Attached to: Anthropic's $200M Pentagon Contract at Risk Over Objections to Domestic Surveillance, Autonomous Deployments
Not domestic surveillance or policing. That is restricted by the Posse Comitatus Act. That this is most probably a contract to operate the system means that Anthropic anticipated seeing the data during the course of business and wanted nothing to do with possible violations of the law. Or having to confront a customer about it after the fact. So they put a clause in the contract.
That limits how many law-enforcement agencies such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Federal Bureau of Investigation could deploy it
True for the Defense Department. However, ICE and the FBI are not restricted by the Posse Comitatus Act. So a separate contract with law enforcement agencies would need no such clauses. Solution: Don't mix Department of War and law enforcement business together.

Attached to: Microdosing For Depression Appears To Work About As Well As Drinking Coffee
most doctors, and people here, are giving advice about something they likely have never tried.
My orthopedic surgeon has never torn his own ACL. That said, many psychiatrists have better experience in spotting and treating conditions that may be contraindications for psilocybin. And many people trained in treating addictions may recognize those specific to magic mushrooms, including psychological dependance.
All of that aside, one sure sign of addiction is denial.

Probably correct. But all of the (valid) studies of microdosing psychedelics as treatments for depression or PTSD have involved sessions supervised by trained professionals. Instead of popping a few caps of 'shrooms and catching a jump seat ride on in a commercial airline cockpit.
To many people have developed false senses of expertise with regards to dosing themselves. But that is one sign of an addicted brain just trying to justify another hit.

LLMs and even human translators struggle with it.
It's not really that difficult. Just insert an occasional silent "round-eyed gaijin" into the translation.

neither does rich people meet and discuss how to advance their position - the latter is a conspiracy theory, in fact.
