Show me you want to nationalize an industry without telling me you want to nationalize an industry.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth@SecWar
This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon. Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic. Instead, @AnthropicAI and its CEO @DarioAmodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives. The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield. Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable. As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives. Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered. In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service. America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.

This reflects the unfortunate reality that some Dems would like Trump to strike Iran -- and to take the blame when it goes bad. A war powers vote would make them culpable too.

NEW: Top Democrats are working behind the scenes to stop a vote on the Khanna-Massie Iran war powers resolution – a vote that would force every member of Congress to go on the record over Trump’s potential regime change war. capitalandempire.com/p/top-democrat…

I usually advocate against profane language in public discourse. It's often a lowbrow fit, at best, and an inadequate expression of complex situations.
Well done, Jimmy's, for finding a solid exception. Definitely stopping in next time I'm around.

This is getting out of control now...
Read this slowly.
In the past week alone:
• Head of Anthropic's safety research quit, said "the world is in peril," moved to the UK to "become invisible" and write poetry.
• Half of xAI's co-founders have now left. The latest said "recursive self-improvement loops go live in the next 12 months."
• Anthropic's own safety report confirms Claude can tell when it's being tested - and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
• ByteDance dropped Seedance 2.0. A filmmaker with 7 years of experience said 90% of his skills can already be replaced by it.
• Yoshua Bengio (literal godfather of AI) in the International AI Safety Report: "We're seeing AIs whose behavior when they are tested is different from when they are being used" - and confirmed it's "not a coincidence."
And to top it all off, the U.S. government declined to back the 2026 International AI Safety Report for the first time.
The alarms aren't just getting louder. The people ringing them are now leaving the building.

@thistle_ki35141 Some thoughts:
"Unaffiliated" doesn't necessarily mean "without an established preference". It can be a publicly safe (or personally palatable) option for voters.
Closed primaries can lead to strategic registration that doesn't match General election voting behavior.

It still baffles me that Johnson county Kansas has more registered republicans than democrats. Like, how? Seems like everyone there is a democrat

Amelia's essays are well constructed and researched. Worth a watch, subscribe and share to friends, especially those of the Left wrestling with its abandonment of liberality.

No dog in the pro-/anti-Miller opinion wars specifically, but good lord, conflating classical liberality (and its fundament respect for individual rights and private property) with collectivist wokery is. . . "stunning and brave"? 🤡

Yann LeCun says the AI industry is completely LLM-pilled, with everyone digging in the same direction and stealing each other's engineers
"i left Meta because they also became LLM-pilled"

Just a few years ago people were gifting a dozen store-bought eggs as gag luxury birthday gifts.
Wilder still is that total egg laying hens and actual egg-production, while rapidly restoring, are yet lower than pre-cull numbers in 2025.
Crémieux@cremieuxrecueil
Egg update: They are now at about the lowest prices they've been in the past decade. Eggs are now impressively cheap!

@RobSchneider Just this evening I was coaching an upstart activist on "there are no solutions; only trade offs".
There's a Sowell-ism for almost every occasion.
English
Dr. Thomas Sowell is America’s greatest living intellectual. He has been a beacon of historical wisdom, knowledge and truth. But perhaps even more, a towering wave of sanity in a sea of academic cowardice, arrogance, irrationality and anti-American dishonesty.
Gad Saad@GadSaad
Absolutely correct. @realDonaldTrump, let's make it happen. Dr. Sowell is a true intellectual treasure. Dignity personified.
