Chris Csont 🍂 @ccsont.bsky.social · 12hClaim is anecdotal. Presented by someone with vested interest in making the company's tech appear stronger than competitors. It sounds truthy because AI researchers have frequently been short-sighted about potential consequences of their actions. It also sounds like an Underpants Gnome plan. 000
