Copilot lied to me last week. I asked it to format a table in PowerPoint. It took too long, hung, and then I formatted the table myself. It then returned a list of the steps I typed myself and said it took the steps.

Unbelievably irritating.

Claude can barely manage accurate calendar appointments and you want to turn it loose on human lives?

My AI just corrected typos that didn't exist in my original prompt. I thought I was going crazy. It printed the same word twice and when I called it out for its "correction" it said I had type the word missing an e. Going up to the prompt it showed no typo or missing letters.

It did say sorry, so I guess it can write an apology poem as a eulogy?

An AI jihad?

My name alone doesn't pull them up but several books where I'm listed as second, third, or fourth author do show up when I search under the first author's name. For at least two of these books the authors were listed alphabetically and I thought the copyright was shared equally. I still receive royalties.

I didn't receive any notice.

Yeah but you're gonna be a Mentat so run along now. You have your backup plan.

This was predictable.

Move fast and break everything.

Good job, tech bros!

Anthropic (Claude AI) announces that its "safety" promise was a lie.

The announcement comes shortly after Department of Defense announced that it was using Claude for war, violating Anthropic's safety promise.
