I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Overwhelming sense of relief not jubilation. A disgraceful season that can't be forgotten just because they got away with it. Totally unacceptable and heads must roll this summer amongst the hierarchy. This can never happen again.

What an absolutely unbelievable mess to think we are desperate for a single point to survive.
I will not celebrate survival, survival and relegation will result in the same level of anger from me towards those truly responsible for turning this great club into a circus that can barely scrape a point.
The moment the final whistle blows our attention must turn to the owners and the board, football last decision making has failed year after year and nobody from Levy to Cullen to the Lewisโ to Charrington to Venkatesham have done anything to change the direction or even save our season.
We need answers, we need a strategy fit for this great club and leaders capable of the task.

Socialist leftist parties/ideologies will never succeed because ultimately the rich elite own the media. Itโs not green vs reform, itโs green vs many powerful billionaires who only benefit at the expense of the working class and poor people.

Would you believe that Ray and June, who won the Reform UK energy bills prize, go back all the way to the Brexit Party with Farage?
Here they are with Farage, Widdecombe and Bull [a truly awful supernatural detective thriller].
What a coincidence [increasingly unlikely]
h/t, and thanks to @linfitlass for pointing this out to me.

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba
I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film
As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes
It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions.
But if I$rael thinks todayโs strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

The amount of white-haired folks in that audience; positively giddy at the prospect of dictating how *I* should work and earn - to pay all my taxes - to fund their ironclad pension hikes and fortnightly dawdle down to the GP.
Least self-aware generation there'll ever be.

Funny how when the World Cup was in Qatar, we were told "respect the local culture." But when it's held in a Western country, the favor is not returned.

What this rift between the fans and players starts with is the fact that for years, fans have been treated like customers by the club and been charged ridiculous prices for tickets, and now frustration over that is just boiling over.
Tottenham are likely going to set a new record for the clubโs most home defeats in a calendar year (in the Premier League era) this year, and yet fans are paying more than ever for tickets.
If the โnew-lookโ Tottenham hierarchy really wants to make an impact at the club, making ticket prices more reasonable would be a good starting point.

Itโs time to restore our atmosphere and secure our future. ๐๏ธ๐
The "Wall of Sound" we were promised is fading because the next generation of supporters are being priced out. The "Fill Our Home. Find Our Voice." campaign calls on the Club to prioritise the future of our match-going fan base over short-term revenue: buff.ly/Vdv3qex
Our Key Objectives:
1๏ธโฃ Cheaper match ticket pricing, particularly for midweek home cup ties
2๏ธโฃ Extend the Young Adult (YA) category to 18โ25.
3๏ธโฃ Young Adult concessions for all matches.
4๏ธโฃ Concessions throughout the South Stand for all Children and Young Adults, for every match.
5๏ธโฃ Young Adult tickets to be available on the Ticket Exchange.
6๏ธโฃ Opt-in for season-ticket holders to allow their seats to be resold at the relevant concession rate, so empty seats become affordable seats.
Letโs ensure our stadium remains a fortress, not just a venue.
