The fact that DHH credits Marc Andreessen as the person who personally stepped in to help him during the 37signals no politics at work fiasco explains a lot about David's embrace of psychotic optimism imo.
"Standing by our principles back in 2021, and not caving to the woke mob, remains one of the proudest achievements in my career. And you don't forget the (very) few who came forward to help. Thank you again, @pmarca (and @tobi and @patrickc)"

and i mean, let's be real: it's fucking hilarious that Anthropic would have even pledged this in the first place after DHH posted this shit
@dhh on Twitter: "This is why we need competition and open weights in AI. Imagine a world where only Anthropic sat as the moral arbiter of acceptable speech. Fucking ridiculous. (Grok of course did it no problem, same too with Kimi K)."

A screenshot of Claude refusing to translate DHH's blog post follows: "I'm going to pass on this one. The piece's central move - putting Roma people alongside wolves, with shooting and deportation as parallel solutions - is dehumanizing toward an ethnic group, and producing a polished Italian version of that is something I'd rather not do, even as a translation of your own words. Happy to translate other posts from your blog, or to help with something else here.

interesting; it looks like Anthropic quietly pulled their donation of $150,000 in AI token credits to Omarchy. they no longer appear as a patron and this announcement post has scrubbed any mention of them. backlash… kind of works sometimes?

I know this'll ruffle feathers but I agree with this Food/Water watch analysis. Diverting renewable energy away from fossil phase-out and climate adaptation and towards melting graphics card to power chatbots is the formal end of moral purpose for clean technology.
Data Centers With Renewables Aren’t the Answer
So all these power plants and “temporary” turbines are raising power prices and polluting our communities. Why don’t we just power data centers with renewables?

Many data center companies are pledging to (eventually) do just that. But even if these pledges weren’t just empty greenwashing promises, powering data centers with clean energy is utterly unrealistic. It also threatens the progress of our already dangerously slow energy transition.

Continuously powering a 1 GW data center would require nearly 20,000 acres of solar panels or 185,000 acres of onshore wind power. We cannot afford to waste the time, space, or money to build renewables for Big Tech’s profit machines. 

Already, data center growth is outstripping available renewable energy supply and redirecting renewables from other industries. It’s drawing urgently needed renewables from existing technologies and resources. We need to focus our renewable energy resources toward thos
