OVER A MILLION USERS

DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT

EVERY *WEEK*

what the fuck are we DOING here
Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.
I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

There is absolutely no world in which this is a "setting"

What ontological universe is Apple living in? If only we had some existing design pattern like "notifications" or "banners" to show users what's new??

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

JS Bluesky is so chill right now because its mostly builders; OS people, app develops, etc. content creators haven't figured out how to game the algo yet and aren't dominating the timeline. It'll happen eventually, so let's enjoy the moment

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size.

At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.

When interacting with DOM nodes directly after they render, instead of useEffect you can use callback refs.

OMG, I just learned about Text fragments and how they allow you to link to a webpage and highlight a string of text:
