"This won't be a popular opinion, b/c I'm going to credulously take an obvious hit job at face value in order to pontificate about what a fair grade is as if that's the question at hand, all while the right wing harassment machine hungry for blood does its thing just out of frame. I am very smart."

Wow! And as soon as it demonstrates any of these capabilities - or any capability Anthropic can sell at a profit - I will revise my policy of "assuming everything an LLM-company CEO says is a lie or distortion until proven otherwise."
Juuuuust gonna wait right here. For that. Any time now.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.
The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

What is a reactionary centrist, and does the UK have them?
A term favoured by US progressives can help us understand Britain’s drift to the right

Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage.
Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants.

About 80% of my grammar suggestions from Microsoft Word are “why not use a simpler word here for clarity?”
No. Fuck you.
I will use a complicated word for evocative precision whenever the muse’s clarion song demands ebullience, vivacity, torpor, or solemnity, you shit-ass suck machine.

For everonye outside of germany, a superrich family fumbled dodging taxes and now paid the record sum of 4 BILLION euros.
Which would cover nationwide child coverage by 166%
That is the amount of money countries miss out on due to rich people evading taxes

Um das klarzustellen: EINE EINZIGE Milliardärsfamilie verkackt es versehentlich (!), die Erbschaftssteuer zu dodgen und verursacht dadurch Steuereinnahmen, die die gescheiterte BUNDESWEITE Kindergrundsicherung zu 166% abgedeckt hätten. Imagine, man würde alle Superreichen konsequent fair besteuern.
