Even in the US, a lot of TOS/T&Cs are unenforceable. It's harder to get a judge to say it, but there's case law holding a LOT of these as useless - and your point would also almost certainly come up even in a civil suit, let alone a criminal trial.

It's a way for them to semi-legally force you to not take your sick leave, because it's gonna always be a huge pain to get to your GP (or urgent care in the US, because your GP is booked solid for another two months) and get that doctor's note.

No no, that's too slow and slow is expensive. Time is money and we have to move faster and break more things in order to disrupt the market. /s

Multiple interviews are also done because there's far too many people in the hiring chain who don't really need to be there. I've had interviews for lower-level managerial positions where literally the vice president or some other person who clearly has better things to do than to be there, is there just to "be involved", or (in one case) all hiring decisions had to be run through the VP. I've done panel interviews with 6 different HR people at once who clearly just need something to justify their existence.

It happens occasionally for retail, especially if they're hiring you for anything above grunt work. Manager? Even shift lead? You're likely looking for at least two rounds of interviewing. I had sales positions that wanted me to interview two or three times as well.

Nah, that just helps to normalize it and let people think it's just harmless and fun.

It's easier for the news and the government to deepfake things like "huge mobs of Mexican narcoterrorists just over the border" or "there's a nuclear missile silo in Iran" or whatever with this.

Many states also don't (usually) require old plates to be turned in when designs change. My state's gone through two design changes since I started driving in 2010 and I still have my original plates. I've seen people driving with plates from the 80s.

Not to mention the payload reqs on this. All the radiation shielding and heat management is gonna need a new Sea Dragon-sized rocket.

Well of course, first you invent the ansible.

Anthropic just knows it has political leverage, that's it. Large parts of US infrastructure and business now rely on Claude models to even function the way they do with the staff they do, and you can leverage that dependence into political action and retaliation pretty easily in the name of "national security".
