Why? Amazon makes tons of money serving Anthropic models through Bedrock and they seem to have basically given up on their own frontier models.

This is just silly. You can't even reserve capacity because you only store size and capacity is implicitly the next power of 2 >= size.

Why do you think that the "no foreign nationals" stipulation wasn't designed to be impossible to comply with, while also sounding to the uneducated public like a reasonable national security requirement?

You get high trust through social norms, not by more "laws and regulations". Social norms can't be imposed by fiat, they arise spontaneously, often for unclear reasons. That's why they're so fragile and precious. With Trump's destruction of social norms around the presidency and the federal government generally, the US is now just another country where bribery is the cost of doing business.

I love how Western media will just print anything the Ukrainian government tells them with zero confirmation.

Well, a lot of that US (and German!) industrial expertise was applied well before the war, in the 20s and 30s.

It's certainly plausible that Moscow could have fallen if Hitler hadn't diverted Army Group Center to Kiev etc., which would have been a major political/logistical setback, but I still doubt it would have changed the ultimate outcome (especially if it had left the units of the Red Army intact that were encircled and destroyed in that diversion).

I have heard casual antisemitism from strongly pro-Israel evangelicals. There is no reason to think these attitudes are mutually exclusive.

"If it were possible to effectively slow the development of this technology to give ourselves more time to deal with its immense implications, we think that would likely be a good thing. But if a slowdown simply lets the least cautious actors catch up technologically, it could leave everyone less safe."

How convenient for investors. They talk like they're a nonprofit instead of a VC-backed business chasing an IPO.

Balancing your news consumption among right and left fringe sources isn't a great way to find the truth "in the middle".

Of course it is and always has been. However, since 2023 with the failure of the overhyped summer counteroffensive, the mainstream narrative has shifted in a slightly more realist direction, which infuriates a lot of people.

I bet if you read actual Ukrainian Telegram channels that openly discuss military setbacks and government corruption you would conclude they are "anti-Ukrainian".

I think the USSR would have won the war regardless of US involvement, but it might have taken a few more years.

A parallel mistake is the widespread belief taught in schools that the essence of the Nazi ideology was anti-Semitism, rather than anti-Communism.
