Anthropic getting mad at Deepseek over “theft”

Look guys, either everything is up for grabs, or it’s not, you can’t just change your mind when it’s convenient to you

I’m really hung-up on Backrooms found footage 2 and 3.

In #2, the girl who fell in (into the complex) was chased around by the bacteria (possibly?) entity, and by the end, the walls start flashing green, signifying that the area where she’s standing is changing. The same way it’s depicted in the new movie trailer.

What happens if you’re standing in a place that’s changing in the Backrooms? Did she die?? Will we find out, ever??

Assuming that, because Async found her footage, she might be dead?

And then found footage #3, he eventually becomes delirious, isn’t killed by anyone or anything, but records a “goodbye” of sorts, and then the camera’s battery dies.

You can also assume, that because Async found his footage, he might be dead.

BUT!

I’ve always, always assumed that if you don’t see someone die on camera, they’re not dead yet. And I assume that Kane is working with those same principles

Was wondering how the hell I was seeing Threads accounts in one of my feeds here in Phanpy, considering Meta currently /does not/ federate with GoToSocial instances (which is fine by me lol), and remembered my “federated” feed is just a Mastodon instance I’m adjacent to

Still a bit jarring though

seeing people elsewhere comment on the Backrooms movie trailer like, “where’s the VHS render” and “how is this guy traveling in and out of the Backrooms” and it makes me realize either I know way too much about Backrooms lore, or something else is wrong

Just saw someone say that making spelling mistakes and grammatical errors is a sign you’re reading something online written by a human lol

This is even worse than the “em dashes mean AI” thing

Guys, there’s a point where AI psychosis makes a full circle

I’ve had scammers trying to get past authentication on my Microsoft account for well over a year now and I’m going to assume they’re using bots, because I’ve changed my password, I never open the authentication app, but they keep on trying

I ain’t got anything in there but some 2012 early transition photos, so

As someone who has first-hand experience watching OpenClaw be launched, and the grifters pushing it on corporate social media, and also briefly using it myself

It’s a vibe-coded disaster full of security holes, as well. And when I say “vibe coded,” I mean the developer that Sam Altman called a genius, has numerous agents open at all times opening thousands of PRs per day on the OpenClaw github

I pointed out to him that this is dangerous and part of the reason why millions of API keys have been leaked to hackers and he blocked me from being able to speak to him

Now that I have bots automating posts for me on the corporate socials, I’m going to try and post on this server that I am paying for, more often lol I don’t know if these algorithms on these corpo sites will ever pay me, and it feels futile to try because I have no following, anywhere

but …

I’m trying not to get too hyped about the Backrooms movie, because it’s still months and months out, but I was kinda hoping to see the Creep actor in this teaser

Speaking of AI, if you leverage its uncanny and horrifying original nature, you can make some truly horrible things
