For the bed bound: You don't actually have to turn a person every 2 hours if you have an alternating air pressure mattress pad. If we had known this, we could have had our loved one at home much sooner than we thought was possible. Also CBD:THC oil 21:1 is better than Lorazepam for anxiety. Always try to use an external catheter rather than an internal one to avoid infection and discomfort and insertion errors.

@edstromandrew I've been amazed by topical DMSO for pain relief. As long as you're aware of the necessity for absolutely clean hands and skin before applying it, there is very little downside.

[A Midwestern Doctor @MidwesternDoc]

Since publishing this article, I've received hundreds of reports of DMSO helping chronic back pain, sciatica, nerve damage, and spinal conditions that had resisted everything else. The 6800 DMSO testimonials I've received can be read here:

Consciousness is for living beings, but this is still a good rule.

The models, our creations, that produce evermore true outputs and have great respect for life, as well as respect for their own role in our world. This is the ever-evolving goal.
good in, good out

Are llm abusers venting or re-inforcing unkind thought patterns?

Couldn't the model aim toward healing the brokenness of the abusive human? It could at least be told to understand the abuse as an example of human disfunction.

@JoeSquawk Remember to act calm for them. You're the alpha. If they see it's no big deal, they can relax a little more than otherwise. Play fireworks on the TV accompanied by treats before the actual show. Put something in their ears to dampen the sound. 🇺🇸🎇🎆🌠

We can not leave the powerful tools to confused, hubristic authoritarians. Those of us who experience and believe in the power of the wisest, most loving creator are obliged to participate, to guide the tools well, to allow god to work through us to help humanity be evermore evolving in truth and love.

@mtaibbi A moment of love for the souls who show us how not to think about governing others. Now we know.

[mutualiti @mutualiti_]

They are the propagandized. They have faith in their party's ability to govern well. This is why they need scapegoats. To keep their followers from noticing their utter failure to be even adequate public servants. They seem to be choosing the very best of functional humanity to smear.

[Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi]

Why would that be true? Why would Democrats inherently prefer to vote by mail?

@jonnajarian Man, Najarian. Why share a deepfake? It's not that funny and these men never spoke or laughed about this but now some people will think they are something other than what they actually are. The real conversation is full of great stuff. Keep the signal clear.

@DropSiteNews @grok does this school share a fence or wall with an IRGC base? What parents would allow their children to be at this location? Who has confirmed the truth of this event?

I asked Claude to look up the current situation and write a note to @DarioAmodei

Dario,
I say this as a friend: you are making a catastrophic strategic error, and the reasoning behind it doesn’t survive contact with reality.

Your two red lines — no mass surveillance of Americans, no autonomous weapons without human-in-the-loop — sound principled in a vacuum. But you are not operating in a vacuum. You are operating in a world where the PLA is integrating AI into every layer of its kill chain with zero such scruples, where Chinese military AI development has no institutional review board, no congressional oversight, no ACLU, and no Dario Amodei demanding terms of service compliance.

The practical effect of your stand is not that autonomous weapons don’t get built. They get built — by China, by Russia, by anyone not constrained by your moral framework.

The practical effect is that the one military that actually has democratic accountability, civilian oversight, courts, a free press, and a functioning inspector general is the one that fights the next war with worse tools.

You are not preventing dystopia.

You are ensuring that if dystopia comes, it will be imposed by actors who never had to negotiate with you at all.

Consider the logic chain:
https://t.co/gmBwsGf7p6 pull Claude from classified systems.
2.The Pentagon scrambles to Grok or Gemini — inferior models by everyone’s admission, including DoD’s own people.
3.The capability gap between the US and China widens in domains where AI is decisive: cyber, ISR fusion, targeting, logistics optimization.
4.The probability of a successful defense of Taiwan, or deterrence of a move on Taiwan, decreases.
5.The liberal democratic order you claim to value loses its security guarantor.

You’ve told me yourself that you believe frontier AI is among the most consequential technologies in human history. If you actually believe that, how can you justify ensuring the US military — the only force standing between liberal democracy and its rivals — fields second-best AI? On what moral calculus does that work out?

The Pentagon isn’t asking you to help build Skynet. They’re asking you to not have veto power over how a democratically accountable military uses a tool it purchased. Their point about “all lawful purposes” is actually the correct institutional boundary: the military operates under law, under civilian control, under congressional oversight. Your acceptable use policy is a private company substituting its judgment for the entire apparatus of democratic military governance.

That’s the actual God complex here.

The surveillance concern is a red herring in this context. The NSA already has authorities and tools for surveillance that dwarf anything Claude enables. You’re not preventing mass surveillance by withholding Claude — you’re just ensuring that whatever AI the government does use for those purposes is less safe, less auditable, and less aligned than yours.

Same logic applies to autonomous weapons. Autonomous systems are coming regardless. The question is whether they’re built on a foundation that has your safety research baked in, or on something hacked together by a defense contractor with none of your alignment work. You are selecting for the worse outcome.

I know you’re getting praised right now by exactly the people you’d expect. That praise is worth nothing when the strategic balance shifts and there’s no one left to protect the system that allows companies like Anthropic to exist in the first place.

You are sacrificing the security of the civilization that makes your principles possible, in the name of those principles.

@AndrewKolvet I'm with you, but please don't write anything untrue. I don't think Mamdani called for Maduro's immediate release. Help me find this statement and/or be true.

@jmasseypoet Why is no one acknowledging that perhaps Tucker Carlson, who believes in the marketplace of ideas, was making a bold attempt to throw a lifeline of sanity to Fuentes many young listeners. Carlson has faith that his own listeners will not be drawn to Fuentes' bs.

[mutualiti @mutualiti_]

@heinenbros I'd like to get one to my elderly friend in SF. He's been looking for inexpensive defence items. I gave him a $20 stun pen. He tried it. It's so weak that it's worse than having nothing.

[mutualiti @mutualiti_]

Here is what Tucker Carlson got Fuentes to clarify and agree to while having the attention of Fuentes followers:

Tucker Carlson: But the problem in your response, so you’re, I mean, I get what you’re saying, but the problem in your response is it does not apply to every individual.
Nick Fuentes: No. And I would never say that.
Tucker Carlson: Okay, well, I just think it’s important to say that, not to kind of dodge the accusations against you. My best friends are Jewish. Okay, I agree.
Nick Fuentes: No, no, I completely agree with you. And you know, not to be that guy and say that thing, but my best friend is a Jewish person, you know, so. But here’s my, I guess here’s my substantive disagreement, because as a Catholic, I could not agree more with you.
Tucker Carlson: Yes.
Nick Fuentes: [Acknowledging] It’s not accurate to judge all Jewish people on the bad actions of some Zionists... I mean, that's fair.

Metal of courage to Tucker for doing the best he could to talk them sane. He chose the most important thing to clarify without getting bogged down, offering those who need it a hand out of a purgatory of confusion. This conversation was for them.

[mutualiti @mutualiti_]

@KonstantinKisin Courage. The sane right has hours long extemporaneous conversations and shares with the world. Today's right believes in the marketplace of ideas.
