Anthropic is helping the US National Security Agency deploy its powerful Mythos AI model for offensive cyber operations, embedding engineers inside the agency despite an ongoing legal battle with the Pentagon.

Wait, I was told only China, Russia and North Korea that did offensive cyber attacks and espionage. 🤔🤔

What’s all this copper in? That’s a large motor-worth of copper.

If they want to tackle this problem they could add a separate low power tracker embedded in the body somewhere. Prolly not doing it yet but if they do you’d have to know where it is to cut it out.

Soudns like a good time to go spend some money in the gay village bars then. Perhaps march in the parade. I’d like to see the parade without the corpo floats. I recall the Montreal parade was much less corporate than the Toronto one. Lots of unions and other people orgs. The communists were at the very front of the parade.

Perhaps a COVID vaccine.

That’s a diff type of worm. :D

Right but MacBook Air is still incredibly expensive compared to Neo or other cheap laptops. Just not in the same category.

Err have there ever been cheap laptop option from Apple for Apple customers to turn to?

Reminder - AI does not need to be able to replace anyone to lead to layoffs. All it needs to be able to do is increase productivity in some sector by some measurable or perceived, or expected amount.

Yup. And platforms like Play/Amazon/etc. are even further away from markets than big box stores because people don’t all see the same items for sale to choose from, which is fundamental to the functioning of free markets.

BTW I’m not a fan of free markets, but for the limited set of economic use cases they serve well, at least they gotta function as such.

I think one reason is that given the stage in capitalism we’ve been living for some time now has completely fucked people’s understanding of what markets, competition, monopoly power, and so on are. Not people’s fault really. We live in this system, we observe and learn about it from what it claims about itself. We have to do extra work to have any different understanding. Most people don’t have extra time for unpaid work.

I like Valve as much as the next guy, but Google showed us that having choices and not holding 90% of the market doesn’t mean you can’t exercise monopolist power. Sure Valve isn’t Google. At least not yet. Given they aren’t publucly traded and their current ownership being what it is, there’s better chance they won’t turn into what Google did for a while.

As opposed to - what about the protesters - in response to a statement about balamce of power against a regional aggressor?

More good news. This region won’t stabilize unless Iran is able to show that the US cannot significantly diminish Iranian capability to legitimately threaten the safety of Israel.

The scrambler you’re looking for is labour organizing.

We are Steve.

This is geat news. The last time Iran got economic reprieve their economy grew by 6-7% per year and purchasing power grew.

That said this won’t happen again if Israel has any say in the matter.

And ran out of the expensive munitions.

Well they fucked their arab allies in the region. They lost their bases hosted by those allies. This means the Americans can’t rely on the pre-existing material base or the goodwill of the arabs. What they got left in the region is Israel. Perhaps they think they no longer need the arabs to project power.
