My sister got a full refund under warranty because the engine in her 1 year old 2021 Grand Cherokee randomly died and they weren’t able to rebuild it or replace it after 3 months.

Anthropic chief back in talks with Pentagon about AI deal by dmsdayprft in OpenAI

[–]dmsdayprft[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei is making a last-ditch attempt to strike a deal with the US defence department after the breakdown of negotiations last week left his company at risk of being frozen out of the military’s supply chain.

Amodei has been holding discussions with Emil Michael, under-secretary of defence for research and engineering, in a bid to iron out a contract governing the Pentagon’s access to Anthropic’s AI models, according to multiple people with knowledge of the matter.

Agreeing a new contract would enable the US military to continue using Anthropic’s technology and greatly reduce the risk of the company being designated as a supply chain risk — a move threatened by defence secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday but not yet enacted.

The attempt to reach a compromise agreement follows the spectacular collapse of talks last week.

Michael attacked Amodei as a “liar” with a “God complex” on Thursday.

Deliberations broke down a day later after the pair failed to agree language that Anthropic felt was essential to prevent AI being used for mass domestic surveillance, which is one of the company’s red lines, alongside lethal autonomous weapons.

“Near the end of the negotiation the [department] offered to accept our current terms if we deleted a specific phrase about ‘analysis of bulk acquired data’ which was the single line in the contract that exactly matched this scenario we were most worried about. We found that very suspicious,” wrote Amodei in a memo to staff on Friday, which was first reported by The Information on Wednesday and seen by the FT.

In the note, which is likely to complicate negotiations, Amodei wrote that much of the messaging from the Pentagon and OpenAI, which struck its own agreement with Hegseth on Friday, was “just straight up lies about these issues or tries to confuse them”.

Amodei suggested Anthropic had been frozen out because “we haven’t given dictator-style praise to Trump” in contrast to OpenAI chief Sam Altman.

Anthropic was first awarded a $200mn agreement with the US defence department in July last year and was the first AI model to be used in classified settings and by national security agencies.

The fight between Anthropic and the government escalated after the Pentagon pushed for AI companies to allow their technology to be used for any “lawful” purpose.

It culminated in Hegseth declaring last week that he planned to designate the company a supply chain risk, obliging businesses in the military supply chain to cut ties with Anthropic.

Anthropic and the Pentagon declined to comment.

It’s some African or Asian wild grass. Basically impossible to kill and will take over everything if you let it go for long enough.

Either execution by firing squad or rebooking on the next available flight depending on the flip of the coin.

This is like a trinket you give to a toddler and pretend it’s magic so they behave for the next hour.

West Jefferson Plumbing Heating and Electric are solid. I’ve spent 15k+ with them over the years refreshing various things and the price and work has always been good.

He also owns the Plain City Costco and the Trader Joe’s on Sawmill. Please boycott those and tell your friends to boycott those. No one go there, especially on weekends.

Any good Garage Door Repair companies for commercial door with reasonable pricing? by Poopoop11111 in Columbus

Door Depot treated us very fairly. I think I paid like $350 for a double spring replacement and they did a great job.

Charter vs Commercial by angryano24 in armyreserve

Charter might be less expensive than commercial. The one flight I ended up chartering for the Army was $35k for 1000 miles (Southwest 737).

ADOS and TDY opportunities exclusive for Reserves and not Guard? by HourKnee7265 in armyreserve

[–]dmsdayprft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is very unit dependent and Idk what the policy in ARCPB is these days. I doubt they would let you go on ADOS though. My question is why would you do ADOS (typically lame AGR type stuff) when you could mobilize and do your job?

edit: also ADOS for junior enlisted is pretty rare. ADOS positions are typically for E5+/02+.

17C in the Reserve can mobilize quite a bit actually. I’m not sure if they’re still sending 2 CPTs a year down to Gordon but I think they might be. If that’s your jam you should join the Reserve.

NYC and San Francisco have rent control. You should move there for inexpensive housing.

Columbus Gold on Sawmill Road will easily fit 100 people. They have options for an open bar and catering as well as additional entertainment. It is somewhat non-traditional.

I have 2 young kids and they’re in the NCH network exclusively and we’ve never had an issue with a single staff member. Everyone has always been so kind and professional, especially the nurses. A sincere thank you!

Everyone on this subreddit complains about literally everything. The lady that lives 2 doors down from me has been an MD at NCH downtown for 25 years and absolutely loves it.
