In the memo, Amodei said the strained relationship between Anthropic and the Trump administration stemmed from Anthropic's unwillingness to cozy up to the current administration.

"The real reasons [the Department of War] and the Trump admin do not like us is that we haven't donated to Trump (while OpenAI/Greg have donated a lot)," he said, likely referring to OpenAI President Greg Brockman's donation of $25 million to a Trump super PAC, together with Brockman's wife.

"We haven't given dictator-style praise to Trump (while Sam has), we have supported AI regulation which is against their agenda, we've told the truth about a number of AI policy issues (like job displacement), and we've actually held our red lines with integrity rather than colluding with them to produce 'safety theater' for the benefit of employees (which, I absolutely swear to you, is what l

You don't have to like AI to understand that what Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump are trying to do to Anthropic is unprecedented in recent American history.

The people who pretended to care about a "censorship industrial complex" are trying to effectively criminalize dissenting opinions.

Self-described "popularists" who oppose incorporating reproductive rights as a centerpiece issue do not have data on their side.

The public opposes the far-right agenda on bodily autonomy. Democrats should enable that majority because it's right--and because it's good politics.

Coaches for Campus Freedom - Stand for Campus Freedom America’s universities are facing political interference. Alumni groups are uniting together to defend democracy and protect academic freedom.

This is interesting. The coaches are realizing that culture war bullshit is making their lives more difficult! Hard to convince a talented Black kid to come to your school when you've shut down the African American Studies Program:

In the last decade, the Atlantic has not platformed a single trans person to speak about issues affecting them or the broader trans community. Not a single one. Yet, they have monthly screeds by Helen Lewis and endless money to pay random transphobic grifters to pump stuff like this out.

Rather than deal with institutional racism and instructor bias, just make POC students ask questions to the robot while white students get human teachers.

"AI layoffs" like Block's are a race to the bottom that have nothing to do with productivity. You won't be replaced by AI, nor a person using AI, because backfills aren't real.

Jack Dorsey is copying the 2023 leadership framework:
- overhire
- lay everyone off
- pretend it's because of AI productivity gains
- stock go up

The layoff victims were some of the most productive, AI-pilled people in the company, but it didn't save them, because that's not what it was about.

In Plunging Into a Mideast Conflict, Trump Gambles His Presidency

To call something a gamble implies something you can win or or at least come out ahead of where you started - but there is no such scenario here because the war has no coherent objective. Even Trump barely pretends to know what the point is.
