Only one reason I can think that Anthropic would invest money into a project like this.
They must be doing this so activists can connect with each other and unify for the same cause. Strength in awareness and numbers. Anthropic must be a company for the people.
minority report prologue
the rule of law no longer applies.
your constitutional rights no longer exist.
you are a criminal slave that exists purely to increase shareholder value.
you haven’t even said “thank you”, scum.
This reminds me of the movie minority report
Imagine being so angry that the poor people don’t love you that you speed run singularity to try get revenge.
If anyone needs to be monitored, it’s all of these fucking techno-feudalist freaks.
If you know what feudalism is, and want it back so bad that you’re willing to bankroll it to the tune of billions of dollars, then you need to be monitored. At the very least. A real, functioning democracy would take those types of threats to its existence seriously.
Instead we (e.g. any alleged form of government safe guard meant to protect us from devolving back into such barbaric forms of society like feudalism) just sit back and say “huh, I wonder if they’ll be able to completely destroy our government this time. Oh well, guess we’ll find out”. Or even worse, now that these psychopaths control the levers of government in the US, they are actually aiding it. They think they want feudalism back because they’re just temporarily embarrassed feudal lords.
Edit:
These people literally want to make us back into serfs. And we’ll answer to a fucking LLM. That will be the only interface between us and the Lords. You know that Amazon chatbot? That’s your boss now… Err no that’s not right. The word “boss,” is not sufficient to describe the relationship. That chat bot owns you now. Well, the person who owns the server it’s running on owns you, but why would they ever choose to interact with dirty serfs when AI can do it? If it’s important, they’ll relay it to them. They won’t even be aware of your medical complaints, let alone need to hear them, let alone need to address the working conditions that created them.
This shit is not a joke and it is very much not funny. It’s genuinely insane that we are allowing this to happen.

What are we supposed to do though? Honest question. Everything just seems so hopeless.
Connect with your community. Work at a local level, and build from that foundation with others doing the same to take on bigger problems
Things are going to get rough for the whole planet, seems like that’s unavoidable at this point, but that doesn’t mean things are going to be bad everywhere all the time
One person can’t fix the world, but you can make life better for the people around you. Things can get better locally. Good, even
Hey, just asking the question is a good first step. Talk to people in your community (family, friends, workplace, the gym, wherever you spend time) about these problems. Ask them what they think. Gently suggest some solutions based on working together. If you really don’t have any solutions, say “then what are we supposed to do?” again, and brainstorm some ideas together.

So after temporarily being the good guys for resisting trump, they’re going all in on being evil I presume to court trump?

