Exactly, compare banning books to banning guns.

pczyon AWS Bedrock to require sharing data with Anthropic for Mythos and future models

This policy applies across all providers. Here is the warning in Cursor: https://i.redd.it/7sfyker2ya6h1.png

Note that Anthropic has committed not to train models on logged data, so I don’t understand some of the concerns here. What exactly is your threat model?

pczyon The Fed Will Buy Bond ETFs Now

As far as I'm aware, the arbitrage mechanism works both ways. Continuing your analogy, authorized participants are able to trade the underlying turkeys for new tokens, or redeem the tokens for turkeys. When the price of a token is bidded up, its price becomes attractive relative to the turkeys. Authorized participants buy the underlying turkeys, create new tokens and then sell those tokens to take a risk free profit. This continues as long as there is a price mismatch, and ensures that ETF prices are in sync with the underlying assets.
