THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.
It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

In @naomiaklein.bsky.social’s 📕“Doppelgänger”, she says we are now “reaping the harvest” of decades of an attack on “the very concept of a public good” — the idea that we are all in this together, and government can be used for good.

This is going to trigger all the bots but does anyone know of academic work analyzing the ways some LLMs embrace the language of being your friend (gemini) vs those who say things like "as a large language model, I can't feel ways toward you" etc? I can't find a systematic breakdown anywhere
