We're basically alternating between unincorporated county residents opposing a tax increase and Maple Valley residents opposing affordable housing. "We shouldn't have to pay for the people who can't afford to live here," one Maple Valley resident just said.

I'm tuned into the Maple Valley City Council tonight, where a vote is expected to either implement an MFTE program intended to incentivize affordable housing...or fully repeal it. There's been significant public opposition, especially from residents of nearby unincorporated areas due to tax impact.
Flyer reading Unincorporated King County Stop The MFTE Tax We Pay They Decide We Have No Voice Another Tax. No vote. Enough is enough.

Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable. Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice. The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trump’s hands.

I saw some folks asking what the difference was between what OpenAI signed with the DoD and what Anthropic said they wanted, and Sam more or less admits here the key point: OpenAI's deal requires them to trust the NSA. Anthropic's contract had real safeguards.
User Chris: What was the core difference why you think the DoW accepted OpenAI but not Anthropic

Sam Altman: 
I can't speak for them, but to speculate with the best understanding of the situation.

*First, I saw reporting that they were extremely close on a deal, and for much of the time both sides really wanted to reach one. I have seen what happens in tense negotiations when things get stressed and deteriorate super fast, and I could believe that was a large part of what happened here.

*We believe in a layered approach to safety--building a safety stack, deploying FDEs and having our safety and alignment researcher involved, deploying via cloud, working directly with the DoW. Anthropic seemed more focused on specific prohibitions in the contract, rather than citing applicable laws, which we felt comfortable with. We feel that it it's very important to build safe system, and although documents are also important, I'd clearly rather rely on technical safeguards if I only had to pick one.

*We and the DoW got comfortable with the contractual language, but I can understand other people would have a different opinion here.

*I think Anthropic may have wanted more operational control than we did

NEW: DHS left embedded comments in a PDF outlining its plans to warehouse immigrants, identifying the architects and laying bare the gross extent of its regulatory capture. Great scoop by @regret.bsky.social: www.wired.com/story/metada...
In a note embedded on top of an FAQ question, “What is the average length of stay for the aliens?” Tim Kaiser, the deputy chief of staff for US Citizenship and Immigration Services, asked David Venturella, a former GEO Group executive whom The Washington Post described as an adviser overseeing an ICE division that manages detention center contracts, to “Please confirm” that the average stay for the new mega detention centers would be 60 days.

Venturella replied in a note that remained visible on the published document, “Ideally, I'd like to see a 30-day average for the Mega Center but 60 is fine.”
