@AnthropicAI You may have “disrupted every operation in the report” but your safeguard filters are so crude & unintelligent that they frequently disrupt innocuous & legitimate research on Claude.

My research on climate change & on AI is frequently blocked or impaired by Claude.

Do better!

[Dorje Mundle @dorjemundle]

A more conspiratorially-minded person might think this was Anthropic suppressing news about the unpopularity of data centres, but I'm almost certain that in actual fact it's a case of Anthropic having, ironically, spectacularly unintelligent overly-broad safeguard filters.

[Dorje Mundle @dorjemundle]

I'm so tired of innocuous research being blocked by @AnthropicAI's "safeguards"! It happens all the time on climate change & AI.

Latest case: polling research on changing US anti-data centre sentiment.

@claudeai's false positives are off the scale & harm legitimate businesses.

$1.5 BILLION. Let me say it again - a $1.5 BILLION BET.

Bigger than any futures purchases made at the time.

5 minutes before Trump's post.

Who was it? Trump? A family member? A White House staffer?

This is corruption. Mind blowing corruption.

I just spent £61 in @NewLook and was told I had to give my email address to get a receipt. That is completely false and totally unlawful.

A receipt is a legal requirement when a customer asks for one and it cannot be made conditional on handing over personal data.

UK GDPR is very clear that consent has to be freely given and necessary for the service. An email is not needed to print a receipt.

What makes this worse is their target demographic is younger people who often do not know their rights.

The girls (all of them) behind the till lied straight to my face, then got shitty when I challenged them.

When she realised I was a nasty mean old bird, she finally printed mine, and everyone else in the queue suddenly asked for printed receipts too.

That tells you everything. Customers do not want this.

I will be reporting it, because this kind of data-grabbing is out of control and companies like New Look know exactly what they are doing. It is shocking behaviour.

@Telegraph @BjornLomborg Lomborg really is a broken record – same tune on repeat for 20 years…

In a huge U-turn, Meta is to get rid of factcheckers, reduce content moderation & recommend more political content.

This signals a company with no fixed principles or values, that just sways according to the political climate. This will surely have far-reaching repercussions…

@JaredRyanSears @kaitlancollins This pattern of policies/action that Jared describes is–as he says–part of a well established playbook that’s been used in many countries.

I can’t recommend highly enough this interview of Ezra Klein’s with the authors of How Democracy Dies on this topic

@Robert_E_Kelly This video clip made so many people around the world laugh so much. The way you styled it out was impressive! But I felt so sorry for your wife—that terrible moment of realisation that the kids had got into your study, & her panicked response to get them out!

@maitlis Emily, I can assure you it’s not the wine, though reading these revelations makes me need to open a bottle…!

It was always farcical to appoint the CEO of an oil company to be the head of #COP28—now we learn they’ve been using COP28 to drum up oil deals, in a serious breach of UN rules. #ClimateCrisis

Excellent thread on the OBR’s significantly reduced forecast for #EV sales in the UK.

TLDR: the March 2023 forecast was probably over optimistic, and the Nov 2023 forecast is probably overly conservative.

[Colin Walker @colinwalker79]

You may have seen the news that, yesterday, the @OBR_UK revised down its forecasts for #ElectricVehicle sales in the UK in the years ahead

A short thread from me on my take on these revisions, and the factors behind them

An informative thread summarising Geert Wilders’ policy proposals makes for disturbing reading: what a dark, hateful, climate-destabilised world these far-right politicians want to create.

May my children never live to see their dystopian vision become a reality…

[Ben Coates @bencoates1]

What does Geert Wilders actually want, in policy terms? A 🧵.

@HeleneBismarck British, unless I’m talking to French people (saying I’m Scottish guarantees a much warmer reaction)!

We moved from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 during my childhood so I have some Englishness despite having no English blood. I like that Britishness is an amalgam of—and shaped by—our 4 countries!

[Dorje Mundle @dorjemundle]

@saschaosullivan I hope your response was suitably robust with some choice words that Australians use so well!

[Dorje Mundle @dorjemundle]

@LiamABlack Sadly this is pretty accurate…
