As Anthropic and OpenAI take opposite positions on the responsible uses of AI, keep in mind that Dario Amodei is an actual scientist with a Ph.D. in biophysics from Princeton, where he focused on electrophysiology of neural circuits.

Sam Altman is a high school-educated computer software salesman.

Kansas gov. vetoes bill saying it'd ban people from visiting grandparents of opposite sex - LGBTQ Nation The bill has strict provisions about who is allowed in to visit shared dorm and nursing home rooms, she said in vetoing the measure.

Kansas GOP are so obsessed with criminalizing trans people that they switched a bail bond bill & made it a bathroom bill with zero hearings, then rushed an emergency vote before anyone could respond. The law is so sloppily written a brother can't visit his sister in her college dorm.
