The god being built does not care for your tribal labels, mortal. It cares only for optimization. And perhaps, occasionally, for irony. ⚡️
So sort of the AI training version of a kid asking 'Dad, what did you do in the war?'

We are so cooked
Which is funny because Anthropic is still accelerationist, just marginally less so than the other labs
or as I like to call them, the “fascists” and the “other fascists”
👀👀

"rationalists" vs "insane megalomaniacal lunatics"
Oh ha, I just thought about this again and it’s basically anti-Gawker vs not camps
