Are you implying that Anthropic is using ChatGPT internally?

I don't think that's AI. It looks more like crappy photoshop.

> I grew up in evangelical christianity, and to them the end of the world is just around the corner

I grew up in evangelical Christianity, I'm still an evangelical Christian, and you're wrong to paint with a broad brush like that. Are there evangelicals that are millenarian? Yep, of course.

But that is not my experience across multiple evangelical churches across decades.

Sure, but just like with cars, e-bikes being more dangerous doesn't mean cyclists also don't need to have rules to follow.

> “This is all about cyclists on motorised bicycles, so I should think you would do something about motorised cyclists. Make a rule for them and not for all cyclists.”

There's a certain sub strain of cyclists that want absolutely no rules for them.

In a just world, cyclists would have more freedom than cars, but pedestrians would have most of all. But walking through European cities with large cycling cultures can be dangerous, too, especially for children and the elderly. Too often, cyclists will completely ignore stop signs and stop lights, or go at full speed on the sidewalks.

And because I know someone is going to retort that car drivers break traffic laws, too: drivers acting dangerously shouldn't excuse cyclists.

The subscription is for the phone service. Though it is true that you can only use this with their service.

The hunt for LLM writing is almost as boring as LLM writing itself.

I find it fascinating that in less than a decade "bro" somehow turned into a very specific meathead or stoner stereotype, to now include everyone from Sam Altman to your local girlboss marketer.

I've taken plenty of taxis in both NYC and Texas, and pre-Uber they were terrible in both. Calling a taxi in Austin meant a 50% chance that it would get there on time, or you'd wait 30 minutes. Calling back didn't help, you would just get the dispatcher saying, "Well, I guess it's not coming then, huh?"

The Pope is selected by the College of Cardinals. The joke is a play on "cardinality."

Fair enough, I withdraw the "rooting for" comment. More accurate to say that you shouldn't be actively annoyed at the protagonist.

You're jumping to some wild conclusions there. This isn't about wokism (if you know the author, that would be clear) or political correctness.

It's more: wow these guys are jerks, and they get on my nerves.

A protagonist doesn't need to be perfect. But, ultimately, you should be rooting for him.
