"Anthropic’s new AI model turns to blackmail when engineers try to take it offline"

@bureaucatliu The Right? on the other hand is sneakier, allowing the speaker to keep moving, presuming assent as they go. Best deployed in a podcast or long interview where the speaker may go on uninterrupted.

Although I don't hear the word in my professional world as much as Ben Fong does, there is something about enforced, coerced blackmailed consensus in liberal spaces that seems right, right?

@bureaucatliu I find the "Look, man" to be a blunter instrument, using irritation with the questioner to filibuster the discussion. It's best deployed in a short interview like on a Sunday show.

@bureaucatliu Here's a Meet The Press episode with the Looks clipped from 2014, with both right and left offenders. soundcloud.com/pete-davis-5/l…

@bureaucatliu It's similar to the "Look," tic which goes at the beginning of a statement, signaling that the speaker knows more than the listener so just "hold your horses while I give you the straight dope, little fella."
English

@bureaucatliu You'll find it in most every podast, Ted Talk or corporate speech from a staff meeting to an annual shareholder meeting, left or right. Another liberal example, but I clipped a random episode of Vox's The Weeds podcast years ago for this reason: soundcloud.com/pete-davis-5/r…

@bureaucatliu This is undeniably a thing, but I'm not so sure I agree 100% with your policework in attributing it to (political) liberals. The "right?" tic is a way to assert agreement and move on, and it's a rhetorial tactic for both right and left, though the Jen Psaki example is great.

I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.
In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.
Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together.
