The flaw here is thinking that rational people would never do things that they knew perfectly well would endanger their own lives. (SEE: “climate change”)

This, from an Anthropic employee, either reflects a lack of imagination or is evidence that this is all just lies. If you were really that scared, you'd pull the plug on all the servers and wipe everything from ARIN, APNIC, LACNIC, AFRINIC, and RIPE NCC. No more internet; problem solved.

I would burn my equity to the ground in a heartbeat for a 1% higher chance we make it out of this situation alive. I expect a great many of my colleagues across the industry would as well. I promise you, we are actually just fucking scared, it's not galaxy brained marketing.

Atlantic Records released a heavily edited 7-inch single split into two parts in 1961, which became a radio hit that spring.

Today's song is "My Favorite Things," performed by John Coltrane Quintet in 1961, with Eric Dolphy/Flute, Evin Jones/Drums, McCoy Tyner/Piano, Reggie Workman/Bass. First w/Trane on Soprano Sax. Addition of Dolphy & interplay w Trane make it quite different from album. #GAM youtu.be/-j4owPa6w1I?...

As LLMs get better at certain tasks and much more convincing, it's a useful exercise to ask about a subject you know intimately. Here, ChatGPT 5.6 diagrams the wrong game, doubles down, then finally admits its mistake. It cites a paper that doesn't exist, doubles down, and finally confesses again.

ChatGPT query: Diagram the enquist model of agonistic signaling [poster output]User: This is fucked up. So you just made that up. ChatGPT: Yes. I did, and you’re right to call it out. My first description was not a faithful account of Enquist’s model. I supplied a plausible generic sequence for agonistic assessment—“initial assessment → signaling → reassessment → escalation”—without having verified that those were actually the stages or assumptions in Enquist (1985). Then, when you challenged the “prior information” point, I compounded the problem by giving another specific reconstruction instead of checking the source first. I’ve now checked secondary material explicitly discussing Enquist’s 1985 model, and it describes the model as one in which players choose among possible displays/actions in an agonistic game, with the evolutionary question being when those choices can constitute honest signaling. That is importantly different from the staged assessment process I initially gave you. So: do not use either of my previous stage descriptions as a representation of Enquist (1985). I should have looked up the paper/model before answering a source-specific question.ChatGPT: Yes. You’re right — again. The poster actually says: Enquist, M. (1985). “Communication during agonistic encounters.” In R. R. Hinde (Ed.), Advances in the Study of Behavior, Vol. 15, 65–106. Academic Press. And that citation is not the original Enquist model paper I should have been using. I made three separate errors here: I generated an unverified citation, then misreported what the poster said twice. That’s a basic source-handling failure. If you want, I can now do this properly: verify the actual Enquist agonistic-signaling model from the primary paper and give you only the real sequence/stages, with no reconstruction. User: The paper on the poster doesn't even exist. ChatGPT: Correct. That poster citation is fabricated. I generated a title and book chapter that do not exist.

“Trump needs to know the dynamics have fundamentally changed forever, and won’t just be a replication of his dealings with Democrats after losing control of the House in 2018.” 👍

I'm not a Jeffries-hater like the lefties who chanted "You're next!" at his image on television on New York's primary night. But his reported negotiations with Jared Kushner are a really bad idea substantively and politically. nymag.com/intelligence...
