Apparently trying to work and innovate with the latest Claude is not possible when dealing with microorganisms or cybersecurity.
Our WG is asking Anthropic, but that would be a pity---there is so much to do with microorganisms (sure, this is a double edged comment).

Oh ho, rumors that Japan is discussing removing the permanent visa status, and getting hard on immigration.
Rumors, and HR departments asking people to share their exact status, etc. Highly qualified colleague (HB-1 like) whose 5-year visa renewal has become one year despite marriage and child.
New government alright. But the mood is different this time.

The JP government announced changes that will authorise selling weapons. So long pacifism.
But I can’t help thinking that selling weapons is also—or more—an economic move. 30 years of sluggish economy addressed only via macroeconomic maneuvers a la quantitative easing, and typical neoliberal recipes like privatisations. When out of ideas, fall back to selling weapons.
