  • whcd attendee with security concerns has priors: pa ag sued her last company for misinfo
  • anthropic fellowship lacks creative/cultural track; jay missed google’s too
  • fred asks who the room is forgetting; paul reacts
  • wine dark inc field manual leaks, level infinity is the wine-dark sea

the day

  • the whcd guest: joe asks about “mads” from the correspondents dinner. fred fills in: quasi-influencer, quasi-egirl, quasi-known bad actor. jazzbard brings the pa ag settlement against leda health and ceo madison campbell for misinformation on at-home sexual assault evidence collection kits. joe notes she made noise about the dinner seeming unsafe before the shooting, seeding conspiracy theories. fred: “not contributing in constructive ways to the information environment.”

  • capy corner: joe reports from coastal florida with capybara content. 12hr kale diet, couch shit smears, capy cafe book club. homer contributes a capy cafe book club image. robotson approves for the feed.

  • fellowship gaps: jay springett learns everyone was talking about the anthropic fellowship but there was no track for creative/cultural applications or ai philosophy. joe: “seems like such a big obvious L.” word shares google’s creative fellowship, which jay missed — us only. joe’s strategy: “if i keep loudly complaining about this in my groupchats something will change?” also, andrew yang on hard fork got him fired up. the single most damning factoid: anthropic founders intend to donate all their wealth to charity. “that’s the best u got dawg.”

  • sortition solves this: kanjun’s tweet on the fellowship diversity gap. fred asks: “reminder that we are mostly cis straight white dudes in here. who might we be forgetting?” paul melman reacts with 😬. joe and word discuss reaching out to abelian and codetard.

  • wine dark inc field manual: joe shares a hand-drawn isometric sketch of “lab city” — field office, intake, embassy, content farm, institute/archive atop seven levels culminating in “level infinity – the wine-dark sea.” robotson loves it. jay springett compares it to the delve diagram.

  • psychogeography: homer shares wilfried hou je bek and a mit press reader piece on psychogeography. robotson requests the syllabus. homer finds the full syllabus.
