Fascinating data on Project Nimbus:
• $1.2 billion a total contract value announced by Israel’s Finance Ministry in April 2021
• 4 planned phases: infrastructure construction, government policy development, migration of operations, and ongoing optimization
• Workloads officially described as finance, healthcare, transportation, and education
• Defense and military entities were involved in the project from its inception
• The agreement contractually blocks the companies from halting services because of boycott campaigns
• Internal documents reportedly showed awareness of potential human rights violation risks even before the contract was signed
Signals of where the world is headed.

Real free markets include the construction of collectives. If a group of people form a compact and purchase a plot of land, they get to set the terms of residency. If those terms are bad, they’ll be outcompeted by other collectives. And if they choose to contractually leave that plot and collective contract to their children, that is also their right.
The market system is emphatically not about economists dictating to every collective which policies they must adopt. It is evolutionary. Let a thousand nations bloom.

DoD position: If the government buys or licenses the model, it must be available for all lawful military purposes, not purposes selectively approved by Anthropic.
Amodei position: Anthropic has an ongoing responsibility to prevent certain categories of military use, even after deployment, and should be able to contractually restrict them.
“Even after deployment” to me means that Dario can say, during an operation, that he can restrict the use, not based on a contractual discussion, but based on his ad hoc judgment at the time.

Contractually guaranteed earnings for them those plants means (almost) guaranteed dividends for #HUBC as parent company for more than 2 decades. The EV business has been a disappointment but if Mega Motors get their act together, the present global situation is ideal for BYD.
