On Bernie vs Claude
I just watched Bernie vs Claude (9 min, youtube) and I have thoughts:
- This is pure vintage Black Mirror stuff, down to the eerie music, the washed in blue shots, had to do a double take to check if it is actually real - and it is!
- Seeing a US Senator sitting in silence, in an empty room1 to AI sycophantic slop is the best illustration of how cooked the political process is
- Anthropic just got a free (?) potshot at OpenAI
- There needs to be some kind of retirement age for public office, this is frankly embarrassing.
And man, what is it with this obsession about drop ceilings in America!?↩
