the entire background of this dispute: Palantir. Once DoD has established that Anthropic is an unreliable partner and is liable to act adversarially, they ne…

Post-deprivation process is still process.

The government has stated what its requirements are: “all lawful use”. Anthropic is uniquely unwilling to agree to that.

The government cannot conduct massive domestic surveillance in any case, that’s illegal. Other vendors are mature and serious enough to understand that the government is subject to…

The court hasn’t found anything. A preliminary injunction is a finding of likelihood of success on the merits, not a ruling on the merits. The designation is still in place and wil…

Okay, sure, that’s a lot of fancy words to say a lot of nothing. What remedy are they seeking? How can this be redressed? (Hint: they want to be a part of the DoD supply chain. If …
