The damage is done. You cannot build a business critical function on top of American SOTA frontier model. Especially not with the current crew in charge.

Now whether AI tech is in the same league as say Nuclear tech and therefore by any reasonable standard should be regulated is a different question.

We hit the slippery slope on a random day in June 2026 and there is no putting the genie back in the bottle. Any exec or manager that puts load bearing weight on top of Anthropic/OpenAI/Google/AmericanCorp frontier model deserves the stress.

This kills the entire enterprise market for AI models better than Opus 4.8

1) No one is going to build any workflows/capabilities that could have the underlying intelligence rug pulled instantly by a bureaucracy or malevolent politician.

2) Even if a company was silly enough to take on the risk, is Anthropic going to ask all their enterprise customers to provide passports for all their employees and then setup individual Claude accounts for each and every employee of each and every enterprise customer in order to gatekeep access to Mythos? Because a plain ole api key no longer cuts it

It kills their entire Enterprise market which is a far bigger deal than just consumer KYC headaches

It's a bond sale. They get preferential treatment in case of insolvency.

Easiest day for engineers on-call everywhere except AWS staff. There’s nothing you can do except wait for AWS to come back online.

Pour one out for the customer service teams of affected businesses instead

This is a recording of an ACIP meeting to approve the Hep B vaccine in 2018... say whatever you want but this is not "Science"

Gandhi was controlled opposition IMO. His approach delayed the inevitable by decades.

A few tens of thousands of British troops - Over 200 years of the British Raj on average there were 60,000 to 70,000 British troops stationed in India - would have been absolutely slaughtered by the hundreds of millions of Indians (1857 population estimated at 250-300 million).

By the time Gandhi came into the picture, the British empire was overextended - any half decent uprising would have been successful..... unless you convinced the natives to give up on any physical form of dissent and sit down, protest and get beaten up as a virtuous slave.

Truly one of the greatest psyops ever.

In defence of the "less bright people" or deplorables as others have called them - they are deeply suspicious of Science(tm) used as a cudgel.

They intuit that some parasitic entity or entities has latched on to Science and is co-opting it for it's own gain to achieve it's own purposes which run counter to the interests of the people.

The heavy handed Covid response and censorship is a prime example of that.

The whole system has been corrupted and therefore it is not possible to have a de-facto assumption of good faith of the actors.

I did not run the code myself. The code block and console log I have pasted is verbatim copy from Claude3.5

Does not seem work universally. Just tested a few with this prompt

"create a javascript function to count any letter in any word. Run this function for the letter "r" and the word "strawberry" and print the count"

ChatGPT-4o => Output is 3. Passed

Claude3.5 => Output is 2. Failed. Told it the count is wrong. It apologised and then fixed the issue in the code. Output is now 3. Useless if the human does not spot the error.

llama3.1-70b(local) => Output is 2. Failed.

llama3.1-70b(Groq) => Output is 2. Failed.

Gemma2-9b-lt(local) => Output is 2. Failed.

Curiously all the ones that failed had this code (or some near identical version of it)

```javascript

function countLetter(letter, word) {

  // Convert both letter and word to lowercase to make the search case-insensitive

  const lowerCaseWord = word.toLowerCase();

  const lowerCaseLetter = letter.toLowerCase();


  // Use the split() method with the letter as the separator to get an array of substrings separated by the letter

  const substrings = lowerCaseWord.split(lowerCaseLetter);

  // The count of the letter is the number of splits minus one (because there are n-1 spaces between n items)

  return substrings.length - 1;
}

// Test the function with "r" and "strawberry"

console.log(countLetter("r", "strawberry")); // Output: 2 ```

Now it makes sense why Elon Musk trims the fat on his companies ruthlessly and regularly

Being the designated "tech" person for my extended family and friends circle, I don't think I could recommend this to any of them because of the privacy nightmare.

At least with Apple you have a single vendor who is vertically integrated and makes a huge song and dance about data privacy. Even if you discount their PR and marketing spin, IMHO you are still miles ahead of the likes of Microsoft + (pick one) HP, Asus, Lenovo and the rest of them.

There is no way I would trust any of them not to take advantage of the data gold mine.

Looks great; any plans to add encryption at rest? Use case being sync between personal devices using iCloud or google drive or OneDrive etc. encryption would prevent cloud storage providers from trivially accessing your data

Still have not answered my question. Why is lower prices better? Why would vastly higher consumption coupled with vastly decreased production be beneficial?

Why would lower prices be beneficial? Americans already had the highest living standards in the world.

You don't think China already has folks working in TSMC fabs stealing IP?

If you believe that every Taiwanese engineer is rabidly anti-China then I have a vaccine I want to sell you.

It is my belief that China will steal what it can, corrupt who it can, threaten who it can and most importantly, re-invent what it is missing (they have a bigger STEM education pipeline that most Western countries combined) until they no longer have this achilles heel.

The only unknown is if there is will be hot war before they reach that inflection point.
