I feel like that's exactly what they're advertising but in a coded way

Here's the report for more detail. Key takeaways:
- growth of AI-generated articles actually has plateaued in the last 12 months
- probably no humans read them
- this doesn't account for articles attributed to humans that made heavy use of AI

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

"Almost rotten" is a wild overstatement. Freckled bananas are in their prime, just like you

One of the posts that got me flamed back in the old place was when I said I didn’t fetishise books as objects and wasn’t bothered if their owners wanted to rip them in half to make their baggage lighter or chuck them in the recycling once they’ve read them or whatever. Some people went ballistic
nick-pettigrew.bsky.social
The veneration of Books As Objects misses the point entirely. If you're reading a book, turn the corners down, break the spine, spill soup on it. It's your book, go nuts. A pristine, unread book is a tragedy in a way that a beloved, much-read book that looks like the dog's been at it could never be.

DON'T DONATE YOUR BOOKS TO THE LIBRARY. THEY 100% DON'T WANT THEM AND YOU'RE JUST ANNOYING THE LIBRARY STAFF

By the morals of their times,

Slavers were hated by those they enslaved
Rapists by those who they raped
Murderers by the survivors

The morals of the past are the same as today. Assholes are assholes

Sam Altman went from “AI will cure cancer" to "ChatGPT porn" in less than a month
ChatGPT boss predicts when AI could cure cancer We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

And their freak imperialism over random countries too. I recently tried to help someone at work print some Philippines legal docs that needed to be in US-Letter. I had to tell them it was impossible, and scaled them to fit A4 and hoped they would be acceptable.

A4 is a human right!

This is fucking insane. I know we have other stuff on but I feel like this is something the UN could sort out if they put their minds to it.

I think every time google maps has taken me to a busy right turn with no lights I've just said no thanks and just turned left instead. I'd rather get lost!

This prompt creates unwarranted confidence. You can't eliminate hallucinations. It might flag one thing and confidently invent three others that seem plausible. Dangerous for high stakes data.

Human verification is more important than prompting technique when it comes to LLMs and data.

As a shit driver I would appreciate "least stressful route" being a navigation option. Minimise lane changes, merges, right turns without traffic lights, roundabouts with more than one lane, etc
