There are people still using VMWare?!?!? And their main issue is COST, rather than the fact that VMWare is like a thousand years old?

People don't read a lot of things that they agree to, especially if it's 20,000 words in a postage stamp-sized text box on the new toy they just turned on. However, anybody who's not an idiot realizes that most everything in an agreement that they haven't read is against their interests, and plans accordingly. I personally always look for binding arbitration agreements and make sure to opt out of those whenever possible.

Oddly enough, the Anthropic TOS and privacy policy actually aren't all that obtuse and can be skimmed in a few minutes. They make it clear that they'll be looking for problems with what you upload and what kinds of problems those might be. Like I said, you can easily avoid all that by using a paper notebook for your diary.

You don't know him and don't know he's a sociopath.

However, the people who do know him say he's a sociopath, so they probably know.

If you look at Anthropic's terms of service and privacy policy, it clearly states that they can look at your content in order to enforce their usage policy. You have to agree to this when you set up an account or use their service. Given that this is an AI company, you can bet your content will be screened for violations more efficiently than if humans were involved at every step.

If she really didn't mean for anyone else to view it, she would have scribbled it down in a notebook instead of uploading into a cloud owned and policed by strangers and their robots.

I mean the software is impressive and all, but since when is someone with a user ID in the 400,000s a long-time reader?

It's a paper copy of underground utility records and a backhoe.

"I forget what they call it"

I think a lot of them are freaking out about how to keep their servants and security loyal in the bunkers. Your bunker seems like a great idea until your head of security starts cutting off your fingers and won't stop until you give him all the codes and combinations to the safe.

We've lost half the world's corals in 50 years.

That's actually a right-wing myth. The government never "ordered" them to do that. They did it out of greed.

Oops.

Everything you said is correct except the penguin thing. Some penguin species are dependent on sea ice, and they have been declining because of that.

Arctic summer ice is down 50% in only like 50 years. Most of the historic Mt. Kilimanjro snow cover is gone. The predictions are coming through.

You're a liar, of course, when you exaggerate what those predictions were. But you're lying out of fear and anger because you know you have been wrong, that it's getting clearer that you've been wrong, and you know it's eventually going to be so clear that even the mentally deranged in this country who don't believe in climate change will finally realize they're wrong. And it will happen soon enough that you will still be around and people you know will remember how stupid you were.

Probably the next code that it outputs will be:

Noise, higher electricity and power bills.
