Anthropic stealing books and then revealing authors’ legal names is insane. I promise that every one of us who uses a pen name has a reason for doing so.

Keanu Reeves is wearing sadness like a suit & he is also wearing a suit. His hair is lank & sorrowful. His facial hair is elegant and sorrowful. His eyes are sorrowful. Why would you make him murder lots of people?

Angry honeybees asking for cola.
Apples with one bite taken out, left in the gutter by toddlers.

This very very very bad. I cannot stress this enough. I said that they crossed the Rubicon with arresting Ras Baraka several months ago. This is very bad and portends more bad things for regular people.
