  • Trying to “Bring Back” Manufacturing Jobs Is a Fool’s Errand

    Advocates of recent populist policies like to focus on the supposed demise of manufacturing that occurred after the 1970s, but that focus is misleading.

With Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4 having finally triggered this level of safety risk, the clock is now ticking.”
