YES! I absolutely think human touch will be a premium in the AI era. Talented, brilliant people will be in high demand.

I tell my law students to get really good at whatever it is they want to do, because their specific insights and instincts will one day be an upcharge on top of bot service.

This is a bombshell: "the Pentagon wanted the company to allow for the collection and analysis of unclassified, commercial bulk data on Americans, such as geolocation and web browsing data"

This kind of agenda echoes the defunded Total Information Awareness effort, post-9/11

U.S. Races to Accomplish Iran Mission Before Munitions Run Out President Trump says the Iran campaign might last a week or longer, but dwindling stockpiles could limit his options.

Conflicts with Iran and its proxies in the Middle East are depleting the supply of U.S. air-defense interceptors in the region.

IVIG (Intravenous Immunoglobulin) saved my son's life & kept this man's cancer in remission for 20yrs. For those unfamiliar, treatment involves transfusion of part of the blood donations of strangers--the part with the antibodies created by their immune systems--to reset recipients' immune response.

The bigger context of the Anthropic-Pentagon fight is that it's the opening chapter in what will be a multi-year fight over to what extent American AI is nationalized. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Most of the time they include a readerโ€™s city and state. I signed from "New Orleans, Louisiana."

Fascism will be good for business is a common trope. Yet, they always end up killing the golden goose. Markets need law and order and predictability to function.

Donald Trump canceled Direct File after giant tax prep companies spent millions lobbying.

Why? Because Direct File let you file your taxes for free.

So today, Iโ€™m introducing a bill to make Direct File the law of the land. And 160 members of Congress are joining me.

So letโ€™s think about this.

A private company refused - on principle - to yield to the governmentโ€™s demands.

The government then cancelled its contracts with the company and has set about destroying it

Legal cases are like building blocks in creating an argument. If 75% of your building blocks are correct and 25% are wrong, you can't just take out the 25% that are incorrect and replace them with 25% correct blocks.

The entire building needs to be rearranged.

Anthropic will not cave to the Pentagonโ€™s demands.

The companyโ€™s restrictions on using Claude to spy on Americans and deploy fully autonomous weapons arenโ€™t just its ethical red lines.

They are also what a good faith interpretation of the Fourth Amendment and the law of war require.
