This is the most vile response possible. Sure our chatbot explained how to do it, encouraged him to hide it & reinforced his beliefs of worthlessness, but the suicidal teenager AGREED to the terms of use that promised he wouldn’t ask. What were we supposed to do? *Not* help him hurt himself?
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

The leftism leaving people's bodies like cartoon ghosts when people say "artists need to be paid" and "don't steal books."
i have never wanted to make a YouTube video before, but now i want to make one that's basically: Books Are Not Free Content For You, Stop Stealing From Authors, You Scabs.
we are not the enemy.
every dollar folks think they're taking from Amazon, they're taking from authors more.

So many people are self sabotaging by deskilling via this nonsense right now. Want an edge in 2027? Don’t build reliance on bad tools into your process in 2025.
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

What’s really going on with AI and jobs?
Record-breaking layoff reports, Amazon's mass firings, and a slump in entry level employment. Is AI behind it all?

Back from AdobeMAX. Short-ish thread on my experience.
Caught the AdobeMAX Keynote.
Their products are soon gonna be nearly unusable with the amount of AI bloatware they're shoveling into them.
