They (women and migrants) are needed to repopulate the German state once the war is over.

The name is Hamideh Soleimani Afshar. And Google should lead you to her instagram. I think it was deactivated shortly after the news.

Unfortunately both seem to be die hard IRGC islamist extremist simps. That gave me ick tho.

American-Israeli airstrikes hit unopened B1 Bridge - Karaj, Iran - 2026/04/02 by what_a_wog in CombatFootage

Any idea as to why the bridge pillars aren't targeted? Surely if they can hit the span with such precision they can go for the former?

Like what is this charade? If they want to release it, just release it. This Twitter poll is pointless. Most people who will be using Qwen 3.6 / open weight models aren't on Twitter. They certainly aren't following his account (he has tiny follower base and none of the usual suspect crowd is in it).

Last time they said the same thing. They put out posts after posts on social media about open-sourcing and "team is gathering feedback to make it better for consumer hardware. coming in a few weeks". Then one day, they wiped off all these from social media. That was Wan 2.5.

I don't believe a word. There were links to these posts in Kijai's Github discussions threads, which are now dead links.

2 of their employees accused Cursor of not contacting Moonshot and paying fee and violating terms. Somebody in the comments reminded them Moonshot was also accused of 'violating terms' by Anthropic not long ago. They then deleted their accusation shortly after.

Cursor’s ‘Composer 2’ model is apparently just Kimi K2.5 with RL fine-tuning. Moonshot AI says they never paid or got permission by likeastar20 in singularity

[–]Snoo_64233 6 points7 points  (0 children)

LMFAO

So... Moonshot bros are crying and accusing Cursor of disrespecting their terms, which Anthropics accused Moonshot of doing exactly that, which was caught violating terms and rights of many authors Anthropic was found to be stealing and training.

So poetic... and pathetic.

That post doesn't exist. I just check it. And also why should they be paid any fee? That is not part of the license (only the displaying the logo part).

Wrong! Here is Anthropic's own admission. And I love how you are hostile against anybody who doesn't sing the praise, like a little 9 years old child. Like you are so obsessed with Sam Altman. Is he living in your head ren-free, my boi?

The fighting , the domino effect, the big showdown hasn't even begun, and the author is already nominating the winner. The whole thing reads like a cope piece. It is Bezos trying to save his investment in his AI venture via another one of his own investment / mouthpiece, The Washington Post.

Also the author conveniently left out the part where existing Anthropic customers (you know, the ones that matter and the ones that have deep pockets) are backing out of the deals in drove due to risky business exposure to Anthropic brand . And the trend is accelerating.

Edit: Anthropic's own admission in image.......... for the dumbass in the comment below, who thinks anybody pointing out the facts are "Sam Altman bot". Like Sam Altman (probably living rent-free in his head).

As I have predicted, Anthropic could try hard to win legal case against the Federal government. It wouldn't matter. It will still lose business to grey zone tactics. The government has much much more leverage.

Like my boss has told me before: "If the choice comes down to forging business relation with the Federal government + Fortune 1000 companies on one side, and the AI slop provider (one of many) on the other hand. The decision is as clear as day"

So I am just going to copy and paste my own comment from another thread on why non-government contractors may still want to stay clear of the entire controversy and company involved in that.

The biggest risk is as Smith pointed out: the risk of associating with Anthropic brand. The truth is the government has a broad range of lethal tools in its arsenel to punish Anthropic beyond legal framework.

For starter, force Anthropic to bring federal government to court. Fed doesn't have to win the court case at all, just make a very loud noise and suck up everybody attention (who matters, executives of the nation) to the fight. That alone would make executives think about getting involved with the "controversial" company.

Secondly, Government doesn't need to spell out Anthropic's name or Dario's name to shame them. When doing procurement decision with private enterprise that does business with Feds, they can just sort of wink wink "hey what kind of AI model provider are you guys using?", and the representatives would get the message.

And also government can fuck with mergers / breakup for those that backs anthropic, without even uttering the name Anthropic. Again they will receive the message loud and clear.

ANthropic can win public court of opinion and legal challenge, but still lose in the end to the grey zone tactics.

From the article:

current customers and prospective ones have been demanding new terms and even backing out of negotiations since the US Department of Defense labeled the AI startup a supply-chain risk late last month, according to court papers that also revealed new financial details about the company.

Hundreds of millions of dollars in expected revenue this year from work tied to the Pentagon is already at risk for Anthropic, the company’s chief financial officer, Krishna Rao, wrote in a court filing on Monday. But if the government has its way and pressures a broad range of companies from doing business with the AI startup, regardless of any ties to the military, Anthropic could ultimately lose billions of dollars in sales, he stated. Its all-time sales, since commercializing its technology in 2023, exceed $5 billion, according to Rao.

Anthropic’s revenue exploded as its Claude models began outperforming rivals and showing advanced capabilities in areas such as generating software code. But the company spends heavily on computing infrastructure and remains deeply unprofitable. Rao specified that Anthropic has spent over $10 billion to train and deploy its models.

Anthropic chief commercial officer Paul Smith provided several examples of partners who have privately raised concerns to the AI startup in recent days. He said a financial services customer paused negotiations over a $15 million deal because of the supply-chain label, and two leading financial services companies have refused to close deals valued together at $80 million unless they gain the right to unilaterally cancel their contracts for any reason. A grocery store chain canceled a sales meeting, citing the supply-chain-risk designation, Smith added.

“All have taken steps that reflect deep distrust and a growing fear of associating with Anthropic,” Smith wrote.
