Anthropic’s AI model Claude gets popularity boost after US military feud Claude climbs to top of app store charts in US and UK after being blacklisted by Pentagon over ethics concerns

Just deleted ChatGPT from my iPhone and MacBook, and I’ll now be using Claude.

The folks behind Palantir and OpenAI seem to have taken the wrong lessons from TLOTR and Terminator.

Before people delete their account, I would urge people to browse their ChatGPT settings and purge all their chats and the memory that ChatGPT has of the user. After that, delete the account.

But wait, there’s more! My opposition doesn’t hinge on whether the war is well-planned or not. I’m against the war. It doesn’t hinge on whether it’s legal or not. Congressional warpigs could vote for itβ€”that doesn’t make it better. I’m against the war. Period. Simple.

When I thought about the debt the other day, I kinda came to the same conclusion.

Remember during the 2012 election, when all the pundits and "business experts" cited the relative handful of successful PE deals as proof that private equity isn't bad, actually? They "imposed discipline," etc. Sigh.

How Manipulation and Media 'Fluff' Helped Hitler Rise to Power "After reading these stories, people would feel like they knew the β€˜true’ Hitler, the private man behind the FΓΌhrer mask."

The NYT, even *if* it’s not intentional, has been normalizing violent extremist right wing rhetoric and ideology.

The same mistake was made in the past when the first Nazis were coming to power, the media at the time normalized them, just like the NYT is doing now.
