I'm pretty sure I know. They aren't. We're not going to really be able to make a lot of progress in dealing with the implications of this tech unless and until we get rid of all this "woo-woo" talk about LLMs. Anthropic pushing this line is PR, unserious.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

In this Ohio diner, the clap is what you do after every high school football game. But they do know this: it’s not surprising that a guy whose operating systems are always getting viruses contracted an STD from a prostitute.

A civilisation which throws out 13 million smartphones a day cannot be described as a civilisation. It is an infection that spreads mercilessly until it is consumed by its own waste.

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

Apparently people are surprised that a man whose only friends on the world stage are a KGB agent & a North Korean Stalinist planned to unleash a murderous secret police on his population.

Why should we take Donald Trump seriously? He lies all the time.

His policies are jacking up prices on everything from cars to food.
