That is nothing
We received about 1 foot of snow in my little town in CO. And we received 56" at the snow area.

Seriously, that is extreme. Stay in, make sure you have enough blankets. If possible, someone to snuggle with.

While every tech company is lining up to make $ any which way, Anthropic (claude) has refused to allow their AI to be used for mass surveillance and to kill people without human command...very commendable.

Should be a no-brainer, right?

Should be, but huge defense contracts at stake ..takes guts and principles.

Agree. Imagine any of these companies taking that same stance: MS, Apple, Meta, Google or any of the Elon companies. No way they will even accept considering limiting their AI only for beneficial purposes.

OpenAI Reaches A.I. Agreement With Defense Dept. After Anthropic Clash
The deal came hours after President Trump had ordered federal agencies to stop using artificial intelligence technology made by Anthropic, an OpenAI rival.
OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, said on Friday that it had reached an agreement with the Pentagon to provide its artificial intelligence technologies for classified systems, just hours after President Trump ordered federal agencies to stop using A.I. technology made by rival Anthropic.

Under the deal, OpenAI agreed to let the Pentagon use its A.I. systems for any lawful purpose. The San Francisco company also said it had found a way to ensure that its technologies would not be applied for domestic surveillance in the United States or with autonomous weapons by installing specific technical guardrails on its systems.

“In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome,” Sam Altman, OpenAI’s chief executive, said in a social media post, using the initials for the Department of War, the administration’s preferred name for the Department of Defense.

The Department of Defense did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