It was all for show, of course. Billionaires do have class solidarity, unlike us plebs.
bog standard capitalism, really.
activists= everyone not a white, republican, christian.
*straight, although theil is a gay man so I didn’t understand why they give him a pass
Because they believe in unequality. They want you to follow certain set of morals, some of which has no basis in reality, all while they don’t follow any of it.
They don’t hate stuff like pedophilic poor people because pedophilia is bad. They hate pedophilic poor people because they want child molestation to be exclusively of theirs, a kind of a status symbol. Similarly they want you to not be gay for some weird pronatalist obsession of theirs, all while they want to secretly go to gay parties.
When Curtis Yarvin and others say they want feudalism back, they don’t mean a king that is nice like in the fantasy novels they read, they want the nobles to re exempt of the law. Or unequality.
The fist condition is not a billionaire only then it checks for everything else. It’s first and foremost a class war.
because capitalists are truly a different species so his peers don’t see him as gay, just as $.
hes also funding the police state, and he has money to keep MSM off his sexual orieintation. his defenestration of his young male model side piece barely made a blip on the msm, if at all. Also he will be overseas when shit hits the fan. funny enough he has 2 daughters, whom he is shielding.
This is exactly what “I have nothing to hide” should sound exceedingly thin. If “knowledge is power”, then they already have power over you. It will start with “activists“ for “safety purposes,” just like flock, but it ends in totalitarianism.
“A republic, if we can keep it.”
“I have nothing to hide.”
So a camera in your bathroom.
“Why would that be anyone else’s business except my own?”
Exactly.
They’re literally dumb walking into Minority Report and all the other distopian movies. What would you expect.
I used this example on my parents. They asked, “Why would there be a camera in my bathroom?” I’m not sure if they ever connected the dots to this day.
You could be doing crimes there mom and dad? Are you making heroin in the bathroom mom and dad? I’m worried enough about the possibility now that I’m going to have to report you to the cops.
They are going to come investigate and you better not be in the bathroom when they get here or they are going to kick down the door for your safety and shoot the dog for assaulting an officer by barking, making the officer fear for their life.
If you then run out of the bathroom confused and yelling about our dead dog, that may rightly be seen by the officer as a threat and attempted murder demanding a justified defensive shooting response - You will be shot in self defense and mom will be arrested as an accessory to attempted murder of an officer.
If you didn’t have anything to hide, you wouldn’t have walls on your home or clothes on/open body cavities where you are clearly concealing weapons with intent to harm. I thought I knew you mom and dad… Look what you made the officers do??
Philip k dick just died again.
Anthropic needs to die.
while Anthropic was fast to call the cops on a frustrated Claude user, the Standard also reported a key detail: Anthropic refused to show police the actual messages, citing Anthropic’s internal policy. In short, Anthropic reported a user for in-platform speech, and then refused to provide police with evidence of actual wrongdoing.
Anthropic’s apparent game plan:
- Get a list of anti-AI advocates
- Swat them
- Refuse to show evidence of claims
I don’t want to be all “I told you so” but I have been saying they’re building all these data centers for surveillance reasons for a while now. Like people aren’t using LLMs enough for any reason to justify all the data centers and the numbers aren’t growing, but Surveillance Data? That’s always growing.
I heard someone say the other day that most of the time when there’s a ‘bad’ technology it starts off as something good that everyone likes, and gradually becomes bad over time, like social media. But AI is something a bit more rare in that it came out and the majority of people didn’t especially want or like it, but it really feels like it’s being ‘forced’ into existence, so to speak. Which makes me think there’s something else going on.
That’s just because it’s your bubble AI was used excessively before with stuff like deepl for translation, dragon speak for speech to text, in medicine it was used all the time for images, like CT or met scans and a lot in ultrasound. Further most vocaloids are basically AI too.
Anyone talking about AI in any context in a normal forum nowadays is discussing LLMs. Nobody cared about machine learning or neural nets that were actually being used for their designed purpose.
Yeah ml has a lot of good uses and purposes.
Yup. It’s a scary time. You take some LinkedIn data, some Walmart shopping habits, a Spotify user catalog, a Google timeline, combined with Flock footage - mix it all together with “AI” - and suddenly you’ve got an extremely detailed profile of any individual you want. And we’re only in the early stages. That is, spying, prediction, eavesdropping… The only logical conclusion to the surveillance apparatus is an evolution towards an apparatus for control. And it will be the most sinister, subtle, and undetectable type of coercion imaginable.
I just want to grill for gods sake.
mix it all together with “AI”
And this is the biggest problem of all. Nobody can explain why the AI picked a specific record to escalate its “suspicion”. Nobody is accountable when it picks the wrong person, or when it creates suspicion without any actual wrongdoing taking place.
All the better when they start going after whoever they want because “AI” said so. The reality is this is just the excuse they were looking for.
Lying AI decided to pull you over today sir, would you mind telling me why?
They’re definitely not. Hard drives use a fraction of the energy a single LLM prompt does. A study calculated that every 100 words uses an entire water bottle’s worth of water. That’s a lot of cooling for 100 words. It’s very likely that these companies use several gpus for every single prompt, meaning huge servers for just a few users.
Meanwhile the internet archive has archived a significant portion of the internet with nary a data center in sight.
You can compress video. You can’t compress the energy needed to generate output.
All the hard drive do is storing the data, they do need the data centers to comb through them for any patterns they deemed to be a threat to them
Which still doesn’t require as much energy as LLMs do. I run exactly that on my own server at home. And my unifi system does it on video all locally with no GPU at all. Video processing for identification is incredibly cheap and easy from a computer processing standpoint these days. You literally can do it on a raspberry pi.
What on Earth are you doing that for…
What on earth am I doing what for?
Combing for patterns in people on your own server. Think about what it sounds like.
I’m just gonna hope you’re joking and not that your username is an accurate description.
Knowing when someone is at your doorbell without ringing the doorbell is pretty useful. Same for knowing if your dog got out, or a number of other things. I don’t like sharing my neighbors data with Amazon or the Feds, so running it all locally is perfect. I get to control how long any data is kept for, what it scans for, and none of it leaves my property.
Wasn’t this the macguffin that Captain America blew up Shield to stop?
We should do more of that, yeah. Conveniently, the nazi SHIELD CEO of the whole thing died in the building as a result. Just sayin’.
