I converted to Catholicism last year. Here's why I think Jesus was a liberal cuck.

I’ll put it simply: despite its positioning as the trustworthy, “nice” AI lab, Anthropic is as big, ugly and wasteful as OpenAI, and Dario Amodei is an even bigger bullshit artist than Sam Altman. Worse still, Anthropic continually abuses its users through varying rate limits to juice revenues and user numbers - along with Amodei’s gas-leak-esque proclamations - to mislead the media, the general public and investors about the financial condition of the company. Based on an analysis of many users’ actual token burn on Claude Code, I believe Anthropic is burning anywhere from $3 to $20 to make $1, and that the product that users are using (and the media is raving about) is not one that Anthropic can actually support long-term. I also see signs that Amodei himself is playing fast and loose with financial metrics in a way that will blow up in his face if Anthropic ever files its paperwork to go public. In simpler terms, Anthropic’s alleged “38% gross margins” may, if we are to believe Amodei’s own words, not the result of “revenue minus COGS” but “how much a model cost and how much revenue it’s generated.” Anthropic is also making promises it can’t keep. It’s promising to spend $30 billion on Microsoft Azure (and an additional "up to one gigawatt”), “tens of billions” on Google Cloud, $21 billion on Google TPUs with Broadcom, “$50 billion on American infrastructure,” as much as $3 billion on Hut8’s data center in Louisiana, and an unknowable (yet likely in the billions) amount of money with Amazon Web Services. Not to worry, Dario also adds that if you’re off by a couple of years on your projections of revenue and ability to pay for compute, it’ll be “ruinous.” I see no difference between OpenAI’s endless bullshit non-existent deal announcements and what Anthropic has done in the last few months. Anthropic is as craven and deceptive as OpenAI, and Dario Amodei is as willing a con artist as Altman, and I believe is desperately jealous of his success. And after hou…

Working on this week's premium: The Hater's Guide To Anthropic, or "DarioWare: Get It Together." I'll have a huge free intro (3k words or so) to go with it. Out Friday. Full preview Thursday.

Explaining to charli xcx fans what she did wrong: ok so russian occupation isn’t brat

This is all I think about when people post about Obama these days. He started the neo-apeasement of Russia by the US that got us here where we are now.

chipped in a bit, and you should too

Everyone remember when Facebook had a hand in the Rohingya genocide? Well now Instagram is helping russia in its human trafficking program aimed at Africa to aid its genocide in Ukraine. Let Meta and Instagram know how you feel.

A few days ago I heard that a friend of a family lost a cat.
The animal died due to chronic illness that got worse due to the cold.

The list of the things that hurt can go on on and on nonstop.

_I am_ fine, but many others are endangered by russia and are suffering.

TENURED YALE PROFESSOR IN AN OP-ED: In our society we have too often accepted the heckler’s veto, allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good and making the refusal to forgive our highest virtue

I really wish we could take some of the negative valence off of “performative” because performance is tremendously important right now especially

Ukrainians being Ukrainians: even in the hardest times, humor is our everything.

what do you mean by "Springtime of Nations definition"?

#UkrainianView
So, when Trump and putin "negotiated not to bomb Kyiv", russians decided to simply bomb other cities.

Human garbage, seriously.

well, shit

This is how we end up with western youth frothing at the mouth, yelling at victims to stop “demonising” russia cause it’s a “real country” with “culture”. None of that should matter, considering they’re a fascist empire. And also - they’re a settler-colonial “made-up” state, fyi.

This is NOT a coincidence.

Propaganda is not all in your face “russia is glorious, kill all Ukrainians”, they are appealing to all groups including progressive pro-LGBTQ+ youth with that hockey show, they want all of you to think russia is anything but a genocidal fascist state.

Every day, I wake up, take a shower, have a cup of coffee, clean my feathers, climb to the top of my black spruce, and sing my song that tells everyone whose spruce this is

Bread? Jeans? Chewing gum? The possibilities are endless.

It is what it is, man. At least it's done, sort of, kind of, planned to be done someday in the future that is.

is there a reason people don't refer to them as "lice"? seems apt and on the surface

I simply think it should be harder to block windfarms without making it easier to build data centers, because we need more windfarms and it is not obvious to me that we need more data centers.

screenshot of a news website with a headline: "Like hitting a mule": Trump envoy says Ukraine aid pausee designed to get Kyiv's attention", and the first paragraph "The best way I can describe it is sort of like hitting a mule with a two-by-four across the nose. You got their attention," Keith Kellog said, defending the Trump administration's suspension of military aid as necessary to refocus Kyiv's priorities.

is that two-by-four the board of peace that everyone talks about?

World Economic Forum + Add to myFT Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns Al boom could falter without wider adoption

Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella has warned that Al risks becoming a speculative bubble unless its use spreads beyond big tech companies and wealthy economies. Nadella on Tuesday said that the long-term success of the fast-developing technology would depend on it being used by a broad range of industries as well as on uptake outside of the developed world. "For this not to be a bubble by definition, it requires that the benefits of this are much more evenly spread," said Nadella. He noted that a "tell-tale sign of if it's a bubble" would be if only tech groups were benefiting from the rise of AI, rather than companies in other sectors.

Microsoft CEO says AI “risks becoming a speculative bubble unless its use spreads beyond big tech companies and wealthy economies.” Brother you’re the one building this dogshit, we’re three years and hundreds of billions in, how have you not worked it out?

Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale

Cows: At long last, we have created the Cow Tools from classic newspaper comic Cow Tools

personally I just think it’s funny how I was raised conditioned to think Ukraine is inferior to many western countries who are now flattering monsters while using Ukraine as a shield that happens to have a beating heart. Turns out the disillusionment hits both ways
