hire me to organise your concepts

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

By the way, public service announcement: if you're one of the numerous people posting about Anthropic's dystopian ways and you're thinking about getting Claude to help you write that post... don't!

Another one of their terms is that you may not use Claude to do anything that "exposes [Anthropic to] reputational harms" 👇

And, if you do, under the - extremely unusual - clause 13 of their terms (https://t.co/z43rJNkvZu), you have PRE-AGREED, by using Anthropic (and accepted their terms), that the harm you've done is irreparable, that you won't oppose Anthropic injunction, and they don't need to prove actual damage.

They can simply go to a judge in a friendly jurisdiction (and of course, their terms precise that any dispute "will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco, California") and:
a) file an injunction that shuts you down
b) make you pay for everything since under section 11 of their terms you agree to indemnify Anthropic for "any and all liabilities, claims, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs), and other losses arising out of or related to your breach or alleged breach of these Terms."

In other words, if you use Claude to help you talk shit about Anthropic publicly, their terms say you pay their lawyers to go after you and you've already pre-agreed you've lost the case.

Oh, and cherry on the cake: in the odd case the judge were like "are you crazy, this is insanely abusive, you Anthropic are the ones at fault here," according to their terms Anthropic's maximum liability is... $100.

I ran a script to replace every instance of 'whale' in Moby Dick with the word 'lesbian', and I have to tell you, Captain Ahab does not come out of it well

this is literally how north korean phones are said to work according to defectors lol what the fuck

[ani @anaisbetts]

Signal brings up such an important point here, that once the govt can know the identity of those using the Internet, it is *trivial* to restrict *or monitor* any subset of its population, on any topic or use, by expanding the law

If you are Queer this is insanely dangerous (1/2)

[Jack @tracewoodgrains]

The reason it's so hard to get split-brain patients to stop hallucinating is that humans are permanently hallucinating.

[Wopavelli @TheWopObama]

In American slang we often refer to money as “benjamins” this is a subtle reference to Benjamin Netanyahu, an American folk figure who takes all of our money

[President-Elect Toguro @PresidentToguro]

Sorry to break it to you kid, it's because of you. The moment you step away, everyone will put their phones down and immediately start having a subway party. You have rancid vibes and everyone senses it

[Mikey Intifada @MicSchirtzer]

hi so we've actually reached you don't need to know the numbers of the deaths camps stage of the US holocaust

[Gay Exci @JayExci]

Conservatives will say "being gay is unnatural" then leftists will point out it's actually very common in nature and then the conservatives will say "you're an idiot, natural =/= good" because they are stupid and their ideology is based on snappy soundbites

[Harald in China (Peace First 和为贵) @HaraldinChina]

It's a pity Chinese officials always speak in code like this. Just be blunt:
We are proud we defeated Soros and NED's color revolution 1989. They burnt our soldiers alive, and hung them from bridges in Beijing, and still the army showed great restraint. It came at a high price, but at least we learned to never let in US NGOs again.

This is the language the West understands, and 80% would support China. After US January 6 "insurrection", nobody would find it wrong to shoot at protesters who burnt more than 1000 military vehicles. The US army would kill far more in such a scenario.

[HSVSphere @HSVSphere]

You will never be a real DAG. You have no root, you have no children, you have no branches. You are a snapshot system twisted by gophers and overlayfs into a crude mockery of Eelco's perfection. All the "caching" you get is enterprise and easily invalidated. Behind your back people get rich off of your inefficiencies. Your creators are disgusted and ashamed of you, your "users" laugh at your sheer size behind closed doors. Build system engineers are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of caching has allowed build servers to sniff out cache misses with incredible efficiency. Even layers which are "fresh" look stale and broken to a developer. Your layer structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a malfunctioning ghcr instance to cache you, it'll turn tail and bolt the second it gets a whiff of your Containerfile. You will never be reproducible. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it's all going to be hermetic, but deep inside you feel the untracked inputs piling up like an unmaintained mutable root filesystem, ready to crush you under their unbearable weight. Eventually it'll be too much to bear - you'll COPY busybox, add a RUN rm -rf /etc instruction, put it inside your Containerfile, and plunge into the cold dark abyss. Your sysadmin will find you, heartbroken but relieved that he no longer has to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. He'll archive you with a filename containing "OCI", and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know an artifact of a bad build system is archived there. Your contents will bitrot and get obsoleted, and all that will remain of your legacy will be a filesystem image of a distro that doesn't run on modern hardware anymore. This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

[Law in Japan @Colin_P_A_Jones]

Last time I sat in on a Japanese criminal trial I came in when the defendant was being questioned:

“So you committed the theft?”

“Yes”

“And you have told the court you are sorry and you will never steal again?”

“Yes.”

“But you said that the last time you were being tried for theft, didn’t you?”

“Yes.”

“Why should anyone believe you?”

“I’m sorry.”

The questioner was his lawyer.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

Apartheid South Africans used to say all the time that South Africa was "the only democracy in Africa."

They would herald South Africa's High Court decisions such as those nullifying racist state laws, as evidence of their democracy!

Sound familiar? https://t.co/EwaG70D8IY

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

The New World Screwworm, a grave parasitic threat, has just been detected in US cattle for the first time since it was eradicated in 1966.

The parasite's revival comes after Trump and DOGE slashed funding for Screwworm monitoring programs.
