If we are being honest: Claude didn't do any of those things.
People USING Claude as an excuse for greed extraction are.

• Claude didn't choose to work for the military.
• Claude didn't build data centers.
• Claude didn't defund mental health.
• Claude didn't refuse security protocols.

Humans did.

Yep. “Knowing who to be mad at is praxis” is Mariame Kaba’s quote and it is wisdom for these times. (1/2)

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

Montana's Gianforte Pleads Guilty, Won't Serve Jail Time In Assault On Journalist The representative-elect was given a six-month deferred sentence after pleading guilty to assaulting a Guardian reporter. He also was sentenced to community service and anger management counseling.

Where are the fathers of these broken men? What's going on in their homes that led them to this life of violence? Has society been coddling them? That's what I want to know.

The film follows an Irish refugee girl and a Choctaw boy who meet in 1847 New York and journey across America together, drawing on the real historical bond between Ireland and the Choctaw Nation.

“The hearing today is about ‘Fraud in Minnesota,’ which is serving as a pretext for the terror the federal government has brought to the people of Minnesota,” Tollgaard said in her opening remarks. (her opening remarks: oversight.house.gov/wp-content/u...)

The House hearing nominally about "fraud" is just so profoundly racist. Like just so incredibly stunningly racist.

WALZ: What a 'stop payment' meant by what the administration did last week is 400,000 children without healthcare

Breaking: Arkansas Democrats just flipped a Republican seat It's the ninth red-to-blue pickup in a special election in Trump's second term

JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in *Arkansas*.

Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried hard to delay this race and wanted the seat to stay vacant for 8+ months, but the courts told her to hold it today. If she was worried, she was right to be.

Our full recap:

The approximate cause of death for Anne Frank was the Nazis. The specific cause of death was the outbreak of Typhus at Bergen-Belsen camp, which overtook her (and others) from chronic malnutrition and medical abuse. These conditions are not, in character, unlike our system of immigration camps today

This is really worth listening to. Imagine following the advice of this man when this is his track record.

Also the incredulous face of the sister behind Sen. Tierney is channeling me.

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

OMG Tillis, still yelling, brings up that time Noem killed her dog.

"I trained dogs, alright?" he yells. "You are a farmer. You should know better. You should know if you're going out to a hunting lodge and you're puttin pheasants out and you're puttin dogs out, you don't take a puppy out there!"

Noem is lying in this hearing. Klobuchar just asked why federal agents blocked local police from the scene where Alex Pretti was shot.

Noem: Federal officers "risked their lives on that scene ... keeping violent rioters away from evidence."

BS. I was there. There were no violent rioters.
