Ditched openclaw for Hermes. Now, I ditched Hermes for @bot. Definitely an upgrade.

This is the worst mass doxxing I've ever seen
Just personally searched several high end apartment buildings that include people I personally know's PRIMARY residence (not pied a terre)
Not only were their units listed, but nearly every unit in the entire building was listed
They clearly took an incredibly expansive view of "could be" and just doxxed a huge percentage of all expensive apartments in new york city
Fuck absolutely everyone involved in this, this is incredibly dangerous
The city published a list of all properties -- and the names of the owners -- that *could be* subject to the new pied a terre tax in a very easy to search Excel sheet:

This is in Claude Design...lol @AnthropicAI -- get your shit together

For more than six decades, the Cuban regime has been the leading sponsor of radical leftism and Third Worldism in the United States.
The State Department is exposing the full history of Cuban espionage and subversion in our country.

JUST IN: NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani used America’s 250th anniversary to sharply criticize the country, accusing the U.S. of allowing children to go hungry while billionaires and “oligarchs” gain more power.
He said America’s wealth was built by working people with “calloused, dirt-streaked hands" while accusing the country of allowing the wealth built by workers to be concentrated in “the soft hands of a precious few.”
Palantir's CEO just exposed Sam Altman and Dario Amodei for robbing every Fortune 500 company.
Within two minutes, Alex Karp took the entire frontier AI industry apart on national television.
His exact words:
"Every single enterprise in this country, these people are LIVID. They are paying for tokens that create no value. These people are stealing the weights and alpha of my business."
He literally said the entire frontier AI business model is intellectual property extraction dressed up as a subscription.
Then he also destroyed the pricing model with a single question that Silicon Valley still refuses to answer:
"If it was so valuable, let's say I can make you $1 billion tomorrow. Wouldn't I say I'll make you $1 billion and I want 30 percent? Why are they charging for tokens if it's so valuable?"
That question breaks the industry.
If OpenAI and Anthropic's models truly delivered the productivity gains the labs claim, they would take equity or a share of the profit they generate. They would not sell access by the million tokens.
Token pricing is itself the CONFESSION that the product cannot produce reliable value at scale. If it did, they would price for the value. But they price for the compute because that is what they are actually selling.
Karp went even further...
He called the entire arrangement "a wealth tax that does not help the poor. It just punishes."
American businesses are transferring the alpha of their operations, meaning the workflows, the customer data, the strategy memos, the internal models that make them competitive, directly into the training pipelines of a handful of Silicon Valley labs. Once those labs retrain, the customer's own edge becomes the next enterprise product sold back to their competitors.
And the part the AI industry does not want anyone thinking about:
Every enterprise running its confidential documents, its customer conversations, and its financial models through a frontier model is potentially teaching that model HOW to replace them.
The vendor collects the token fee AND the compounding intelligence about that customer's business. That is the mechanism. And that is why Karp used the word "stealing."
He claims this is why every executive he meets is furious in private and silent in public. Nobody wants to be the CEO who called out the labs and then discovered their next competitor was built on their own leaked workflows.
The entire AI industry has been priced for perfection on one assumption:
That frontier labs produce durable, defensible value that justifies infinite compute spend.
But Karp just told us that the customers do not believe that assumption anymore. They believe they are being taxed without benefit, watched without consent, and copied without recourse.
The moment enterprises stop believing, the whole valuation stack shakes.
Claude Fable 5 will be available again globally tomorrow.
After a series of productive conversations with the US government, we're redeploying the model with a new set of classifiers to target and block more cybersecurity tasks. In the near term, some routine tasks like coding and debugging will fall back to Opus 4.8. We’ll continue to refine these classifiers over the coming weeks to reduce false positives and better distinguish genuine misuse from legitimate requests.
We’ve also begun drafting a consensus framework—with Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and other Glasswing partners—for assessing the severity of AI jailbreaks and how AI developers should respond to them. We invite other industry partners and model providers to join us in this effort.
Finally, we’re scaling up our collaboration with the US government on model testing and safeguards. This will include pre-release access to models and safeguards for evaluation, information sharing on jailbreaks and misuse, and dedicated resources for joint research.
Thank you to our users for your patience, and to our partners across the government, industry, and the research community who worked alongside us to make Fable 5 available again.

This is why socialists hate AI:
"If Mayor Zohran Mamdani is claiming that socialists “solved years of capitalist mismanagement” through his first budget, that statement is, at minimum, highly incomplete and arguably misleading because it leaves out where much of the budget relief actually came from.
The key facts are:
New York State provided roughly $8 billion in additional resources across the current and upcoming fiscal years. However, that was not $8 billion in cash. It consisted of roughly:about $3 billion in additional direct state aid, and
about $5 billion in state-authorized financial changes, including allowing the city to defer some pension contributions and delay other costs."
Begging Albany for a bailout is understanding economics? What am I missing here?
🚨Zohran Mamdani’s Socialist Miracle Exposed:🚨
“Socialists just solved years of Capitalist mismanagement!”
Reality check: NYC got an $8 BILLION bailout from the State of New York… plus deferred pension payments to kick the can down the road.
Hey Zohran — quick question: What country has socialism ever actually solved the problems of capitalism? Name one success story that didn’t end in shortages, collapse, or massive taxpayer bailouts.
This isn’t fixing anything — it’s the same old socialist grift with other people’s money. Bold-faced lying while New Yorkers pay the price.

This graph is the best defense of capitalism
> population grows dramatically
> poverty falls off a cliff
If you believe in a fixed pie this is impossible.
Capitalism makes the pie bigger
It incentivized massive jumps forward in food production, medicine, housing, transportation, etc
Not a perfect system but the US flavor of free market innovation is by far the best thing to happen to humanity in 2000 years
