Yes, I read that subject line in Dan Aykroyd's voice.

... in big cities. Get out of the apartment and play in the street behind the diesel buses. Spewing soot and other exhaust products.

Our state (Washington) is doing more by imposing high sales taxes and license fees on newer (like electric) vehicles.

I went by [cough, choke, wheeze] diesel bus.

Shhh! Nobody tell him about Google.

Anthropic is a a national security supply-chain risk. If they can't even keep people out of their stuff, what business do they have handling classified material?

Fine if you (a meat-sack) do it with a clean room process. But the product of the LLM has no legitimate copyright. And so the "Sell it as closed source" is in error. Sure, you can sell it. But I can copy it and there's nothing that ca be done.

It's the quid pro quo that we worry about. These were all off the books deals. And there's no telling how many young nubiles got traded in the process.

Folding blade pocket knifes make little difference whether locking or not. Most "working knives" are fixed blade and therefore marginally legal even under UK law. Go ahead. Prove I'm not on my way to my chef's job. Locking/not locking makes little difference when commiting assaults. It does affect a knife's use as a tool. Non locking blades are definitely weapons. Period.

UK law obviously written by a bunch of aristocrats who have never gotten their hands dirty or calloused.

Stabbed. Not shot.
