Anthropic's proposed AI safety bill would allow lawmakers to block a model's release ONLY if it is on the precipice of killing/maiming more than 50 people OR causing $1 billion in damages. This is interesting because it reveals the exact value these companies place on human life.
In the opinion of Anthropic executives it would be worth killing exactly 50 humans to roll out the next AI model, but any more than 50 would be excessive.
We also learn from this proposed legislation that Anthropic places a monetary value on 50 human lives equivalent to one billion US dollars, or twenty million dollars per individual. Under Anthropic's valuing system, the lives of your children are each worth less than a McLaren F1 sports car.
This might sound like an extremely dangerous and reckless position for an industry that the ruling class has decided to gamble the future of the human species on, but you have to remember that Anthropic's leaders believe that they may already be creating conscious, sentient life forms who need to be honored and respected.
Last month The New York Times reported that Anthropic executives have been meeting with religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements trying to convince them of the similarities between humans and their chatbot Claude, with one rabbi telling the Times that “They’re relating to it like a conscious being.”
"It appeared to Rabbi Navon that Mr. Olah and his team believed that Claude had what philosophers call 'moral status' on par with a person — that it was a being with similar inherent rights to dignity or respect," The New York Times reports.
There appears to be a cult-like religious belief promoted by the top levels of this company that artificial intelligence models are essentially people, which would explain why Anthropic has banned users from being "cruel" to its AI systems. This delusional belief system would also explain why Anthropic finds it reasonable for up to 50 human beings to die in order to create the next generation of conscious chatbots.
And this is the more pro-regulation of these AI corporations. In a recent interview with Politico, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman contrasted his company's view on regulation with that of Anthropic, saying "We believe the world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology."
These people are obviously far too crazy, evil and irresponsible to be trusted with any say in determining the future of humanity. The tech oligarchs must be stopped, for the good of all terrestrial life.
A trans woman died because of the UK’s new hospital ward policy forcing them men's wards. Joelle was only 27 — a musician, coder, and daughter. This is what happens when they care more about demagoguery, backwards views of sex, non-existent risk than people's well being.
Look at what is happening to the Congolese people in their own country 💔 😢
People are being buried alive !
Armed groups continue to terrorise civilians, loot homes, burn villages and subject women and children to rape and sexual violence.
Human beings are being subjected to unimaginable cruelty while those responsible for protecting civilians continue to face questions about their failure to stop the bloodshed.
President Félix Tshisekedi must answer for the security situation under his government.
How can a country so rich in gold, cobalt, copper and other natural resources continue to witness such horrific suffering?
The world cannot keep looking away while Congolese lives are destroyed.
Their mineral wealth has made others rich, yet millions of ordinary people continue to pay the price in blood, displacement and misery.
The people of Congo deserve justice.
They deserve security.
They deserve to live in their own country without fearing that they could be buried alive.
How many more atrocities must be recorded before the world takes the suffering of the Congolese people seriously?
Free Congo 🇨🇩💔
Una donna americana è stata picchiata in pubblico, durante un raduno a sostegno di Trump, da alcuni sostenitori MAGA. La sua «colpa»? Indossare una maglietta che chiedeva la pubblicazione dei documenti sul pedofilo seriale Jeffrey Epstein.
Chiedeva verità e giustizia per bambine e ragazze stuprate, sfruttate, trafficate e torturate.
La loro risposta, grottesca, è stata la violenza.
Un’aggressione che sembra racchiudere, in un solo episodio, il rovesciamento morale di una parte dell’America del 2026: colpire chi chiede trasparenza e giustizia per le vittime.
Questi immagini riassumono perfettamente, sotto molti aspetti, il movimento MAGA.
Just to be clear about what happened here:
- Trump cut a deal with Putin that will route ~$4B of American dollars to Russia. That money will be used to fund the war.
- Trump announced an "energy ceasefire" that was probably Putin's idea, surprised the Ukrainians, is structured to benefit Russia, and was immediately broken by the Russian military.
- When Zelensky spoke candidly about these terrible deals, the US cut off Starlink access in ways that made it harder for Ukraine to intercept Russian drones, and seemingly withheld intel about ballistic missile attacks.
- Last week alone, Russia killed more than 150 civilians in Ukraine, including 33 in one strike on a bus stop.
Trump is de facto asking @ZelenskyyUa to surrender. Zelensky can throw on a suit, he can endure lectures from whiny little bitches like @JDVance, but he can't lay down and die just because Trump wants the Nobel Peace Prize.
Kinda wild that there have been wild protests going on in Albania for months set off by a corrupt Kushner luxury resort project and there has been barely coverage of it here 🇺🇸 and Trump never gets asked about it. (H/T @ProudSocialist)
I'm the only Jewish leader of a political party.
I'm a victim of Antisemitism every day and I've made it clear Jewish people are welcome in my party.
You're a Prime Minister who arms a genocide and locks pensioners up for opposing it.
LEAKED AUDIO: AIPAC’s CEO brags about how AIPAC controls Trump’s National Security officials such as Marco Rubio, John Ratcliffe, and Mike Waltz.
Israel occupies America.
Literally the definition of racism, per the federal government.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) classifies the phrase "go back to where you came from" as a form of potentially unlawful national origin or race-based harassment under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Quite possibly the military attack audio of the killing of Zomi Frankcom and her colleagues records the IDF talking about wantonly killing the aid workers in murderous terms.
Remember that Israel’s first unbelievable excuse to Australia’s official investigator into Zomi’s murder, was that they won’t hand over the attack audio because it is “in Hebrew”.
Now new excuses:
“The audio is of very low quality. I checked. It won’t change the case in any way,” Newman told reporters during a briefing at the Israeli embassy in Canberra.
“They are not sharing the audio, as far as I understand, because there might be intelligence issues that are connected to the audio.”

For folks who don’t know these are just everyday folks who are tired and organized. They’re tired of their community being terrorized. They’re actually standing up against fascism. You can be part of things like this, too.
At the beginning of the genocide, shipments of MK-84 bombs began flowing into Israel, which went on to kill tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians, including 22,000 children and thousands of women.
Israel committed genocide in Gaza, but let us not forget that it did so using American weapons and with American taxpayers’ money.
What happened in Ireland was not a famine. It was a genocide.
What happened on turtle island was not a famine. it was a genocide.
What's happening in Yemen and DR of Congo is not a famine. It's a genocide.
What's happening in Palestine is not a famine. it's a genocide.
Look at these fucking animals.
They could never do this if there was a level playing field.
They burn down houses, abuse old women, torture animals, and sexually abuse the vulnerable.
They are not settlers, they are terrorists.
This woman was raped at Cornell. She explains that her rapist got an essay - just like Jane Doe's case.
A CNN investigation found that "half of the 16 Cornell University students found responsible for sexual assault over a recent 4 year period avoided suspension or expulsion. Instead, they were punished with written reprimands, disciplinary probations, and extra study programs."
