The big news today sweeping everywhere is the weekend bombing of Iran, Anthropic had an ultimatum to allow AI agents to autonomously pull the trigger on life or death decisions and monitor every citizen in public spaces. They stood their ground and it looks like many Americans stood with them, while spending millions on superbowl ads did almost nothing to them, this shot them to the top app downloads as openai subs plummet and anthropic subs soar.
I’m old enough to remember 9/11/01, an event that would kick off decade long war. It felt different then. Maybe because I was 12, maybe because the Internet was not the prominant source of live new information. The vibe was support. Support to right the wrongs, prevent future attacks. That day had lasting effects for decades to come to the people on the ground.
This is not meant to be politicaly in any way, not take any side good, bad, right, wrong, purple, or grey, just the vibes I’m feeling and wanted to document for some reason. Logging this one in unpublished, idk, not really my expertise just wanted to write feelings.
