Open Source infrastructure deserves a business model Open Source infrastructure is essential, invisible, and chronically underfunded. A more sustainable approach may be to connect the cost of running that infrastructure to the organizations that rely on...

Open source software is free to download. But the infrastructure behind it is not. Most Open Source projects are funded through a fragile mix of donations and goodwill. Open Source infrastructure deserves a business model! dri.es/open-source-...

l keep saying this and AI types just ignore it:

Cognitive neuroscience is a field that exists and has an ongoing body of research. We haven't "solved" consciousness, but we aren't totally in the dark either. Neurons aren't just binary switches, and their networks aren't running programs.

They ended up disbanding Shield because it was infiltrated top to bottom by Hydra so this lines up

Look forward to reading this.

We do need to have a conversation about what we want the world to look like; right now I think our oligarchs want to strip it for scrap and whatever comes after humans.

But the rest of us should get a say. We don’t need billionaires.

Don’t forget that Armageddon believer Peter Thiel is deeply invested in Anthropic and also is JD Vance’s mentor and personal billionaire. Also two weeks ago Anthropic’s ethics guru resigned. His parting words were β€œhumanity is in peril.” So tho Anthropic has a line, but ai is not safe or woke.

A Cookie for Dario? β€” Anthropic and selling death - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

Everybody is (understandably) very excited that Anthropic isn't selling their AI for Hegseth to use to automate his war crimes. But I would gently suggest that we not accept setting the bar quite so low. www.anildash.com/2026/02/27/a...

The people riding Anthropic's dick have conveniently forgotten Bezos during Trump's first term vs now and Google's Don't Be Evil.

There's no excuse for ignorance here. This is the corporate oligarchy setting up for post-Trump. The menu had not changed. It doesn't until WE put THEM on it.

Glad Anthropic stood up against the regime for now!

But seeing so many politicians and media folk getting ahead of themselves claiming Anthropic as overall good and responsible is concerning 😭

They knowingly stole the works of almost every creative, to power their models per court documents.

This afternoon the president is crashing out over the Supreme Court's tariff ruling and Anthropic while the defense secretary feuds with universities and the scouts... glad everyone involved in the potentially imminent war with Iran is in a good mindset.

Now is when we will find out whether the Antitrust Division has been spared the corruption that has infected the rest of the administration. They were talking about challenging a Netflix-Warner; will they challenge the much more dangerous Paramount buy, or will Trump block any real review?

One family is about to control CBS, CNN, HBO, and TikTok. They’ll buy Warner Brothers with $24 billion from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi. To win over Trump, they canceled Colbert, blocked a 60 Minutes CECOT investigation, and blocked Talarico. Much more will follow. Block this rotten deal.

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Off the top of my head:

Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.
