Claude is not an ethical choice. It is part of the war machine and may have been responsible for many deaths. Amodei follows Sam Altman’s playbook, of constant hype and overpromising (on AGI), and the LLM is illegally trained on copyrighted content. garymarcus.substack.com/p/there-are-...

Have we heard this before if you write ‘social media’ in stead of chatbots: ‘Generative A.I. chatbots are going down conspiratorial rabbit holes and endorsing wild, mystical belief systems.’ www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/t...

Yoshua Bengio is launching a new nonprofit lab to make AI systems act less like humans. Designing Generative AI as humans is manipulative and unethical. They are machines and should look like, talk like and act like machines www.axios.com/2025/06/03/y...
