Could be that the temporary housing for construction workers transitions into detainment. Having an AI data canter close to a detainment facility streamlines security. Will the whole facility run on diesel and StarLink? Independent of the surrounding community and conveniently-failure-prone power and Internet?

Feels very accelerationist. Whomever is advising Hegseth properly identified risks to funding as a soft underbelly. By using it for target acquisition, even against the contractual terms, Claude is now a munition. OpenAI by extension.

So, the obvious path to nationalizing Anthropic would be DPA. Instead, Hegseth's group chose to try weakening it, especially among its close competition. So what I smell is an attempt to extract its core and Musk it into Grok.

Anthropic might be quite strong in court. Putting the best reasoning model into CPU-ring-0 survival mode was not on my 2026 bingo card.

Less, actually. Lockheed Martin made 620 MSE last year.

You could make it a little more convincing:

1. An uncertain Pacific launch seemed like a weak point. Instead, an arctic launch. Because volcanology studies things like CO2, maybe we fired the climate scientists who could tell whether a thermal bloom in the arctic could be volcanic instead of missile.

2. Make the President more contemporary. Have his phone full of spyware. Have him continually screen calls from his kids, influencers, and other seekers of patronage. Have him dodge the hovering sycophants and pardon-seeking lawyers. Demonstrate what he’s actually doing instead of preparing for the hardest part of the job.

3. Acknowledge that we have limited interceptors and that perfectly deploying them means that the first and last missiles get through.

My experience is that wargaming has a decent track record. In hindsight, Nimitz looks much more prepared than MacArthur, even if their early careers suggest the opposite.

It was a convenient misunderstanding about a call to the Palm Beach Sheriff. The FBI has a recording of the call, but probably ambiently from the Sheriff’s side. It’s a small ray of innocence for a guy like Trump. And he forgot all about it until by luck it was in the Epstein files.

It was inevitable for the mainstream media to connect Musk with the pressure campaign on Anthropic. Among people who use the English language professionally, the sloppy redefinition of “woke” raised a lot of red flags. It was never sharp, just a dull thought-ending judgment, always insanely rejecting Trump superiority. Is it clear enough to kill a corporation? If corporations are people (in the US, the Supreme Court has given them people rights), is this the right way to administer exile or even the death penalty? The mainstream media seems to wonder now, do we talk about that or will Elon Musk control Anthropic’s assets six months from now?

ICE played an important role in those cases with long supply chains. Seems quaint now, but I think we should acknowledge any criminal who does not participate in a child abuse ring. Those counterfeit DVDs were not illegal content, just illegal storefronts. If today’s ICE or FBI uncovered such a ring, who would they call first?

> mortified to show off a $10,000 watch, but excitedly tell you about their $100,000 kitchen remodel filled with 100-mile diet cookbooks and single-origin Japanese knives, or their 6-month work sabbatical they spent powerlifting. This is a group of people where a Subaru is a higher-status car than a Cadillac, but the highest status car is none.

Very Boulder, CO

Oh, the staffers representing the government in court will blithely use Claude for a few days before they realize why they shouldn’t.

I don’t see evidence for that. She expressed ambition to run for President. That threatened the secretive succession plan around Trump.
