I was never in fact asked to leave, I just left

I posted twice after that, once to say it wasn't me who first posted Roko's basilisk to RationalWiki and once to suggest that organising a wikipedia shilling effort would not work out well for them

EDIT: no wait I didn't post about Roko's basilisk? I just edited the wiki entry with the correct cite

you'll get 10,000 records tagged "Romanian shoegaze" and it'll all sound like the y2k emo indie that Xfm rejected

I doubt every word of this. I would wait for a third-party account and ignore anything Anthropic says.

Mostly they just use Suno, and Suno seems to be a big rigged demo that has training per genre, so you get similar tunes and similar lyrics all the time.

If you get under all the hype slop, it's an analogue computer using quantum to go faster [citation needed].

This can allegedly be used to do AI computations (so matrix math?) with lower energy.

At least they don't claim to be doing qubits.

Extropic have been burning their runway, this is 100% an investor pitch. "We have a thing! please give us more money? we swear we're still Nazis"
