So I am listening to the intercept briefing on the meltdown over Anthropic ethics cleansing itself over automated targeting.

It turns out that Claude is an integrated part of Palantír automated targeting system.

Never believe a single thing these guys say about any virtue. It’s a lie.

You know how USB (-A) plugs look like there's two ways, but there's only one way to put them in, so Murphy's Law means you end up trying three times?

Six. I just had to try six times.

@minentromaxinfo One way that comes to mind, is identifying a specific weak point and optimise practice to get a lot of reps of that specifically.

(like if you were good at everything in baseball except swinging the bat, just playing baseball wouldn't be the most efficient way to improve)

A small act of defiance - We've been basically ordered to buy from a certain high profile MAGA aligned computer company at my job. I've been printing out barcode labels with machine names on them, just the perfect size to cover over the offending companies logos. Pointless maybe, but it makes me feel a little bit better. #seizethemeansofcomputation

@minentromaxinfo absolutely. There is no AI without fascism and there would be much less fascism without AI.

💯 vcs and tech bros act like they cured cancer with Gen AI. Lmao. In reality, they just stole every thing out there while causing large amount of environmental damage to build a slop machine and slop OS.
