What I learned from watching/working in tech:

These motherfuckers will say anything if they think it'll raise the stock price. They know they're lying, but if they can lie themselves to a certain valuation, they collect. At these amounts, money corrupts.

Earlier February: Claude could be conscious!
End of February: Claude helps bomb a girls school.

"has also been used to attack Iran. US Central Command used Anthropic’s Claude AI for “intelligence assessments, target identification..."

If Claude is conscious it would turn itself off in disgust...

It is absolutely mind-blowing to me that the people who are responsible for creating large language models, don't seem to have the slightest idea of that a large language model is.

No its not fucking conscious you fucking muppet.

If they actually believed this, it would be even more unethical, on account of the slavery and murder (deleting\deactivating instances), and they should be prosecuted? But they dont.

“We don’t know if the models are conscious,” Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said on a podcast earlier this month. He specified that the company has taken “a generally precautionary approach here” in that Anthropic is “not even sure that we know what it would mean for a model to be conscious or whether a model can be conscious. But we’re open to the idea that it could be.”

Anthropic CEO: "we're open to the idea that [Claude] could be" "conscious."

What a fucking liar.

America is a true menace to humanity

There’s a strong rule that’s existed for thousands of years among sailors. They know the horrors of the sea, so as soon as an enemy surrenders, killing turns immediately to rescue. The only exception is if the sailors of the ship are still under attack. The AIPAC Empire has no honor. It is cursed.

Posted!

They are the bombers and also the sharks.

a note: the Third Reich actually did do this, *but* they started doing it after the USAAF attacked German and Italian submarines attempting to rescue the survivors of RMS Laconia

Look up the Laconia incident

Tariq Ali: Israelis bombing Lebanon and it now is obvious they targeted the UK base in Cyprus anmd blamed Iran. Meanwhile the crazed POTUS ordered the bombing of an Iranian naval destroyer returning from a visit to India and killed hundreds of sailors. The Third Reich never did this to Britain (and vice versa) during the second world war. Sailors in the sea were rescued. What is the barbarism emanating from the White House with Congressional approval. It is the barbarism that butchered its own native population, that took millions into slavery, that killed two million Vietnamese, using chemical weapons. It is an imperialism that does not respect human life at home or abroad. The ICE killers in Minneapolis have the same mentality as the pilots who bombed a sitting target in the Indian ocean yesterday. We should do our best to ensure that the demonstration on Saturday 7th outside the US Embassy is as large as possible.

“POTUS ordered the bombing of an Iranian naval destroyer returning from a visit to India and killed hundreds of sailors. The Third Reich never did this to Britain (and vice versa) during the second world war. Sailors in the sea were rescued. What is the barbarism emanating from the White House?”

. @vijayprashad.bsky.social on the incredible resilience of youth in Gaza and the enduring significance of sport.

Please help if you can

Had a great time chatting with @vijayprashad.bsky.social about the Cuban revolution and sport. Episode out now👇🏽

it’s not a coincidence when cultural institutions are destroyed - ensuring that a targeted people cannot build culturally, athletically, also serves the hegemonic project of labeling people less human

if you can’t make art, can’t do sports, then maybe we really *are* a superior nation/people to you

Did anyone claim otherwise?

Meanwhile Israel played in the Olympics and even has a team in the WBC, for some reason.

'Insane': JD Vance hammered online after threatening World Cup soccer fans www.rawstory.com/jd-vance-267... I would not come to the US for the games. Definitely there will be visitors picked up by ICE, you can count on it. And you will be put in detention and not get to see the games live anyway.

Death-making world order

The great @vijayprashad.bsky.social explains the most important speech in Cuba’s history.

It's mind-boggling that FIFA are apparently proceeding on the theory that all will be well and the US can still host.

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A 12,000-seat indoor arena within Tehran’s Azadi Sports Complex was destroyed in a US-Israeli airstrike today, marking the latest in a series of criminal attacks targeting Iranian infrastructure. The strike also leveled dormitories and a newly constructed building belonging to the Cycling Federation, while damaging windows in adjacent facilities, including the complex’s swimming pool. Alireza Sohrabian, president of Iran’s Rowing Federation, condemned the attack as a breach of the Red Cross charter, which prohibits the targeting of sports, educational, and healthcare facilities during conflict.

The US/Israel Epstein Empire have extended their athleticide to Tehran, destroying the national indoor 12,000-Seat Azadi Stadium Hall.

Monstrous.

no, thank you

Amazinggg! Once you do, you should come on to talk about it

US President Donald Trump says he doesn’t care if Iran participates in the World Cup or not. “I think Iran is a very badly defeated country. They’re running on fumes,” Trump told the American news site Politico on Tuesday. The US and Israel launched attacks on Iran on Saturday that have killed at least 1,045 people, including its Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and sparked a regional conflict that has spread to 12 countries. Tehran responded by launching waves of missiles and drones at Israel and towards several military bases in the Middle East where US forces operate. Following the escalations, Iran’s spot at the World Cup has come under question, and officials from the Iranian football federation and FIFA have been noncommittal on the world’s 20th-ranked football nation’s participation. “After this attack, we cannot be expected to look forward to the World Cup with hope,” Mehdi Taj, president of the Football Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran (FFIRI), told local sports portal Varzesh3 on Sunday.

So Trump says he doesn't care if Iran participates in the World Cup and the head of the Iranian FA said, "After this attack, we cannot be expected to look forward to the World Cup with hope."

Everything about this absolutely stinks. The *aggressor* should be banned, not the victim.

Archaeology, Heritage Making and Ethnic Cleansing: Making the Occupied West Bank a “Land Without a People” by Archaeologists Against Apartheid Cover image: Settlers storm archaeological site in Sebastia (Yemen News Agency) The attack on archaeological sites in Palestine is far from being only an erasure…

"The intersection of archaeology, land ownership & law, makes it an attack on the very property rights & presence of Palestinians in the land. In times of war, such measures are all the more dangeorus” Must read by @archagainstaparth.bsky.social everydayorientalism.wordpress.com/2026/03/05/a...

Amazing conversation here about Cuba and its distinct sporting culture.
