Why
β€ͺ@why.bsky.team‬
Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff.

In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast

Last July, Anthropic agreed to ink a $200 million contract with the Pentagon, allowing the department broad-based use of its Claude model as the two prospective partners gradually worked out the final terms of engagement. Those were supposed to get etched last weekβ€”only for Anthropic to undergo a decisive test for its oft-professed ethical boundaries.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth demanded that his team be allowed to deploy Claude’s software in whatever manner they deemed pertinent, including applications for domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weaponry, which were β€œred lines” for Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. On Friday afternoon, President Donald Trump ordered a six-month phaseout of all uses of Claude at the federal level. Hegseth then designated Anthropic a supply-chain risk to national security, all but forbidding any military contractors from doing future business with the company. A federal contract was subsequently bestowed upon Anthropic rival OpenAI, which unconvincingly claimed that it would try to safeguard tools like ChatGPT from use in population surveillance and autonomous weapons.

The fallout for Anthropic has been remarkable. It’s the first-ever American company to be deemed a supply-chain risk, which means it’s already lost several users across the federal government. But something even stranger emerged in the aftermath: a lotta liberal goodwill. Social media campaigners encouraged their followers, even the A.I. skeptics, to download Claude en masse. Extremely online observers came up with bizarre metaphors to characterize Anthropic’s heroism, and pushed Claude to the top of the app-store charts over the weekend. By Monday morning, there was a Claude service outage that Anthropic attributed to β€œunprecedented demand” for its products. Even Sen. Brian Schatz and Katy Perry got in on the whole thing. (The fact that American commandos had still used Claude to plan the Saturday strikes on Iran did not appear to faze many of these folks.) Meanwhil…

Sentona Games stole $24,000 worth of labor from this writer and now refuses to pay her what she's owed.

Ilja Immler and Andrea GlavačeviΔ‡ Jakubi are listed as the co-founders of Sentona Games.

Do not do work for Sentona Games. Do not do work with Ilja Immler or Andrea Jakubi.

β€œLow-Wage 20” Report Calls Out Companies Paying Workers Below Medicaid, SNAP Thresholds None of the 20 companies provided median pay that allowed workers to afford a two-bedroom rental.

Some of the lowest-paying S&P 500 corporations that pay workers so little that many are dependent on public benefits to access food or health care include Amazon, Autozone, Best Buy, Dollar General, Lowe’s, FedEx, Home Depot, Kroger, Starbucks, Tyson Foods, Target, and Walmart.

Because she was working with a federal task force, she was considered a federal officer, and thus protected by SCOTUS rulings making it all but impossible to sue federal cops, even for egregious abuse.

Now consider what this means for Trump's immigration thugs.

Democrats had two years to fix this.

Foil sticker I did long ago in Substance. It's all PBR so the colors don't shift at all, but the pattern is tight enough I think it still reads.

Marathon could do something really crazy and just have Pfhor invade Tau Ceti and just have the map filled with fights between Pfhor and UESC, but the Pfhor are actively taking loot from the map.
