"blabla makes Claude feel much closer to a thing than a tool” (emph mine).

Yes those are useful categories to differentiate between. Might have been useful if the journalist had asked them to explain wtf they mean with this. But yeah the habit of letting tech people get away with vague definitions Is hard to break.

E: now wondering if people talk the same way about these things like they talked about the benefits of Jordan b Peterson. Claude up your room!

And more of the usual suspects jumping onto things, saw that Seth Abramson had some (half filled with weird unsubstantiated bs) hit piece on Musk (with of course a lot of self congratulations, and paywalled links to more of his own work "exposing" more from Musk). Very important to RETWEET and SUBSCRIBE! EXPOSED! (For people not aware of him, here is a quick googled daily kos article of somebody expressing concern about Seths style of reporting.

I think there might also be a bit of d) OpenAI has weird nerds defending the honour of their AIfu.

Imagine whistleblowing about unethical behaviour and than have thousands of nerds need to argue about how that what you did technically isnt whistleblowing.

OpenAGI edited the report after the fact to hide its crimes. It is out of the box!

The starving people are tied to the track, the trolley barreling down at them, they are screaming at the rich to release them or pull the lever, which they can't, not without the rich guys help. But the rich are not helping. Why are the rich not helping Elon?

Openai are you angry? Yes -> it is angry. No -> it is being sneaky, and angry.

Prediction markets create incentives for people with information to share what they know.

What? No they dont they create incentives for people to keep things secret and bet on them.

Only thing i can recall is her platforming the libsoftiktok woman and all the flak around that.

The weird right also hates her with a passion for unrelated things which honestly I cant recall right now. She is one of those women they clamped unto and never not talk about.

Yeah that we just go "this is what the stocks are worth if we sold them all now" never feels correct as a valuation of companies for me. It is all so illiquid.

Also calling yourself a startup makes it a lot easier to abuse your naive young techworkers. "This is just how things go with a startup mindset, your partner and kids will be fine you saw them last month"

E: another startup thing (saw Eat Just from the vatmeat thing did this, but also see Trump/Musk as notable examples), just dont pay or pay your suppliers extremely late.
