Example of awful AI communication: this hype, hooey, & hubris from Anthropic, extrapolating its better LLM into a forecast of a fully autonomous AI factory, leading these doomers-at-heart to beg: "Stop us before it's too late." Which is also a way to pull the ladder up after their IPO.

Liberals seem to think it doesn’t matter that this noise goes out to 10s of millions. It does matter, and we’re making a grave mistake not calling it out out forcefully so people understand this noise is designed to keep them out of the system so they can be further abused by it.

I finally watched Derek. 12 years too late. Brilliant show. It should be required viewing as empathy and kindness training for so many Americans, who need a lot of both.
