The contract, worth up to $200 million, requires Google to adjust AI safety settings at the Pentagon’s request but specifies that the technology must not be used for domestic mass surveillance or autonomous weapons without human oversight, and Google does not retain veto power over lawful operational decisions. The deal has sparked significant employee backlash, with more than 600 staff signing an open letter urging CEO Sundar Pichai to refuse providing AI for classified workloads, recalling earlier protests that led Google to drop the Project Maven contract in 2018.

So I'm back to a normal globe again (non-dimmable, non-colourised) - which feels rather primitive. I wouldn't have bothered buying one but this was a gift from my son. And the wee one loves it.

With the failures I've been encountering recently (maybe I shouldn't have started with a 2DS) maybe I should use an existing kernel because at this point I can't be bothered to write my own.

At least there'd be no AI slop involved.
