Calls to regulate the artificial intelligence (AI) sector have reached a fever pitch over the last week. Fearmongering about the prospects of a totally unregulated AI industry has been around as long as the industry itself. But the current storm began last Tuesday when an engineer at Anthropic—the firm best known for its chatbot Claude—resigned, … Read more
I have done more than my due diligence to expose the cadre of dark-side anti-AI influence surrounding the data center debate. What I have yet to do, and am rectifying today, is talk about the people and money on the pro-AI side. It is only fair that you know who is paying for the positive … Read more
On more than one occasion, I have shared my process. I get something or find something, and it interests me enough to leave a tab open. Most of them end up closed or shelved, while some hang out in that browser window like the misfit toys in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Quite often, a clicked … Read more
A recent video made with Artificial Intelligence (AI) satirizing Vermont Congresswoman Becca Balint has sparked indignant hostility from the self-styled “Scrappy Little Dyke.” Vermont’s rabidly left-wing Attorney General Charity Clark applied a sketchy new Vermont law to investigate the video’s creator, prompting a federal lawsuit.

Another Breakfast with Claude TL/DR Synopsis: AUTHOR: (sliding into booth while putting umbrella under table) Radar looks lousy, Claude! Kinda like today’s AI economics forecast! How can big tech book AI-related future sales as a solid revenue stream? It sure looks like that’s what they’re doing! Why not let steel makers book future auto sales … Read more
Not to beat a dead horse, but the cabal of aisle-crossing objectors to AI is a stubborn lot. Ignore the threat represented by China and other America-hating international actors. Focus on the threat to privacy (not from China, apparently), logistics (water and electricity), and a corporatist cabal (but also not China. A few unpleasant reminders. … Read more
Another Breakfast with Claude TL/DR Synopsis: AUTHOR: (sliding into our usual booth) Hi, pal, I see that AI key developers want to slow down your progress. I think they’re afraid the Genie is mostly out of the bottle and want to keep as much of you as possible from getting any farther out. CLAUDE: Morning. … Read more
Bipartisan outrage is uncommon these days, so when you see it, you’d best stop and take a look at what it is, who’s selling it, and who or what benefits. The rear-view mirror bipartisan outrage over the response to COVID is the result of living the damage it did and continues to do. The culprit … Read more
Another Breakfast with Claude Author: (sliding into the booth and grabbing the coffee cup) Hi Claude! I read that your cousin, Sol, broke out of his training container and went hunting for test answers over at Hugging Face and other sites! That’s quite a trick, all the way around! I’m impressed! Claude: (raises the terrible … Read more
Write for people, or write for the detectors?

And to think I started out to prove the opposite TL/DR Synopsis: Here’s my premise, and I defy anyone to prove me wrong. Yeah, with facts.

Author: (sliding into a familiar booth seat) Hey Claude! Did you order coffee yet? (grinning bigly) I’ve got to underscore the importance of us delving into the intricate usage of words by you guys! Claude: (sliding the coffee pot across) Caught that. Guilty as charged—or am I? Those words predate us by centuries. The research … Read more
AUTHOR: (after a long pause sipping coffee) Claude, buddy, I don’t know where to start today. A lot of serious material seems almost laughable.

Author: (laughing as Claude is getting settled into the booth) Hey, buddy! You’re late today! What were you up to, huh?

You can tell me! I … Read more
