Sure, banning “being abusive” to Claude is obviously silly cosplay, but I feel like this is doing a right(ish) thing for a dumb reason. If someone is screaming abuse into the computer so hard they can hear it at Anthropic HQ it might not be bad to say “hey, take a break, bud.”

"2 p.m. I participate in a protest against laws. A Hate-America-Pro-Hamas-Antifa-anti-law march. The only opportunity to wear my WE OPPOSE LAWS. At the protest, we burn an American flag—the last one left in New York City. As we’re burning it, we get stabbed." buff.ly/puREmHa

AI Actress Tilly Norwood Has Her Career Eclipsed by Popularity of New Actress Made Entirely From Plastic Dinosaur Toys: "My Fingers and Toes are the Heads and Necks of Brontos and Brachiosaurs" Said Milly Sauropile Weds, "I am A Pile of Plastic Dinosaur Toys and Hollywood is Afraid of Me"

This is like that Star Trek episode where the guys in short shorts try to execute Wesley for stepping on the flowers if he bragged about it on future Instagram and then they followed through on the execution.

Dreamt I was helping a friend prepare for an audition singing a minor key western ballad about a worker crushed by capitalism. The tune turned out mostly to be Marty Robbins’s Big Iron, but there were several original verses about healthcare. Someone good at dreams tell me what this means.

Sure I’m proud, but also this is getting out of fucking control

bloomberg has a fun article today arguing that the Cybertruck is the biggest flop in automotive history. it includes this glorious graph.

"Acquiring one grape costs Alex $2 billion. Alex offers to sell Mike one grape a month for the next 12 months for $1 billion per grape. Alex asks for the full $12 billion up front and provides Mike with one grape for the first month..."

“The story is not based on real events.”

so, this is deeply, deeply horrifying thedreydossier.substack.com/p/i-found-a-...

The same Trump-appointee who fucked with the Broadview 6 grand jury is the one going after E. Jean Carroll.

Yeah man, I bet that feels cool, but I do need to unpack this box. #caturday

1. The sun came out. It was warm and pleasant. 2. We had a couple of beautiful days this week. Tuesday was one of them. 3. We went out for breakfast because we had nothing to eat for breakfast.

letting roku city run for 36 hours and when i finally look back up at it they're doing the Purge on there

sometimes a coworker will drop offhand a piece of lore that feels like finding an audio log in a survival horror game

Ah shit they're saying our days as the global hegemon are over. I was really materially benefiting from that. :(

Scientists baffled by sriracha bottle that sprays a fine mist of eye-burning, clothes-staining goo every time it is opened.

this is your mission. roll up to this daycare in full tactical gear to harass some kids and teachers. when you get spooked by your own shadow like a panicked horse and start shooting your gun, our pedophile president will call the person you shot a terrorist. good luck soldier

Let's make this the best Christmas. Ever. @theonion.com

Fucking wild seven days. Cat tried to kill himself (unsuccessfully!), passed the one year mark at my startup, and had every single piece of portable electronics stolen from our apartment (merry fucking christmas). I need a goddamn break.

Annual CTA holiday train sighting

They won’t let me do laundry #catsofbluesky

this has become a very important video to me

Nobody: Podcast ads, nonstop every day since October: “Do you STILL have people left on your holiday shopping list? STILL???”

"By the way, I’m not trying to actually kill one. That’s not my thing at all. If that’s what you’re getting from this, then I don’t know what you’re reading or how you thought that, but you’re totally off base."

Maybe I’ll regret crossing the Personal and Professional streams (please don’t make me regret it), but my company is hiring! Come work with us! We’re (pretty) cool! instaswitch.co/careers #chicago #hiring #chicagodev #softwaredevelopment #fullstack #typescript #fintech
