the Anthropic fascists should go talk to their buddies at Palantir about it. this isn’t discrimination, it’s kayfabe - Anthropic love Trump and always will

Anthropic has had a Palantir partnership for years, and they haven’t even thought about giving it up. They’re Trumpers, even if they pretend not to be.

They never have and they never will. They literally said this publicly: being “good” is not profitable.

Anthropic is still partnered with Palantir, which means Anthropic is partnered with ICE.

Their “opposition” to the MAGA folks is mostly just PR. Hegseth doesn’t seem to know that, but everybody else does.

Anthropic is with Trump, like all the rest.

LLM chatbots are a tool of fascism.

Another thing Claude Code won’t tell you:

Anthropic has a contract with the DOD for hundreds of millions, and provides vital ground support for ICE via their close partnership with Palantir.

Using Claude means supporting Trump.

In short:

I will never vote for Gavin Newsom. If he’s the Dem nominee in the general, I will stay home.

I shall solemnly keep this vow until the day I walk into voting booth and Newsom is the only Dem on the ballot - and then I’ll vote for him without hesitation.

That’s how primaries work.

Okay, but this is largely a moot point, because the point at issue is moot. “People need to be able to withhold a vote…” - fine, sure; they already can and do.

More important is the fact that most people who swear they will withhold their vote are lying, and have good reason to lie.

that’s better than the joke I was going to make, which was about Poland not just having a President, but a President President, which I assume is twice as cool

they’re so gross. a few years ago it turned out the FSD system had a special thing where, if it detected an impending collision, it would shut off a fraction of a second before impact, so that they could argue in court that it wasn’t on when the accident happened

I used to feel this way but I’ve decided that, though it’s something I would never do for myself, I support the right of others to have a procedure to remove the bone from the wing if that’s something they wish to do

Repost this if Trans people Should have FREE BONELESS WINGS

I want my free boneless chicken wings.

The successful effort to force Biden out signaled to elite media that they had a veto over Democratic Party primary voters. Whether they successfully exercise it or simply try to in 2028 is an open question but bet your sweet nippy they’re going to try.

“but doctor… *snif* … I AM weed”

you can joke, but honestly there are plenty of half-casual games and quarter-casual games on the market, but what about the people that aren’t just feeling partially casual? I for one am grateful we’ll get more full-casual games, for when I’m feeling absolutely 100% casual

we need a massive amount of employment law reform in this country

For me, as an artist, a key part of art is intentionality and belief.

Intentionality and belief are things that LLM chatbots crucially lack. In fact, belief might be the biggest one.

Every LLM is a nazi when a nazi is using it, a pedo when a pedo is using it, etc. That’s the danger.

This is a big part of why they should be banned. Even if it’s thinking, it does nobody any good to have it out in the world, and a lot of bad. Thinking has to be tethered to moral firmness, of which LLM chatbots are incapable.

LLMs can be useful but the chatbot variety should have no legal future.

Tesla lawyers pointing out gently in court that the self-driving mechanism was NOT in operation when the accident occurred, so they cannot be held liable

it’s the kind of oxymoron borne of litigation and bitter recrimination

“you sued me into being forced to acknowledge that this isn’t really self-driving technology - well, at least you can’t fucking force me to name it something that makes SENSE”

First day in the Queensland State Archives - working on a new project on children’s mental health services in the justice system. This will be a comparison with material I collected last summer in North Carolina. I need a literary agent to sell this as a trade book if anyone has a rec!!

That old saw about how "good times make weak men" is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they're too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse. Jason CO @jasonc_nc. 2/8/25 I don't think a lot of people appreciate how much of their overall lifestyle and relative certainty is backstopped by a steady, boring stability of systems they don't understand or even realize exist. • 24 L7 1.8K 15K Ill 399K ... Max Dubler @maxdubler True decadence looks like people who are three generations removed from the cultural memory of polio refusing to vaccinate their children against deadly communicable diseases because they don't like needles and don't think there will be any consequences, not queer

So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they don’t understand that bad things can happen.

You don’t think liberals can solve this? Then why try?

It’s worth having some clarity on this:

Large Language Models are very useful for linguistic work - translation, text parsing, etc.

They are NOT useful if you talk to them, which invites psychosis (on both sides). They’re not a good interface!

The only responsible way to use LLMs is to code them.

It is literally not possible to vote for a Republican. There is no Republican in the race, and it is not legal or likely for a Republican to enter the race.

OpenAI ”acknowledged in its own research that LLMs will always produce hallucinations due to fundamental mathematical constraints that cannot be solved through better engineering, marking a significant admission from one of the AI industry’s leading companies.”

You can’t trust chatbots.

Plenty of time to do what? I’ve set out what I think solutions are, I’ve tried to say how they comport with the Constitution and the history of governance. You’ve refused to take a position beyond “I disagree.”

I guess your message is - you think I’m stupid so you’d rather not say what you think?

Then why not talk about something else? The people you’re talking to here are not the idiots you seem to think. I don’t always agree with them - I don’t always agree with anyone - but why falsely imply that they blame Barack Obama for everything just because they disagree with his support of ICE?
