To me the chatbots pose zero interesting questions about the ‘nature of selfhood’ but dozens about the nature of manipulation. Here the Claude team pretends they are programming the robot for ethical responses but they land on one that is false and disingenuous.

As I drift off to sleep tonight I am again thinking about how we need to re-establish the concept of the commons, from an ecological and humanitarian point of view it just feels increasingly urgent we break this idea that private ownership extends everywhere and to all things.

What a nice thing to say! It also means absolutely nothing. Anthropic doesn’t own or even lease data centers and thus does not pay power bills on anything other than its office space

plus, the left has shown much better "party loyalty" and harm-reduction instincts in the actual voting booth than the center has. PUMA democrats bail to support the right when a more progressive candidate is on the ballot far more than leftists do when the usual centrist is.

I’m at $57/$947

Electricity has been shut off which I need to heat the house , use the stove, lights and run the refrigerator. We are also low on food. My birthday is this Friday and if that’s any incentive for help that would be cool. Literally just want to get by.
My account was suspended for 3 days which made it hard to get help. My electric is past due +going to be shut off soon. We also need food/hygiene products!

Electric-$412
Food and hygiene products-$535

Imma try and keep this short, but this is what i think is importantly historically. The 1960s civil rights laws and decisions were not technically "new legislation." it was a restoration of what already was.

For example

Meanwhile, many libraries that used to offer passport services were recently told by the Federal government they can’t do that anymore. Probably a coincidence!

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

your vote has weight outside of election day. regardless of how you end up voting, until then you can bargain with it. the lesser evils are watching you, if you promise your vote for nothing you'll get nothing. say you wont vote for bad candidates. say you'll only vote for policies you like

watching hundreds of democrats on here SUDDENLY shocked by the thermobaric bombs dropped in Gaza, things that Palestinians have told us were happening for 2 YEARS,

and immediately use that shock to blame people for “not voting for Harris“ because this “wouldn’t have happened under her”
