‘We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.’ —Dolly Parton If you’re not familiar with her extraordinary Imagination Library, read about it. Dolly Parton is a MultiFaceted SuperHero, and her journey onward today is a great loss. How fortunate she left such a legacy.

I just saw Natchez, a new doc I’ll recommend again once I figure out how to speak to the deep intelligence of its structure, the way it moves from a cloying world you know is actually horrific into a realer world in which the horror, courage, witness, and humanness are all made visible.

Reading this, again, you get the sense that someone at Anthropic knows how the intel community misleads by using definitions of words that are different than everyone else believes. And the people at OpenAI simply don't know or don't care about that.

my impression is that the actual fact that DoD wanted autonomous kill and no-refusals surveillance was conveyed to dario relatively sub rosa, and the official deal from DoD always had this fig leaf. so either Hegseth backed down and demanded no such thing from Sam, or Sam is lying-by-omission

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance. Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran? Me neither. Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

The way you know they mean “race” and not culture is that Americans have many common and overlapping cultures, but he doesn’t see this because he thinks of race as an exclusive category. They don’t want a “common culture” open to all participants, they want race hierarchy.
