This is a product that shows why there shouldn’t be any billionaires: These people live completely detached from reality—and their narcissistic hubris makes them a danger to any civilized society. Musk, like all the other PayPal billionaires—Thiel, for example—is the best example: They are mentally ill individuals who feel validated by their financial success.

This is by no means their achievement, but rather a flaw in the system that grants power to these people, who have done nothing more than happen to be in the right place at the right time with money. They simply should never have this kind of power, because they are antisocial in the truest sense of the word.

I’m not a U.S. citizen, but I’ve never missed an election in my home country.

Edit: Just in case it wasn’t clear—I don’t live in the U.S. either.

With people like Schumer, not a single thing will change.

As an observer from afar, I can of course only be pleased that U.S. citizens have taught the current regime a lesson. Nevertheless, it’s sobering to see how little this will actually change. Things will stay the same: The U.S. is an oligarchy in which a child molester and serious criminal is president—the opposition cannot be taken seriously, since its leadership prevents people who actually want to change the status quo from reaching positions of power.

There will be no prosecution for all the crimes the regime has openly committed; everything will remain as it is, with the only difference being that it will be less obvious. That is as certain as death and taxes, as long as corrupt politicians like Schumer are not held accountable.

Yes, apparently they’re suddenly worried that stealing other people’s work—which is their business model—might backfire on them. I assume this is a measure intended to give the impression—in the face of one of the countless lawsuits against Anthropic—that they’re actually taking licensing or intellectual property rights seriously. I can’t think of any other explanation, because Anthropic simply can’t afford to have questions raised about where the training data used by their models actually comes from.
