The hell
A 10-year-old girl in Staffordshire, England named Laura Buxton releases a balloon with her name and address on it in hopes of finding a penpal.
The balloon comes down 150 miles away in the backyard of the home of another 10-year-old girl…who is also named Laura Buxton.
After some confusion, the girls agree to meet.

Make no mistake: post-Mythos, the United States has a licensing regime for AI. It’s just informal, with no consistent rules or firm boundaries on state power or public transparency. Cobalt mining in the Congo is vastly more institutionalized than frontier AI licensing in the US.

NEW: a report from Vanderbilt and WashU just dropped, taking on the "state of scholarship in the humanities and social sciences," a big topic among critics of higher ed.

my personal Berenstein / Berenstain thing is that back in the google reader days I used to follow popehat's blog, and I could have sworn that he was not an insane murderous lunatic

I know a lot of you have rationalizations ready to go here, but you should know that the rest of us are fully aware that this reaction confirms Friday’s action was about retribution and not about national security.
Three months ago, @DeptofWar kicked @AnthropicAI out of our building—forever.
Every passing day proves why that was the right move. 🇺🇸

if the admin wants people to believe the anthropic decision was made out of genuine security necessity rather than grievance-driven retaliation, high ranking officials could simply stop posting like this

Is there a colorable argument for export controls on frontier models for national security purposes? Yes.
Is there grounds to think such reasons underly the administration’s actions against Anthropic? No.

These are clearly dual use technologies and we *should* have restrictions similar to ITAR on who can build and use them.

Your irregular reminder that most of what’s wrong with current federal politics is downstream of Congress continually failing to do its job.

Yeah, it's a real mess! The EAR/ITAR need to be amended to fix this. Singling out one company's models isn't an answer.

Ok I see: so if the output itself discloses info on how to build (e.g.) military weapons that’s export controlled. But banning *all* foreign access to the model seems extremely overbroad. You’re getting into real First Amendment territory!

What I speculate happened, is Trump et al used a jailbreaking excuse to try to restrict Claude to US citizens only in order to use it as a bargaining/bullying chip, and (as much as I dont like Dario) I think anthropic did the morally right thing to just cut it out from everyone.
