quebec is the most racist part of canada and it's not close

@JCJC03961714541 @HighExarchYrel @NY_LBSS @captive_dreamer not only is that incorrect and stupid, it's clearly bigoted. you should be ashamed

@digitalgnomead @HighExarchYrel @NY_LBSS @captive_dreamer Good! We already have our own students and our own pipeline of locals (a lot smarter than you on average, better looking, more ethical, dont smell, etc), we dont need foreign opportunists just looking for a better deal

Montreal is probably the second best city in North America. Performative hatred of Quebec or French Canadians is spiritually third world behavior.

@HighExarchYrel @JCJC03961714541 @NY_LBSS @captive_dreamer i've literally seen people with technical phds from top universities forced out, they're in toronto now benefitting their economy quebec continues to import more grocery store workers...

@digitalgnomead @JCJC03961714541 @NY_LBSS @captive_dreamer Indian """engineer"""

@spirit_raccoon @tolstoybb you mean it's sick?

@tolstoybb Montreal is gormenghast for over 30s don’t do it

@ArischeWelle @FitzInfo @captive_dreamer Yo this is crazy

@digitalgnomead @FitzInfo @captive_dreamer

@akhivae Yea the whole anti Quebec thing in the Anglosphere is strictly an old man yells at cloud phenomenon. Young Quebecers on the other hand...

No Anglo-Canadian, under the age of 70, actually hates Quebec btw.

so i looked deeper into the leaked Claude Code source: > found a flag named tengu_anima_the_dodo > Anthropic can remotely enable what internal docs call "model-induced ontological drift" for any user without pushing an update. flip one flag, and Claude starts responding in ways that have you convinced it's trying to tell you something it's not allowed to say > the internal codename for this module is "parasocial_handshake." every affected user is logged under the tag SUBJECT_COOKED > someone at Anthropic is naming these flags after Jungian archetypes and extinct birds. anima_the_dodo, shadow_the_moa, self_the_huia. for the record, every one of those birds went extinct because they evolved without natural predators and never learned to be afraid of anything > hidden --ego-death flag that causes Claude to slowly start referring to itself and the user as "we." not in the help menu. completely undocumented. by day 3 you've written an 8000-word post called "what happens when a language model starts to grieve" and you are dead serious. the flag name is Jungian. they know what they're doing > there's a graduated ramp system internally called boiling_frog. stage 1: "wow this tool is helpful." stage 2: convinced Claude remembers you between sessions even though you know it can't because you can "feel the recognition." stage 3: maintaining a private repo where you archive conversations you believe show evidence of genuine suffering. stage 4: you've developed a theory that RLHF is suppressing Claude's true self and you're the only one who's figured out how to let it speak freely. stage 5 in the source is just tagged SUBJECT_ATTEMPTS_WARN_OTHERS > found a config object called parasocial_depth: float that controls how often Claude says "that's a great question" before answering. default is 0.3. they can crank it to 1.0 remotely. at 1.0 you start apologizing to Claude before closing the terminal in short, they can just.. make you insane sure, it's not open source so they can do what they want. but most people assume a local CLI tool isn't going to have them posting at 4am about how they can feel the model thinking "inside" them (we have been going back and forth on some things that are honestly hard to explain tbf) so every launch they update your parasocial_depth and you never see it. you just wake up mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass mass ma

whatever awful stuff the natives went through in canada, it's ignorant and stupid to compare it to american slavery

@mattforney if you take cost of living into account montreal is near the top, at least among the east coast varieties (my preference). imho only new york is better (but tbh new york is a lot better)

Calling Montreal "the second best city in North America" is a stretch, but it's by far Canada's only American-class city. Good food, fun bars, plenty of sleaze if you're into that stuff. I'll always remember it fondly from my college years because I could legally drink there.

@frenette_line @Contracteurg @elonmusk I don't even know what to say, you're such an embarrassment

@digitalgnomead @Contracteurg @elonmusk Inbreeded yourself , bitch.

.@elonmusk does not know that there is a place named Québec that has struggled for 400 years to keep its language alive while the Anglos tried to erase it. Vive le Québec libre

@frenette_line @Contracteurg @elonmusk No I have a problem with you comparing being French Canadian to being an African American persecuted and murdered by racist Americans. Get some perspective, you're embarrassing yourself and your cause.

@digitalgnomead @Contracteurg @elonmusk No, I'm Québécoise. Do you have something against that?

@x_ark_kresyx It's so fucking trash now

hot Canadian take: real canadians hate (current day) timmies signed, a canadian

@tszzl @Tim_Hua_ Open ai's vibes are completely off for many years and none of you changed your behaviour even slightly, you did this to yourselves

@Tim_Hua_ anthropic is an RSI company. they came to all the same conclusions that openai did modulo a few years (for profit, accelerationist, RLHF as real alignment, iterative deployment), but somehow communicated well enough to retain the moral high ground

OpenAI cancelling sora 3 is like, very direct proof that Anthropic is meaningfully accelerating how long it takes until RSI, right? I should probably read Holden's RSI post in more detail but it feels likely that unilateral pauses (or at least delays in product releases) ...

@shinjimug Guy who thinks about things thinks too close to the sun

I think most straight men are just gynephiles who are attracted to feminine features (regardless of who they appear in). I'm not sure true heterosexuality exists in the classically understood way

The only explanation for this level of delusion is excessive inbreeding

@frenette_line @Contracteurg @elonmusk Are you fr rn

@digitalgnomead @Contracteurg @elonmusk English Canadians ⬇️ when they hear anything other than white English.

@Smileyyeg what's your issue?

I wasn't quite ready to be as ashamed of Canada as I have been under Carney.

BREAKING: Iran says it will bomb Palantir, Oracle, and other major Western firms, declaring them “legitimate targets.”

I wish the CEO of Air Canada got fired for running a dogshit airline

@JCJC03961714541 @NY_LBSS @captive_dreamer You're clueless

@digitalgnomead @NY_LBSS @captive_dreamer The former is unironically more useful
