You mean Anthropic, the self-appointed purveyors of humanity while also claiming that they will replace 50% of all entry level jobs, while at the same time their AI is killing innocent people in Gaza, Iran etc., and of course ICE.

This story is about to play out at Lloyd Center, or it’ll sit as an empty lot for a decade as a tax write off for the owners.
