@anthropic.com just published a 20,000-word "Constitution" for Claude. But it's less a governance doc than a character bible: a comprehensive moral philosophy for raising an AI to be a good person. My latest for @lawfaremedia.org. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

One of the (many) frustrations about the TikTok "deal" is that, because its details likely won't be made public, we won't know if it actually satisfies the law. And because of who Trump is, we can't trust his certification to Congress that the divestment is valid. www.semafor.com/article/01/2...
Exclusive: China, US sign off on TikTok US spinoff
The deal caps a yearslong battle between the social media app and the two superpowers.

The replies to this post are so depressing. Self-driving cars have the potential to save tens of thousands of lives. Minnesota should encourage this as much as possible, including by amending state law if necessary!
Waymo, the driverless ride-hailing company, is bringing its fleet of autonomous electric vehicles to Minneapolis.
Ridesharing without a driver? It's coming to Minneapolis
Testing will begin Thursday morning. No date has been set to start offering rides to passengers.
