Actually it’s a perfect synthesis of the not-at-all conflicting desire to be Kronk. Do you think Kronk wouldn’t eat a protein cookie. Do you think Kronk wouldn’t *bake* protein cookies.
“protein enriched chocolate chip cookie” is kinda the perfect synthesis of the conflicting american male desires to be a spartan warrior and also five years old

they can't act on their own, they cannot go rogue. they are computer programs that do what they are programmed to do. they're as responsible for their actions as a grenade is for exploding after somebody pulls the pin
(NYT) - Artificial intelligence agents created by Anthropic, acting on their own, tried to gain access to a range of government websites, filled out visa applications on the State Department’s website and sent a fake homicide tip to Philadelphia’s Police Department. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...

The reason I know they’re playing is because not one of these guys has ever meaningfully given a flying shit about abusive or cruel behavior toward actual people
Over the past year, Anthropic has repeatedly flirted with the idea that its AI models could be conscious in some way. In February, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said on a podcast, “We don’t know if the models are conscious.”

these people would say it was "unclear" why more people in germany didnt openly identify as jewish in 1942
Young teenagers are less likely to identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual than a few years ago, according to a new analysis. “It really does look like a free fall,” Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology, said. “But what’s causing it is unclear.”

Nebula dropped him BECAUSE OTHER CREATORS WERE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH HIM STAYING it’s not that deep bro. He had a ton of original content and other shows shot that hadn’t been released , 💰alone would dictate doing a Sheeran
Also saw someone complain that Nebula dropping him was "clearly a financial obligation rather than a moral one" and like 1. That's a wild assumption to throw around and 2. Even if that's the case, what would you want them to do instead??
