Well well well, someone said the quiet part out loud
60 Minutes (@60Minutes) on X:

“This is the first time in my adult life where there's been an issue that's come up that I feel like is going to directly impact me,” says Dave Lowe, a lifelong conservative Republican who lives near a proposed data center in Texas.

In a new privacy policy, Anthropic says Claude will soon require you to upload your driver's license or passport for a variety of reasons. The ID checker is Persona, a firm funded by Trump ally Peter Thiel. As a U.S. company, Persona is also subject to gov't demands for people's verification data. 👀

Gamers (read: salty men) on the internet complaining about the newly announced Witcher IV having a female lead 🍿😫 Same people who probably complained about the best game ever made: Last of Us Part II. Me: looking forward! Ciri was more of a main char in this universe than Geralt ever was! 🤘

I might have to reread On Tyranny because the world was a different place when I first read it 😓. Antisocial is another worth-while read for insight into alt-right/alt-light movements and how they think. Knowledge is power.

AI just never knows when it's time to give up. It will tell you "You can achieve what you want by refactoring your whole application into 15 microservices and writing these 16 bash scripts to put in your CI/CD pipeline" instead of just saying "No, that's not possible/feasible".
Screenshot of AI saying sorry for not just saying "NO" when asked about something that wasn't feasible to do.
