Anthropic Will Probably Survive Trump's Tantrum, For All the Wrong Reasons

I like Anthropic a lot, but I worry about whether its extensity makes it too big to govern.

@carnage4life They assume that they can make this #AIbubble so big that it's "#TooBigToFail" and the #US-#Government is gonna bail them out or crash the economy harder than it could survive.

  • Why else would anyone shove billions into "#AI" with the only profiteers being the "Shovel-Salespeople" like #JensenHuang who already sold off so many #nbidia shares that he can just hide somewhere overseas and never have to work in his life again…

@siklist Good question.

@Waterfox should be able to import things and if you're on #Linux all you need is to sync the subdirectory at $HOME/.config/ with any tool you want.

  • @fuchsiii does sync her stuff with @nextcloud as it has the #Nextcloud #Bookmarks sync option and she's using multiple devices, OSes and browsers at the same time.

  • Personally, I do backup, sync and restore my stuff to by personal mini-server at home via #SSH onto an encrypted drive.

Tho my default browser is @torproject / #TorBrowser and that is best used on @tails_live / @tails / #Tails which can also do manual syncing via SSH on the local network.

  • I've not bothered to setup an #OnionService because it's beyond what I personally need but some folks do need it.

But what pisses me off is #Mozilla's tone-deaf ignorance of LITERALLY EVERYONE that uses #Firefox that they need to STOP #Enshittifying NOW!

For such a behemoth of a company as Microsoft, it is incredible how many failures it has put out to the world, critical or commercial. MS-DOS 4.0, Microsoft Bob, Internet Explorer 6, Zune, Kin, Lumia and Windows Phone, Kinect, Surface RT, Cortana, Band, Copilot, and every other version of Windows since Me (including Windows 11, out of privacy concerns), those are just the most glaring examples. Truly amazing, Microsoft. Truly remarkable.

@millerdl Really good article. The only thing that is missing is to state that once these production circles/ companies fail, they will be declared #TooBigToFail and the taxpayer will save them.

What if American workers decided the only ones entitled to be "too big to fail" are us – the ones whose labor built your platforms, whose attention became your product, whose data trained your models, and whose spending made you untouchable?

"The regulatory sweet spot for a financial institution is to escape paying for insurance while gambling on an implicit “#toobigtofail” guarantee if anything goes wrong. That’s what happened with money-market funds in 2008–’09. ... In the end, the federal government guaranteed $2.7 trillion of money-market liabilities—for funds that had not paid a cent for this federal protection.
