Damn. Team successfully gets a project from a governmental space agency. Now everyone has to get an online research ethics course on a late 90s website. No LLM escape hatch this time.
Trump Media and fusion energy in the same sentence is really weird, and politically worrying.
When media can self-power, they cannot be stopped spreading whatever they want. Law systems are too slow to course-correct.
Many tokens to get this Claude advice, verbatim:

Still hesitating to press apply or not.
The crime rate in the US is record low for 2025. Something like -20% on average.
Problem with raw numbers and absence of context is to know why. Is that because the apparently brutal show of force scares offenders, or it scarves people to go out in the first place?
Bank of Japan has just increased interest rates to highest for the past 30 years. New rate is 0.75%
Can anyone share links to explanation why cryptocurrency holders seem to freak out about this announcement?
Looking for a link to an old Celebrity deathmatch video featuring RAGTM, top links were reports of the death of Zach de la Rocha.
All the reports were hoaxes. Apparently same for many artists.
Whether or not you want to pay for LLM services.
From GH mailing list: “introducing a new $0.002 per-minute GitHub Actions cloud platform charge that will apply to self-hosted runner usage”
So we will have to pay for using our own compute. Sure part of it is GH software, but steep price at scale. Enshittification’s crawling for MS to pay OpenAI bills?
“Experimentally, financial incentives for commenting reduced participation differentials, whereas we did not find effects from a civility norm treatment. These findings support preference- and incentive-based accounts of participation but suggest that light-touch interventions are unlikely to bridge participation gaps, let alone polarization.”
Reddit-based study. Interesting that financial incentives can make political discussion more balanced. The new Farcaster stance may push this experiment to the next level notably in scale, and more multicultural (perhaps on the latter as there is homogeneity here).

The OpenAI label is 10 year old today.
The company looks like now stable in its intentions and actual choices for the future for about what, a year?
For founders, their story may better be understood as an exception, more than an example to follow or even aim at. Very complex geopolitical, climato-weirdness underlying context.
When you start thinking that making the legal system free may well *reduce* the volume of procedures.
Suing parties are often lions with a sheepish coat. They believe that their superior resources will allow winning by exhaustion. And that happens more and more, even for big tickets like Paramount, medias who are supposed to inform. And getting scary on independent journalism crawling under law suits that drain their little means (when they win, they still have to pay their solicitors, etc)
But if the legal system is free---as in a complete public service, so tax pays for it---the incentive to aim at winning by exhaustion becomes way less appealing. Many would not sue anymore, as the risk to lose is way higher. Such a reset looks like really implementing a notion of equality.

Perhaps gloomier for daily life is that this'd lead to less exciting TV shows.
A bit sad Japanese cies do product trials and launch outside Japan.
Correction. I feel some enlightenment on Japanese culture and economics. It seems innovation in Japan is about trying something outside the blessed land, succeed there or just get noticed with a "come back".
It looks more like a crusading abroad campaign mechanism. There are counterexamples like the Walkman, Nintendo products, and perhaps some mangas and Miyazaki and Shinkai, but solid examples too. Takeshi "Beat" Kitano was unknown in Japan before his merry Christmas with David Bowie. A few local clothes brands were started in Hawaii, still a common trick these days. Wax on, wax off.

To put your mouth where the money goes is not business courage. It is plain business.
Business courage is to refuse the money and hold on your values.
So for most people, courage is in fact non-sensical border line craziness.
And yet there are cantos about heroic entrepreneurs making the hard decision to opt for where the money is. This is just “rational” in the current era, neither cantosable nor heroic nor courage, nor any Roman Empire virtual quality one imagines.
