I always try to mention Melissa Barrera the past two years because she was the first celebrity casualty for simply speaking out against genocide.
She shared an article by a scholar and that was enough to cancel her.
I hope people give her the spotlight and some love.

I cannot repeat this enough. I'm seeing "haha, starched shirt consultants" takes on the Anthropic announcement of the Accenture embed, BUT Accenture acquired 'Faculty' in January, which originated as 'ASI Data Science' founded with financial backing from Jaan Tallinn. Just as like-minded as METR.
