This company designs its products to sycophantic. It knows it is doing this. It knows why it is doing this. The design principles involved are well-known in HCI. OpenAI, quite literally, is a monstrosity.
“OpenAI’s court filing argued that the harms in this case were at least partly caused by Raine’s ‘failure to heed warnings, obtain help, or otherwise exercise reasonable care,’ as well as the ‘failure of others to respond to his obvious signs of distress.’”
OpenAI denies allegations that ChatGPT is to blame for a teenager's suicide
Adam Raine's family sued the AI company in August. On Tuesday, OpenAI said in a new court filing that it isn't responsible for the teen's death.

In which Zack Budryk perfectly captures the feeling many #ActuallyAutistic people feel in this particular moment of RFK Jr.'s resurgence: We felt like we were turning the corner on autism acceptance. And now we are seeing that door closed off.

Let this short thread radicalize you.
Normand Meunier is a Canadian man with quadriplegia who accessed MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) after being left for 96 hours on a stretcher in the ER.
His requests for a specialized mattress were denied.
He wasn't turned regularly.
He developed bed sores so bad, he opted to end his life.

This is concerning, and, as mentioned in the thread, HRCE isn't providing adequate information or resources.
SJAM school does not have drinkable water. The hrce provided four 18 L jugs to do over 400 students the last day or two. The staff do not know when they're getting more. They are of course distressed/concerned.

Ethnic frauds stir up so many terrible feelings in Indigenous folks, and I don't think the general public really understands this.
The goal of the ongoing colonial project has been the erasure of Indigenous Peoples, meaning our identity and existence has been undermined from every direction.

This is terrifying.
Reasons Trump wants war w/ Venezuela:
• To steal oil – pure financial greed
• To steal land
• To kill/to feed his sadism
• To emulate Putin's totalitarianism and his invasion of Ukraine
• To distract from and prevent full release of the Epstein files
• In an attempt to justify martial law in the US

Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection.
But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk.
They are still worth getting.
Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

This is such a good thread and totally worth your time esp. if you're interested in conspiracy theories and granola nazis.
Thinking back to November 2023 when Soledad O'Brien and Rob Reiner devoted their time and clout to this credulous conspiracy podcast about the JFK assassination. Feeding the anti-government conspiracy theory mill when there were 12 months to go before a crucial election was, IMO, a bad choice.
