Artificial intelligence startup Anthropic is introducing its first smartphone app
— an indication that the company is pushing more aggressively to make its #Claude chatbot available to users no matter where they are.
San Francisco-based Anthropic said the new iPhone app is available for free and paid users of Claude starting Wednesday,
and conversations will synchronize with those conducted via the web-based version of the chatbot.
The app will also be able to analyze pictures
— such as from photos users take
— which enables the chatbot to perform tasks like image recognition.
Think spotting a specific kind of finch at a bird feeder. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-01/ai-startup-anthropic-debuts-claude-chatbot-as-an-iphone-app
Faith schools in England will no longer have to offer up to half of their places to children who don’t belong to their religion, under changes to state school admissions rules sneakily announced by the government, after serious lobbying by the Catholic Church.
I propose, therefore, that the 100% funding they get from the state is also scrapped. I don't object to faith schools. I do object to them being funded by the state. #Education#FaithSchools
Hey, American college students, it would be helpful for the U.S., the world, Palestinians, and Israelis, if you would turn your attention to defeating Donald Trump in November. Read about his fascist plans in this recent extended interview with him. https://time.com/6972021/donald-trump-2024-election-interview/
Reminder that Trump's plans for converting American democracy into a fascist oligarchy for the richest corporations on the planer, its funded by those same corporations.
Tucker Carlson normalizes Putin by interviewing him in Moscow.
Marjorie Taylor Greene says Putin "protects Christians".
And Trump says, he has a "great relationship" with Putin.
When Denmark was occupied by the Nazis, opportunists tried to normalize them too. After the war, 13,000 collaborators were sentenced, and ironically, many were placed in the Frøslev prison, built by the Nazis.
46 were executed.
I wonder what will happen, when everything falls apart for the collaborators of our time.
Republican megadonors are doing all they can to take power permanently in hopes of never being held to account.
They fund the GOP to build a coalition with Putin to end American democracy.

The connections, finances, & contacts of these billionaires with Russia need examination as much as Trump, Tucker Carlson, #MadMarjorie, Mike Johnson, Rand Paul, Matt Gaetz, and #MoscowMitch
Idle Thought: If the feds aren't legally monitoring the activities of The Mango Mussolini's Sedition Club, they're doing a grave disservice to the nation.
Colin Jost: "Can we just acknowledge how refreshing it is to see a president of the United States at an event that doesn't begin with a bailiff saying 'all rise'?"
Hypothetically say my contract is to look up the final daily price for a stock & send it for analysis.
Suddenly, Google stops showing Bloomberg as the top result because Bloomberg stops paying Google for SEO.
Searches for the Bloomberg web site fail to appear in the 1st 100 pages of results.
Allowing members of Congress who were part of Trump’s armed insurrection to remain in Congress is about as insane as allowing terrorists to return to work in the same building they tried to blow up.
Who knew killing puppies and tossing them into a gravel pit was a constituency worth campaigning for? I'm sure we'll get polling on this in short order.
A little reminder for all those who, strangely enough, always think it’s a good idea to interview him: Bill Barr was the Attorney General Donald Trump wanted because Jeff Sessions wasn’t servile enough.
His toot has been living rent-free in my head ever since.
I had ranted a few times before how "content" is a corporate-y way to devalue art. How "user-generated content" is a term designed to make it easier to deny the significance (not just monetary) of the amazing stuff people create online.
Contrasting this with "AI art" is jarring, and spot-on. 👀
Kristi Noem has survived a infidelity scandal, a nepotism scandal, a superspreader pandemic event scandal, the misuse of the National guard scandal, civil rights violations scandals, and campaign finance scandals.
Fascist movements are extractive by their very nature. It's a system designed to steal the assets of the many and place them in the hands of the favored few.
Fascism doesn't grow economies, improve the quality of human life, or innovate.
The US Constitution and common law are rooted in pre-18th century English legal jurisprudence and traditions.
And the "presidential immunity" bullshit is an attempt to rewind the clock to before 1649, when Parliament got fed up with the King's bullshit, put him on trial, and beheaded him.
Y'all: Trump wants to revive the divine right of kings.
You know who pulled the German equivalent of that stunt? Hitler.
(I will summarily block anyone who raises Godwin's law.)
When billionaires fund anti-democracy movements around the globe in response to climate action, it's appropriate to add taxation to billionaires in response.
When billionaires have less free cash, they have less money to spend on far-right political parties, anti-democracy media outlets like Fox News, and on buying decisions from publicly corrupt Supreme Court Justices.
Like anything related to climate action, taxes are only part of a solution.
The survival of democracy is one aspect. The legislation & agency support for the EPA is also part of a solution. Ending tax subsidies & access to public lands.
People voluntarily reducing their fossil fuel use is part of it.
Listening to that exchange with Trump’s lawyer about the crimes a president should be able to commit with total immunity, and he says MURDER and COUPS could be “official acts” and warrant immunity even after leaving office, and I’m getting that stuck in a really bad timeline feeling again.
Republicans and Fox News were paid to wage a malign influence campaign promoting the concepts of "let grannie die", "covid only affects POC", snake oil treatments, sacrificial labor, "bailouts for corporations, not people".
