”’You are feeding them sludge,’ I say, my voice rising. ’And because they are starving, they eat it. And then you tell them sludge is what food tastes like.’”
I want this quote on a t-shirt.
”’[…] I want to configure your router to sinkhole every request to OpenAI, Claude, Anthropic, all of them. If they try to connect, I want the browser to redirect to an HTML page that has a very judgmental cat purring at you.’”
