I knew a guy in high school that told girls they shouldn't date him because his dick was so big it would hurt them. You can wax philosophical on his motives if you'd like, but spoiler alert - his dick wasn't big.
That's exactly what I think is happening. Remember a few months ago anthropic saying mythos is too dangerous to release until the government as the idiots they are starting believing them and banned them from exporting it, therefore losing them money. Very quickly they came up with fable (ironic name isn't it) a week or two later saying it's got the proper safeguards now. Now they're all trying this marketing strategy asking the gov to regulate them, seemingly because they're dangerous and not because they're getting diminishing returns and feel threatened by the chinese competition
Your username with that conclusion paints a very funny picture.
Same thought. Pretty clear indication of how they knew it was a lie. :D
Did it work?
What's funny about this comment is that I have you tagged as "doesn't like mini game boys" because of a post you made some time ago (referencing those portable retro gaming handhelds that have become so popular lately).
"He told everyone his shlong was huge." "Did it work?" "Naw, his schlong was actually small." "Damn, I hate mini-game boys."
Strong doubt.
High school girls don't want that. They don't want big dicks, or to talk to guys who brag about their dicks, or show their dicks, or send pictures of their dicks. Gooner graduated a virgin.
I'm going to take a guess that it prob worked once, then word got around he was exaggerating.
Once is a win...
I mean there are people eating up this Anthropic crap.
That is... Certainly a strategy of all time
