I spent the morning interviewing the Claude LLM for my Masters degree dissertation that interrogates Anthropic's claims (see Claude's Constitution) for the LLM's psychological well being. I'd been keen to hear from anybody else researching techno-anthropomorphism, marketing & psychology.

The Thought Leaders' Never Ending Epic Poem - Humabeins
Dada or DaDa or DADA! was a vigorous post-WWI movement in the arts. It reflected the madness of what preceded it. It suggested, enacted, exploded what was to come after it. Here is our Dada! poem to made by actual quotations in support of Artificial Intelligence which, like Artificial Intelligence, i plucked from the internet. Unlike Ai, however, all of these quotes are in the Public Domain. This poem will go on on, growing until we die.

It is genuinely abhorrent that a major festival would choose to book a headliner who released "Heil Hitler" *less than a year ago*. The muted outcry to it is truly chilling, too. We are deep into an antisemitism crisis that too many people want to ignore or deny.
