Its stupid and hilarious when someone in Rio does it; when a techbro in silicon valley does it they get VC funding, a maserati and an entry on the 30 under 30 list.

> Have you considered just answering truthfully?

I remember the graduate recruitment days - If you told the truth you were the only candidate they saw all day that wasn't the captain of the football team, top of the class and voted most likely to succeed - aka the worst candidate they saw all day.

I presume when it comes to filing taxes, PG is not confused and declares it as capital gains and not earned income.

Having to pay a fat wedge of tax every year on what you "earn" sucks a lot of the life out of the compounding effect.

Maybe we can incorporate the children one by one in delaware and then people will care.

On the plus side they will also then qualify for billions in government subsidies.

> Researchers at Amazon had used a series of prompts to get Anthropic’s Fable 5 model to provide them with information that could be used to aid cyberattacks...

Are there going to be bans on things that could be used to aid in school shootings next?

The gulf war (1991) tv broadcasts of cruise missiles 100 feet above the road sure look(ed) a lot like autonomous drones on their way to killed humans to me.

"Now" is doing a metric ton of heavy lifting in that headline.

On a personal level, everything Anthropic has done has resulted in a dump truck of money being emptied onto the driveways of its employees. Pavlovian conditioning is incredibly strong when reinforced with generational wealth.

It was a defensive flight deploying defensive missiles and defensive bullets against offensive school children who were threatening other countries by being in their own country. Shooting back is an act of war that must be responded to.

(I would add that this is sarcasm, but it is reality for a lot of people sadly)
