josephzander.bsky.social @josephzander.bsky.social · 16hI think there's some fairness to that accusation. Anthropic did allow DOGE to use Claude, so they at least provided them with technical support. Of course, that's different to politically advocating for it. 210

josephzander.bsky.social @josephzander.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I feel like knocking out the federal government is important to stop mitigation. Alternately, drop 3 in the USA, 3 in Russia, 2 in China, 1 in India and Pakistan. Focus on government targets. Try to set off a general nuclear war. 000

josephzander.bsky.social @josephzander.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It starts by making a complaint, identifies its writer as a hardware clerk, gives examples of problematic AI-use trends among customers, then finishes with a specific story. That seems narratively cohesive to me. 000

josephzander.bsky.social @josephzander.bsky.social · 07/10/2026You are talking about a very large pile of corpses. We do not casually say, let there be a war. It is a horror that all good people are driven to avoid, to find something better than tens of thousands of more deaths. 150

josephzander.bsky.social @josephzander.bsky.social · 04/10/2026No, I mean, seriously. If you're a voter and you turn up and you get presented a ballot with Donald Trump on it, do you turn to the election worker and say "I don't accept this ballot"? 000
josephzander.bsky.social @josephzander.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Okay, but, like, what happens if people print ballots with his name on them and take them to the polling booths... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_...en.wikipedia.orgDonald Trump third term proposal - Wikipedia 100

josephzander.bsky.social @josephzander.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Transubstantiation is a funny word. It's trans + substantiation, which has 3 s's. But transubstantiation only has 2. This is a paradox. The reason for this is that although the accident of transubstantiation has 2 s's, the substance of the word has 3. 010
