It does however require that OS providers "Send only the minimum amount of information necessary to comply with this title and shall not share the digital signal information with a third party for a purpose not required by this title." (emphasis mine)

I wonder how much this is news outlets overreacting to a proposed bill that is not actually that bad

What do you mean, that's horrible on its own. None of this information should be necessary to run a computer. The computer shouldn't have to process this locally, let alone be mandated to upload it to someone's server.

Age verification is identity collection.

Reports of Anthropic's moral fiber have been greatly exaggerated:

Anthropic publicly praised President Trump’s AI Action Plan... We have been supportive of the President’s efforts to expand energy provision in the US in order to win the AI race.

I don't want to paraphrase him out of context, so here is his full statement:

"I don’t personally think the Pentagon should be threatening DPA against these companies. But I also think that companies that choose to work with the Pentagon, as long as it is going to comply with legal protections and the few red lines that the field, we have, I think we share with Anthropic and that other companies also independently agree with, I think it is important to do that. For all the differences I have with Anthropic, I mostly trust them as a company, and I think they really do care about safety, and I’ve been happy that they’ve been supporting our warfighters."

Why not both? I'm pretty sure Trump wanted to hold them legally responsible for whatever their system did too

No hard feelings. I screwed up, and you called me on it, fair and square.

I wonder whether this AI is being provided by Anthropic. Dario Amodei is okay with this stuff, as long as US citizens aren't being watched, after all.

Oh well.

Whatever tech company is indirectly subsidizing this, they probably have a ton of true believers saying that this is just an unfortunate little bump on the way to AGI.

Sounds like Sam Altman would be a better match for Donald Trump.

When the AI company only wants to be 99% Hitler (They're okay with their bot recommending bombing minorities overseas, but they don't want to be held liable when it pushes the button and the bomb comes down in America instead)

I'd consider a web server to be a kind of application. Turns out the pregnancy tester was just hacked for the screen, so that one probably doesn't count.

Computers can still be super small though. Gonna update with a few things that can run Linux.
