The article is paywalled but I got a little dopamine hit from seeing the phrase "high junk rating" this close to "Anthropic"

![American Progress by John Gast. From wikipedia:
The painting depicts a landscape of North America in the 19th century. The right side of the picture portrays locations on the east coast, which are already settled by Europeans. There, New York City can be seen, along with various ships around the coast of Manhattan. Also illustrated is the Brooklyn Bridge, which started construction just 2 years earlier and would not be completed until 1883 – 11 years later.
In the midpoint of the painting is Columbia, a female personification of the United States. On her head is what Crofutt calls "The Star of the Empire".[3] She lays a telegraph wire with one hand and carries a school book in the other. Columbia represents the movement of civilization from the already well-settled East to the much more sparsely populated by Europeans West, leading settlers either on foot or by stagecoach, horseback, Conestoga wagon, wagon train, or riding steam trains.
To the left of the painting is depicted the western part of North America. The landscape is drawn to be much darker than the places already settled by Europeans with large dark clouds hanging over the distant mountains.[1] A herd of American bison and group of indigenous people can be seen to be running into the dark, away from the approaching people.
In the foreground, Gast depicts a group of settlers, heading West, where a bear appears to growl at them, while behind them stands an already established farm with a person tilling the fields and another herding livestock, representing the Midwest.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o5445svp54qlra5w2oc6cr76/bafkreifoww6haan63ijafd5ycqdyuhthlllelmi5bvdkrf56hwevxjrmma)

![I understand you need the power. I have harnessed Al in the state of New
York, in state government in a way no other governor has. I have used Al to
look at every single rule, regulation, policy, board, and commission.
Has that been effective? Is that just you alone with Claude? How does that
work?
I don't do it myself. [Laughs] I have smarter people than me that do.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o5445svp54qlra5w2oc6cr76/bafkreicm6ridpqdexzdazr3qvh2c2zfyzu2igve6ow3kjngrat3baaod4q)
![Role in fascism [edit]
Historically, Karl Marx predicted that the petite bourgeoisie was to
lose in the course of economic development.
The [petty bourgeoise] sink[s] gradually into the
proletariat, partly because their diminutive capital does
not suffice for the scale on which Modern Industry is
carried on, and is swamped in the competition with the
large capitalists, partly because their specialized skill is
rendered worthless by new methods of production.[®!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o5445svp54qlra5w2oc6cr76/bafkreihjs4t6mdscsyrebbklospfuu4z7ghrjk4o4dqayd7ovwxl3razpu)
