This hadnβt gone exactly how theyβd like. In December, Bloomberg reported recently, βa senior US defense official posed a hypothetical scenarioβ to Amodei: What if a nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missile were hurtling towards the US with only 90 seconds to spare, and Anthropicβs AI were the only way to trigger a missile response to save the country, but the companyβs safeguards wouldnβt allow it, the senior official mused in a December phone call. βCall me,β was how Pentagon officials interpreted Amodeiβs answer, according to another senior defense official briefed on the discussion, who described being astounded by the billionaireβs response. LOL. Our beautiful generals have many medals and some even have battlefield experience, but I can say with some confidence that they have never engaged with a Rationalist online and are deeply unprepared for what it means to pick a fight with one.
[Dario Amodei Bane voice] βOh, you think stupid elaborate hypotheticals are your ally. But you merely adopted elaborate and weirdly specific hypothetical scenarios; I was born in them, molded by them. I didnβt see a normal argument until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING!β
one of the funniest things to keep coming out of the anthropic reporting is that the pentagon was trying to convince amodei by proposing elaborate hypothetical scenarios. buddy do you think an EFFECTIVE ALTRUIST has never considered a bizarrely specific and elaborate hypothetical scenario??
It would be sad, if I wasted that emotion on people who hate the idea of my existence.
Anyway, very Gen-X coded. The hockey guys still take your girlfriend and you never get invited to the cocaine parties, friend.
βOut of this profound misapprehension has come a system of reality, a system of ideas even, a system of thought which makes reality really hard to reach.β

It is gonna be, tho
[guy whoβs spent the past 72 hours watching videos on Gnosticism]: gonna be a huge year for Gnosticism I think
BIG FIGHT AT POLANDβS WROCLAW ZOO!!!
This was a political assassination.
Lol I was unreasonably excited to see this, like eeee this is my favorite song and no one ever knows them! But then I realized we are fellow tabscordians huh?
Teachers right now are asked to do too much with too few resources and too little time. And when some dipshit decides to ban half the classroom library, they don't get enough support from their districts. If we think it's important to assign whole novels, great. Ask the teachers what they need

Here is an obituary for Alice Wong from The Sick Times, a publication aligned with disability rights and disability activism, if you are looking for an alternative to reading the nyt one: thesicktimes.org/2025/11/15/a...
Walter Brimley's relative sitting in some sort of cafe or lunch spot with a fellow human and both have those button up shirts that are like jean fabric? But dude check it out this guy facing the camera has two mustaches, one regular and one below his lips. He is looking very intently at his friend as if the double mustache epicness hasn't been commented upon yet and he's getting more and more annoyed by it. This mustache doubling is the peak of masculinity, clearly. His hair is white so it stands out against his skin. He is likely invincible against conventional weaponry
How do we feel about double mustache. The hot new style? The peak of manhood?
Time for the Nardwuar/Nuzzi interview.
I spent seven years writing a book on this and she just⦠said it in three succinct paragraphs to politico.
this entire thing reads like aaron mcgruder wrote it for a boondocks character

This is what California politicians - both GOP and Democratic - are calling "sequoia restoration":
(it's clear-cutting)
Relatable
Lol you can't even get a good ratio going anymore, bro. Maybe time to pack it in, new career. How are you at prompting?
this made me laugh so much
the author of this piece once mocked something i wrote because i began a sentence with βandβ
your crazy ass stupid post just fucked up the whole world . hope it was worth the likes. hope youre enjoying the clicks
Economic assault lol these fucking losers
If a trump voter's net worth is less than what they've paid off on a median value home in their area, they've been fucking conned or they're in a cult. That's what these guys do, that's their whole thing. They're really good at it!
To my fellow Americans in blue states: if you think living in an area that voted red means that you specifically deserve to die and/or have your home destroyed, I have some terrible news for you about the country you live in.
This, totally, and also the vast majority of these people are the VICTIMS of an epic world-class grift, not its fucking benefactors. Like there's people it is valid with ill on. For instance I totes hope Elon is wearing a diaper right now. But we should have a fucking high threshold for that shit.
Again, you lied to your readers about your source. You falsely called him βan academicβ and whitewashed the fact that he is a known proponent of racist eugenics β all while promoting his Substack with a hyperlink and striking a deal to obscure his publicly reported identity.
