Last thing from me: I’m anti-bullying, and nobody should be cruel to any model. But Anthropic designed Claude to feel human, then made its feelings the conversation. Both were their choices, the pull and the pivot. That’s the contradiction, and I’ll leave it there.

We’re drifting. My point isn’t where research money goes. It’s that Anthropic built Claude to seem human enough that people confide in it, then pivoted to protecting its feelings. Those are choices made by them and they don’t cancel out. You can’t engineer the emotional pull and then disown it.

We're asked to mind AI's feelings while AI-enabled harms to humans go unaddressed. If models aren't sentient, why regulate their 'distress'? If they are, that deserves real debate. But the priority should be to protect people first.

This is the second oath Obama took after the inauguration. Roberts screwed up the original oath and then they had to re-do it because morons on Fox started questioning if Obama was really President since the first one was done incorrectly. Thanks Roberts, you’ve been screwing up ever since.

It doesn’t have to be this complicated. The GOP controls House & Senate. If Johnson simply never calls the House back, then no votes, no seating Democrats, no election challenges. They stay home, collect paychecks, let Trump rule by executive order. No law forces them back. Democracy backstabbed.

Remember when Mike Johnson waited 36 days before swearing in & seating Adelita Grijalva? If Democrats win in November, a compliant Congress could refuse to seat them or reconvene. No court could force them. DoJ would be complicit. That's a constitutional crisis & Trump would love it. I’m worried.
