The #US gov classified #Anthropic as a "threat to national security" because they didn't want to chance their policy to allow
- Mass surveillance
- Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems
Don't get me wrong, I have no love for #AI (#LLM) but this is how #CORRUPT the US government is
The gov are the ones who are a threat to national security 🇺🇸
"At last, our world will know generational peace!"
"Have all nations finally settled their differences?"

"They're all too afraid of him to fight each other..."
"Precisely."

The Phoenix
We can rise from the ashes, triumphant
We can build anew, better
Tell me that again.
Have you ever considered
the phoenix rises from the ashes
burning anew?
Ashes do not burn.
Every rising is a new fuel.
Every rising is both a new bird
and one that never again
knows what it was not to have burned.
We know what it is to have burned.
We know what it is to be left in ashes.
Anything we rebuild must build from that.

The emperor licked a paw and started washing his ears.
"I'll still count it as one of mine," he purred.
Reminded of how I handle temporary instances of aphasia (mostly when I am undercaffeinated and overstressed):
“I can’t remember your human word for it.”
If asked what I meant by that, I respond, “Oops, you weren’t supposed to hear that. Never mind.”
At this point, the other person is left with questions (though not more than usual when interacting with me) and has forgotten the original thread of the conversation.
