As Anthropic prepares to IPO for over $1 trillion, a reminder of Dario Amodei’s words shortly after founding the company:
“Distributed human labor is being used to train AI models by large, centralized actors, who concentrate the resulting profits while in the long run making the human labor obsolete.”
In other words, this IPO will be built off the backs of the world’s creatives - who will get nothing out of it except obsolescence.
It is a totally unjust transfer of wealth and opportunity from artists, writers, musicians & other creatives to a tiny tech elite.
I hope it is remembered as such.
(this quote is from a document he wrote that was unsealed in Bartz v. Anthropic)

There is something really concerning (and disappointing) going on in the US right now.
A dangerous and preventable situation.
Let me explain.

En France, des livreurs Uber Eats s’organisent pour refuser collectivement les courses les moins rémunérées, en utilisant plusieurs téléphones.
Une stratégie qui pousse l’algorithme à augmenter les tarifs jusqu’à atteindre 15 € ou plus par livraison. 😳

This is NOT a concert.
This is NOT a festival.
This is Gaza today.
Tens of thousands of starving people running for a bag of flour 💔
This is what forced starvation looks like.
These criminals are OVERJOYED to gamble with our cash, snowball society into crisis, and then steal our livelihoods when it all blows up
The system is the problem. We need to build alternative economies, infrastructure, and institutions so these parasites only destroy themselves
"Speculative data center debt is being repackaged and sold to pension and retirement funds, university endowments, and other institutional investors in a manner eerily reminiscent of the subprime bubble."

AirFanta 5Pro Officially Launched: Two Years in the Making, Fully Evolved
We are excited to announce the launch of our new air purifier, the AirFanta 5Pro, following two years of design and manufacturing.
The 5Pro has been redesigned based on the structure of the 3Pro, with improvements across the board: it looks better and is easier to install.
In terms of performance, the CADR remains outstanding. Measured in an AHAM-certified laboratory, the results are as follows:
PM2.5: 393 CFM
SMOKE: 379 CFM
DUST: 408 CFM
Pollen: >450 CFM
We are also applying for AHAM and ENERGY STAR certification.
In addition, the 5Pro now features a PM2.5 sensor and display, as well as an Auto mode. When disassembled, it can still fit into a 20-inch suitcase, making it easy to carry and store.
For purchase links and more information, please click the link below:

It is currently available for purchase in the United States, Canada, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, and countries across East Asia and Southeast Asia.
