<p>* Given that for-profits can be given tax-breaks for (hopefully) good reasons [which are not altruistic];<p>* therefore non-profits can be given tax-breaks for (hopefully) good reasons [which are not altruistic].<p>A defense contractor designing missile guidance qualifies for the Exempt Purpose of "scientific."<p>A megachurch with a private jet qualifies under its "religious" category.<p>These do not specifically require altruistic intent. Congress chose to subsidize certain categories of activity (religious, scientific, educational, and so on) because it wanted more of that activity produced, regardless of the motives of the people doing it.</p>

<p>I think your position seems reasonable, too. Though intuitive, it isn't the reality.<p>The tax-exempt status is granted for Exempt Purposes, but not as a matter of altruistic intention: <a href="https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/charitable-organizations/exempt-purposes-internal-revenue-code-section-501c3" rel="nofollow">https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/charitable-organiz...</a><p>For example, ask your favorite LLM search engine: Can you list non-profits/501(c)(3) that are US defense contractors?<p>Draper Laboratory and Energetics Technology Center are registered 501(c)(3) corporations. Their primary output is weapons research. RAND Corp, whose name you'd likely recognize, is also a DoD contractor and 501(c)(3).<p>The NRA Foundation and the Heritage Foundation are also registered as 501(c)(3).</p>

<p>1st, this is unlike CAR-T as there is no extraction, engineering on that extraction, and then reinjection.<p>2nd, the only injection is intravenous. It uses a kind of virus that has been specifically engineered to cross the blood-brain barrier. That virus has a payload which infects/alters astrocytes already inside the brain, and the astrocytes become aggressive at clearing amyloid plaques.<p>3rd, I agree that the road to a marketable therapeutic could be a long way off.</p>

<p>@strcat, you've mentioned GrapheneOS will have access to internal code to do hardening below the OS layer.

<p>No, you probably haven't read the conversation piece. The post is ultimately about switching providers because Google's service crosses a line from (1) targeted advertising to (2) using personal and confidential information for model training.<p>A service to clean up the UI does nothing to solve the issue at hand.</p>

<p>This law demands a surveillance architecture, not just porn regulation. Once the norm and mechanism to de-anonymize content use exists, it can be expanded to any content, including political dissent, and for both accessing AND contributing to content (like, for example, on HN). The line should be drawn here.<p>The vague potential harm of sex doesn't justify the concrete harm of abolishing digital privacy. Further, it's just sex. Equating imagery of legal, natural activity with physical danger is an error.<p>It is blatantly dangerous to justify stripping citizens of their anonymity. The lawmakers who proposed this are oppressors. They are the danger to our children.</p>

<p>I am not challenging the safety release mechanism. The OP already demonstrated that.<p>I am challenging the result of that release in your poorly framed experiment.<p>You explicitly sought to test 'a different side of the spectrum.' You cannot equate a holistic character judgment with a narrowed, specific medical safety protocol judgement.<p>A clean account without memories will solve the tie-breaker issue.

<p>That comparison is flawed. You guided the LLM to judge a specific medical policy, whereas the OP asked for a holistic evaluation of the candidates. You created a framing instead of allowing the LLM to evaluate without your input.<p>Furthermore, admitting you have 'memories' enabled invalidates the test in both cases.<p>As an aside, I would not expect that one party's candidate is always more correct over the other for every possible issue. Particular issues carry more weight, and the overall correctness should be considered.</p>

<p>That's interesting, and I think I've seen that writing style before, although it might have been in infosec circles.
