One thing that AI evangelists seem to assume, particularly legal AI evangelists assume, is that the thinking and analysis is quick, and the writing is just tedious busywork that slows us down.
But the writing IS the thinking and analysis. You work out the thinking and analysis by writing it down.
Consumer here means anyone who isn't rich. What they will do about it, is nothing.
Apparently Yglesias thinks that the way for democrats to win is the become republicans. Well, I got good news for him! the democrats already thought of that and have been doing it for 30 years.
A reminder to authors: If your book was among the many titles pirated by Anthropic to train their AI, make sure to file your claim by March 30th. Your publisher will be filing, but my publishers tell me that the only way to *ensure* payment is by submitting your own valid claim. #AcademicSky 🧵1/n

Strongly encourage all academics, novelists, reporters, bloggers, whatever to just email this account and state that you want to opt out of this idiocy.
Overload them with emails and make them regret they ever tried this shit.

This is only true if you don't value human life.
What is the perfect drink, and why is it a Mango Lassi?
It looks like we're going to have a lot of unnecessary fatalities around the world due to the sheer cowardice of our legislators.
