it’s exhausting, as it’s created to be; it also means that i, attempting to be discerning, am much more apt to share things i feel confident about based on my own education, but folks shouldn’t have to be years-worth of confident in a subject matter to feel as though they can trust something 😮💨

Claude cannot actually feel, it can't think, it doesn't have opinions, it isn't self aware, it doesn't have context outside the immediate window you are using it with. By asking for its comment on war crimes you are legitimizing the idea that it can be used autonomously or for war at all. Stop it.
This is why my friends in Kyrgyzstan swap out Jamilla for Dzamilla constantly

I think a core belief I have, one that gets me out of bed, is that nihilism is not inherent to people. it is instilled, and in this society it is cultivated through the daily plethora of a thousand indignities, big and small, direct and indirect, that living under a late capitalist system causes
