Mississippi is one of the recent education success stories though.

The change was in fact designed to make the scores jump. The purpose is compressing the top scores to allow universities to be more subjective and still have high averages

The center has already shifted to Musk, SpaceX is 83% of global lift capacity. Artemis is flying an obsolete rocket at insane cost, and higher risk.

Maybe more people should listen to Musk's political message. The Biden Administration was playing nasty games, blocking progress on both SpaceX and AI generally.

That's beside the point... Fact is, there's a schism and no one crosses it. Elon picked a side I guess, so the other side hates him.

The Biden admin was TRYING to slow down AI. It did not work for them.

As for SpaceX I'm not sure what you mean seeing as how the government is easily its largest customer...

No the downvote is from smearing an individual for the political activities of his grandfather.

Smearing, hah, yea. The company is dodgy as fuck and you know it.

edit: just looked at your comment history too, explains a lot.

While this leak may or may not have happened, for this type of exposure there should be criminal liability for developers and executives. Criminal negligence and prison time.

If developers are going to face criminal liability, they should IMHO also have legal ways to push back against certain implementations without risking their jobs, or at least have a way to leave a legal justification somewhere: "I'm doing this because I'm forced to but I disagree" which is then signed by management.

Until then, you're putting the weight of the law on the wrong side of the equation, since developers aren't the ones consciously making risky decisions.

Most countries already have whistleblower laws. If you are living somewhere that has any kind of "wrongful termination" legislation, an employer asking you to commit a crime is an open and shut case. I would guess that all of the USA and Europe would have existing sufficient protections, for example (although the US never ceases to surprise me).

They won’t do it just for protection.

The state would need to offer an award, and maybe witness relocation

Is there any evidence that going outside the scope of the agreement would amount to anything more than a contract violation? Are we really to expect that Anthropic general counsel sits at the API gates allowing or blocking requests?

More generally, are there any comparable contract requirements in the field of defense, for a company in the same position as Anthropic? I'm curious.

You're missing the huge step that the government asking for "all legal uses" terminology is also who decides what is legal. Congress isn't willing to act as a check on executive power, meaning the contract they demanded simply says "I do what I want."

Sure... So the USA of Trump have just decided to stop themselves and all their military suppliers from using the very best coding tools.

I suppose the USA's frenemies will jump on the occasion and use the incredible opportunity offered to them in a silver platter.

Your take is a call for civil war. You're obviously wrong about "treason" since even larger majorities voted for Trump in 2024.

How things played out isn’t what decides if it was treason or not.

The US is already in a state of civil war, that war was declared in 2016.

Half the country just hasn't accepted the reality that the other half refuses to share a society with them and wants them dead.

It's almost like the democratically elected government gets to decide the name, not Google!

It's almost like the democratically elected Congress gets to decide the name, not the President!

(Spoiler: it's still legally called the Gulf of America)

People like democratically elected governments... until it's not their side.

Don't deadname the Gulf!

Gulf of Amy
