Some people find it so hard to understand the simple principle: when you treat people differently from others because of the color of their skin, even if you think it is "benevolent, helpful or non-invidious," it is still racist.

@VaubanBooks Threats to liberty, freedom of thought and freedom of speech never cease. It sounds like Amazon has quietly retreated on its ban.

@SarahHuckabee No civility, tolerance, respect or manners. But I'll bet those are mostly what the perpetrators demand for themselves.

Journalists once were taught not to do this sort of false headline writing. It's of the "when did you stop beating your wife" variety of a non-story with a misleading headline.

One might argue Anthropic has better things to do with its time and money. Why, in principle, is a sustainable revenue model a bad thing, for a model with a huge consumer user base? Anthropic is leaning into its enterprise customer base, so it has other revenue sources.

[Sam Altman @sama]

First, the good part of the Anthropic ads: they are funny, and I laughed.

But I wonder why Anthropic would go for something so clearly dishonest. Our most important principle for ads says that we won’t do exactly this; we would obviously never run ads in the way Anthropic depicts them. We are not stupid and we know our users would reject that.

I guess it’s on brand for Anthropic doublespeak to use a deceptive ad to critique theoretical deceptive ads that aren’t real, but a Super Bowl ad is not where I would expect it.

More importantly, we believe everyone deserves to use AI and are committed to free access, because we believe access creates agency. More Texans use ChatGPT for free than total people use Claude in the US, so we have a differently-shaped problem than they do. (If you want to pay for ChatGPT Plus or Pro, we don't show you ads.)

Anthropic serves an expensive product to rich people. We are glad they do that and we are doing that too, but we also feel strongly that we need to bring AI to billions of people who can’t pay for subscriptions.

Maybe even more importantly: Anthropic wants to control what people do with AI—they block companies they don't like from using their coding product (including us), they want to write the rules themselves for what people can and can't use AI for, and now they also want to tell other companies what their business models can be.

We are committed to broad, democratic decision making in addition to access. We are also committed to building the most resilient ecosystem for advanced AI. We care a great deal about safe, broadly beneficial AGI, and we know the only way to get there is to work with the world to prepare.

One authoritarian company won't get us there on their own, to say nothing of the other obvious risks. It is a dark path.

As for our Super Bowl ad: it’s about builders, and how anyone can now build anything.

We are enjoying watching so many people switch to Codex. There have now been 500,000 app downloads since launch on Monday, and we think builders are really going to love what’s coming in the next few weeks. I believe Codex is going to win.

We will continue to work hard to make even more intelligence available for lower and lower prices to our users.

This time belongs to the builders, not the people who want to control them.

@archeohistories According to Gemini, this is from a movie.This is the actor William "Billy" Drago (known for playing Frank Nitti in The Untouchables).
​The Film: The image is a promotional still from the 1985 Western film "Pale Rider," which starred and was directed by Clint Eastwood.

Per sources: Disney/ESPN has removed @finebaum from appearing on @ESPN since his @outkick interview expressing interest in running as a Republican for senate in Alabama. ESPN has canceled all network appearances on all shows, including some that have occurred for a decade plus.

Catholic schools, to my knowledge, stayed open during Covid. One doesn't hear about major problems occurring. As close to a controlled policy experiment as one can get.

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the CDC allowed the teachers union to write the order closing our schools – which hurt working people all over the country – and then pretended it was science based.

[Gary Kim @garykim]

And so trust in our institutions takes another hit, which is not good.

RFK Jr on How the Hepatitis B Vaccine Was Added to the CDC Schedule

“Merck went to the agencies and said you told us to develop this vaccine. Nobody's buying it. CDC said don't worry, we'll just recommend it for children. We'll force everybody to buy it.”

[Gary Kim @garykim]

And people wonder why it might be wise to insist that "following the science" should mean ALWAYS following the science, not selectively doing so.

[Kevin Bass @kevinnbass]

March 29, 2021 Rochelle Walensky, Director of CDC, infamously declared on MSNBC:

"Vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick."

Emails obtained by FOIA from Jan 30, 2021 show that Walensky knew this was a lie at the time she said it.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In our competitive society, where it seems that only the strong and winners deserve to live, sport also teaches us how to lose. It forces us, in learning the art of losing, to confront our fragility, our limitations and our imperfections. It is through the experience of these limits that we open our hearts to hope. Athletes who never make mistakes, who never lose, do not exist.
