Cool cool cool, a sizeable number of folks I look up to have been hired by Anthropic in the past few years. How long they’ll stay now will tell me how much I should keep looking up to them: https://techcrunch.com/2024/11/07/anthropic-teams-up-with-palantir-and-aws-to-sell-its-ai-to-defense-customers/

AI was always going to be converted to Surveillance Capitalism in service to the state because of who funds it.

No one wants to be a voyeur into the lives of nonbelievers more than religious fossil fuel interests.

It's a habit of mine to amplify good posts with additional information.

It was directed at readers who might want to know more about your post or get more context.

Building consensus in public sentiment means sharing what we know with others.

The flow of money reveals much about motives & intentions.

Follow the money.

@Npars01 I see, I’m not of the view that my mastodon posts are a public wiki to be added to at will, but I do understand the point of view. ✌️

@janl

Mastodon doesn't have Algorithmic Amplification.

To have a post read more widely, it has to be done manually by human beings.

@Npars01 I also do absolutely have no need mastodon explained to me or have me convinced of the opposite if the view I just outlined. ✌️

@janl

I wasn't explaining it to you. The amplification was directed at people reading your post.

If you do not want your post read by a wider audience beyond your personal followers, let your readers know.
