British historian, Professor of Global History at the University of Oxford; author of The Silk Roads and The Earth Transformed.
I’ve written about Claude, how’s it’s been used around the world and why the shrill warnings about the end of humanity are (perhaps) not quite all they seem Quoting @unherd Claude: tyranny’s little helper, by @peterfrankopan The Houthis — or their affiliates or hired helpers — effectively used Claude Code as a substitute for software engineers, getting it to help develop guidance, navigation and control systems; integrate an open-source autopilot into a flight compute… Anthropic Related

Feels like half of my days are spent me telling Claude how fucking dumb it is and it simply responding "Fair." and then continuing to be dumb. Anthropic Related

Their words
It is a quick read, an excellent book whose main virtue is not, in my opinion, direct analogy with the World War I, but a treatment of how in a multipolar world relatively small international events, misunderstandings, idiosyncratic fits of leaders, “hubris and fear” (as Westad often writes), resentment of the elite and of the public prodded by the media, can produce colossal miscalculations which then produce even more colossal wars and, in the era of the weapons of mass destruction, may end the civilization.

Their words
The world would be so fucking boring if we constantly sought 100% compatibility in our opinions and in our politics. And when it comes to my code generator, which is what Claude is, I don't need it to share all my politics.

Endless execution The age of agents has brought us endless execution. Every idea, every hunch, every experiment is now within immediate reach. For people with endless ideas, this is nirvana. It's also the most fucking sci-fi thing I've e…

Hosts the Lex Fridman Podcast — long, unhurried conversations with scientists, engineers and public figures. Several of the interviews quoted elsewhere on this site are episodes of it.
This life is fucking amazing. I'm so grateful to be alive, with all of you on this miracle of a planet. Oh and I'm sorry if I fuck things up sometimes. I'm a flawed human. But I promise to do whatever I can to try to add some more understanding and love to this world. After the world leader convos I get attacked intensely by all sides, and many disparate online communities. It has led to some really low points for me mentally. But I don't matter. I'm listening. I'll do better. And I'll try to find the strength to do more of them, always with rigor and backbone, seeking to truly understand. An… Related

Software engineer who worked on Chrome and Polymer at Google, and writes about the web, emoji and Elm at meowni.ca.
I think the thing that shocks/scares me the most isn’t that there’s white supremacists amongst my peers, it’s that they’ve become so comfortable with it that they’re ok suggesting lynching in a public forum, for the world to see. This is the worst fucking timeline. Quoting @polotek Holy shit. I used to work with this woman. I'll repeat that. I used to work in the same office with this white woman who is thinking "I wish we could go back to vigilante groups that could just go around hanging people." Related

Holy fucking shit, this wasn’t actually on my bingo card for “ways we’re gonna kill women after we let Roe v Wade slide” Quoting @QasimRashid TWENTY ONE (21) Republicans in South Carolina sponsor bill to execute women who seek an abortion. It defines a fertilized egg as a human & appears to list no exceptions. Executing women is not fringe GOP. It’s your horrifically mainstream “pro life” GOP. Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
