Claude's Personality Changes Depending on the Model—And the Language You Speak
According to new Anthropic research, Claude consistently expresses different values across models and languages.

In the broad and final sense all institutions are educational in the
sense that they operate to form the attitudes, dispositions, abilities
and disabilities that constitute a concrete personality...Whether this
educative process is carried on in a predominantly democratic or non-
democratic way becomes, therefore, a question of transcendent importance
not only for education itself but for its final effect upon all the
interests and activities of a society that i…

Former Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene
took to X on Saturday, August 1,
claiming that she and a number of fellow conservative allies had thrown their support behind Donald Trump on the basis of an America First agenda
— one she says he has since abandoned.
"We said no more foreign wars,
and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise.
But he's betrayed us all,"
MTG wrote in the Instagram post.

How to spot a psychopath
"Mitchell built a template of 20 attributes, divided into four clusters, and 25 tactics that would identify a high-functioning persistent predatory personality type. Cluster one includes a need for control; a grandiose sense of self; pathological inner response to challenge; vengefulness; refusal to compromise. Cluster two includes being predatory or exploitative; sadistic and cruel; having a low regard for laws, agreements, social and moral codes; no boundarie…

Was Misik da ausgegraben hat, hätte m.E. seit mindestens 25 Jahren ein Leitfaden für progressive Politik sein müssen.

Like Narcissus, the mythical figure who gave name to Trump’s most prominent personality flaw,
the president became fixated on the famous Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool,
hoping to repaint it so that it mirrored his imagined brilliance.
Instead, the algae-ridden water has turned into an on-the-nose metaphor for his own decrepitude,
as tourists have begun swarming it so they can mock this totem of Trump’s failures.

Why MAGA buys Trump’s Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool hoax
The GOP base would love to arrest people who laugh at them

“When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal.”
Former President Richard M. Nixon made that stunning statement to television personality David Frost in a May 1977 interview that reached an audience of 45 million.
Nixon’s quote is often cited to illustrate the epitome of his arrogance and blindness to the rule of law
— his confidence that his power rose to such heights that he possessed a presidential prerogative to redefine the law.
For nearly fifty …

At 27 pages into Gil Duršn’s new book “The Nerd Reich” I came full stop at this sentence:
“As many political schools of thought do, these technolibertarians make a philosophy out of a personality defect.”
Simply and elegantly stated. The various techno-optimistic philosophies running around Silicon Valley and the venture capital community are toxic and inhumane. We are desperately in need of a new tech manifesto that puts human wellbeing, acceptance, compassion and love as first principals. Why do we write code if not for this? The current direction of technology leadership has taken a wrong turn onto a dark and destructive path. This needs to change.
This is a great book so far. Highly recommend it.
