Anthropic researcher's greentext self-own: mocking a blinker that was already his own
granawkins · x · 2026-09-05
Anthropic researcher Granville Watkins posted a greentext-style self-own: after mentally berating the driver ahead for driving with his blinker on — spiraling into musings about intelligence at scale and eugenics — he pulls up to an intersection, looks down to signal, and realizes his own blinker was already on. A sharp joke about cognitive bias that resonated in the AI community.
