You could write precisely this post about lasers too! Why does anime feature the beams of light visible along the entire path instead of just at the end points? It's amusing that the explanation is almost identical.
Reminds me the Calvin and Hobbes strip:
I imagine bugs and girls have a dim perception that nature played a cruel trick on them, but they lack the intelligence to really comprehend the magnitude of it.
Anthropic doesn't want other people training AI models at all, and are quite open about this fact, blocking its rivals OpenAI and xAI from using its services. Claude's refusals to assist with this task that you note here seem to reflect this, though you might still be able to jailbreak this by asking for a computer program to do the task – I believe that same trick used to work with things like making meth or whatever. The only "Safety" considerations here are to Anthropic's market dominance.

Yes. Frankly, you could get that on r/science.
political maneuvering that should not be taken literally.
Or perhaps it's more like the story of the Jews reading the Stürmer because only there do they control the world: they want it not to be business-as-usual, for him to raze the institutions ("Drain the Swamp"), subdue their enemies both foreign and domestic, etc., and generally to serve as the Flail of God, but they can see it plainly ain't happening, though it's sometimes still fun to LARP as though it were.
There is an xkcd comic, xkcd: 1122 (and an updated xkcd: 2383), about how every presidential election is unprecedented in some way. The same is true of presidential administrations and presidents themselves: you can always construct some metric by which they are unusual or unique. It may be more useful to simply criticize whatever you think is bad, even if, say, Lincoln, either Roosevelt, Kennedy, or whoever did something similar but worse.
To actually read, probably not, but to buy or pay for subscriptions to them might be worth doing: it's probably the best way to sustainably ensure the existence of journalism as an industry, which you might be incentivized to do if you think it'll hurt society at large more than you, so you're relatively better off, much like how you would pump raw sewage into the city's water supply after securing your own independent sources of freshwater, or iocaine powder into the air vents after building up immunity.
