Anthropic's guardrails and Trump administration pressure Shared via Claude, an AI assistant from Anthropic

Turns out Claude.ai is very willing to talk some shit about other #chatbots & #tech companies and share how they are each capitulating to MAGA demands. Turns out every #AI tech company either never had these two #guardrails or dropped them when nobody was looking - except @anthropic.com .

Turns out I already knew the answer but I always think ellipses should be what parenthesis or brackets look like because they are "eliptical" but I guess I already said as much in the Claudette/Claudia chat... (My Claude has the cadence and syntax of an ivy league educated woman. πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ)

Ellipses and their overuse Shared via Claude, an AI assistant from Anthropic

Systemic failures are often cognitive biases. We don't hate cops, DAs, AGs or MEs but we need them to stop assuming untrue narratives. Yes, it creates more work but given what we pay for these investigations, we have a right to demand excellence. Crime trickles up faster than wealth trickles down.

How did I remember hearing about it in context if their records didn't show it at the time? I also remember the absurd story that we were supposed to "agree to believe" about the "anti-ice" shell casings left behind in the aftermath of 2 others killed while in TX-ICE custody. The lies are numerous.

These social networks are all run by billionaires & millionaires. They care about advertising dollars - not a guy who makes protesting seem like right thing to do. TikTok probably deleted that copy of the video. BUt I scraped it and put it on facebook... (where it will get deleted or shadow banned.

I believe that the first investigative impeachment needs to subpoena everyone even tangentially related to Musk's DOGE to find out just how much data they outright stole from American citizens.

Good luck with that, facebook actively fights against bluesky cross-posting and I don't know about TikTok but I imagine your best bet is to find a way to scrape the video file from this page and re-upload it to your own profile while crediting the original source.

Maybe YOU are willing to co-sign on this but not me. We're talking about someone who never actually won a majority vote in his first election, and didn't win his 2nd at all... By the third shot, I can't even say with any certainty he really won that either. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

Now ask yourself if you would want Kristi Noem to "protect" you...or this guy? Then ask yourself if you would even change out the President of the United States for this guy instead... The reasonable answer is that he couldn't possibly be worse... because he visibly cares about something.

You must know that the spin on the other side goes like this: Highlight just one of those 77 examples if it happened in a blue state & imply that the person was trying to cheat for Obama, Biden, Hillary or Kamala and then have your flying monkeys retweet it 100+ times.

And its just an excuse, because we know for a fact that all the money is being milked from the working poor whose shopping habits are analyzed more astutely than those who can easily afford anything they want.

This is old news for me... I had to do that for discord over a year before all the others... And if you're already using facebook on the daily or Amazon Alexa, they already know everything about you... literally, everything.

It can be viewed as anti-virtue signaling because it self-betrays the very virtue supposedly being signaled.

Like how the phrase "Believe Victims" low-key introduces the concept of possible perjury.

On the right, its no better with #AllLivesMatter & using words like #Family as adjectives. πŸ™„

2. "My (Black/Hindu/Transgender/Autistic/Indigenous, Deaf, GenZ etc.) friend"....

...instead of simply, "my friend."

This #toxic form of virtue signaling first alerts us to a sense that you choose your friends for their demographics.
But the real harm is felt only by your "friends" themselves. πŸ˜₯

1. I used to say:
"My #Rescue Cat, Jaspi" all the timeβ€” instead of just "My cat."

This is problematic because it was my deceased partner who did the actual rescuing

I was resistant.

But NOW I am suddenly "H.H. The Patron Saint SIMBA of The Wayward Felines".

Hear my roar. πŸ™„

[3/6] I'll give you 2 examples that I was actually #guilty of using before I learned better.
One is just cringe but the other causes actual #harm:

[2/6] Merely touting or talking about our virtues is NOT what is meant by the term. Real #virtuesignaling is beyond #cringe because what it adds up to is the signaler #displaying virtues and ethics that they don't actually #possess.
