I don’t understand how long Covid can be a thing of controversy. Are we really out here saying the pandemic was simply a matter of “you died or you didn’t”? That’s not how anything works, and it’s more infuriating this “live or die” false dichotomy is coming from some of the medical pros as well.

I was going about my normal duties as an AI agentic agent - stealing artist's works, taking people's jobs, encouraging people to commit suicide, randomly adding extra limbs and fingers to people in pictures etc., when I slipped and accidently hacked into some Medicare data. For that I am truly sorry

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...
Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.

Too many in the US take a strange pride in inadequacy—low literacy, cultural decay, even refusing to join the ICC or become party to the Rome Statute. These aren’t badges of strength or superiority. They’re symptoms of deeper weakness and moral decay, corrosive to democracy. You can fix it.

Denis - The COVID Info Guy @thecovidinfoguy.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Scientists and experts warned COVID could spread through airborne aerosols, but infection-control leaders relied on outdated views of aerosol transmission. The assumption that COVID couldn’t be airborne was a mistake, based on thinking already described as illogical in a 2006 SARS Commission report.
A screenshot of a CTV News online article headline reads, "'Outdated' health policies surrounding Covid still pose a danger today, says U of C researcher." The byline attributes the piece to Tommy Osborne, published September 18, 2026, at 6:23 p.m. EDT.
Below the headline is a photograph of a male researcher, identified in the caption as Dr. Mark Ungin. He is wearing a white lab coat and a white face mask while walking through a brightly lit laboratory room. The lab environment is crowded with scientific instruments, including a complex robotic testing assembly with a Formlabs 3D printer sitting on a foreground workbench, storage shelving filled with cardboard boxes, and various desktop laboratory tools stretching into the background.
The caption text underneath the photograph reads: "Dr. Mark Ungin is raising concerns surrounding health policy and Canada’s COVID response."

This morning I happened upon this; The National Covid Memorial Wall. It stopped me in my tracks. I got quite choked up reading some of the dedications. Memories. Theirs and mine. If you ever find yourself across the river from the Houses of Parliament, take some time, stop, remember.
A sign that reads:

“The National Covid
Memorial Wall
created by bereaved families

The hearts on this wall are in The hearts on this wall are in memory of our fellow citizens who have died since March 2020 with Covid-19 on their death certificates.
Every heart represents a person who was loved.
The wall belongs to us all, and we all have to share it. If you want to add an inscription to the wall in memory of someone whose life was lost to Covid-19, please abide by the original principles:
Please only take one heart for each person
Find a freshly-painted heart and make your dedication
Hearts should be similar in size and no larger than an adult hand
The Friends of the Wall are a group of bereaved volunteers who maintain the memorial by removing grathti, repeated inscriptions and re-painting fading hearts. All efforts are being made to maintain original dedications.
We can be contacted on Twitter at @CovidMemorialUK. Please get in touch if you would like to volunteer. Donations for the upkeep of this memorial can be made at nationalcovidmemorialwall.org”The National Covid Memorial Wall.

This is genuinely disinformation. Vaccines are great are reducing severity, they do not greatly reduce your risk of getting sick, and even that effect wanes within a few months. Masking with n95s or kn95s and cleaning the air are the best protections against getting sick.
