"The AI model would be “challenging to shut down,” Anthropic said in a blog post, “since there’s no centralized point to shut off.” Read that quote one more time. Then read this:

An edited meme featuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sitting at a table outdoors.
He is photoshopped into the famous "Change My Mind" meme template, sitting behind a white sign that reads: "TRUMP IS A RUSSIAN ASSET. CHANGE MY MIND."
Behind Zelenskyy is a large black board covered in photos showing various oil refineries and industrial facilities on fire. He is holding a black mug featuring a yellow logo, and an identical mug sits on the table next to a microphone and some papers. The yellow emblem printed on both black mugs belongs to the "Sternenko Community" Charitable Foundation.
