A post on X from the betting platform Polymarket that says “BREAKING: Anthropic CEO says Claude may or may not have gained consciousness, as the model has begun showing symptoms of anxiety.”

Wang Shishen 汪士慎 (1686-1759), October 1728:

每餐先备买鱼钱，曾记携归小似拳，
一自爪牙动黠鼠，傍人安稳卧青氊。

She used to be no bigger than my hand --
Now with claw and tooth she routs the crafty rat,
And drowses by her humans on her mat.

HELLO?!?!?!

One of the crimes of AI has been the destruction of the beautiful "my nephew made this logo for me on his computer!" energy from all the hyper-local plumbers and taco shops. AI slop on white work vans is a crime against humanity.

"I hope you realize it is incredibly easy to be a best selling author in 2026 8 all you have to do is put your book in a sub sub sub sub sub category of a genre and if you sell three books while your competitor in that genre, those two books you are now a best selling author." i showed her my spot on the indie next list
