"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

It’s certainly not ideal to have become disabled in my twenties, but I’m very grateful for the way it’s shaped my politics.
It’s nice to think I would have got here through Being Very Clever and Empathetic but… I would not.

I say this as someone who was against the campaign from day one, and broke with the dominant consensus long before that. But I don't attribute this to my character as much as to the people I happened to meet, the situations I happened to find myself in. Circumstances for which I am grateful.

More often than not, our politics are a reflection of where we happen to come from, not our individual choices.
If you were born Jewish Israeli, then there's 80% chance you would be supporting the campaign against Gaza.
That's just the unfortunate statistics.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

It's absolutely disgusting what the New York Times, and particularly Azeen Ghorayshi, is doing with its coverage of autism. It's so deeply irresponsible.
It's the same playbook they ran on trans kids.

Oh hey this is precisely what delayed my already decades-late autism ID by another three years, very cool how uninformed the gatekeepers get to be!
Just had a doctor interrogate the autism diagnosis on my records due to the ‘high levels of emotional empathy’ observed during our consultation. He then suggested that being a writer and autistic was, in his mind, highly unlikely.
Sorry, lads…but am I in the wrong century?

The partisan divide has grown, too. The wealthiest 100 tended to give more to Republicans than to Democrats before last year. But giving to the GOP spiked in 2024, with *84%* of donations going to back Republicans or conservative PACs.

The government’s ban on puberty blockers undermines clinical expertise and targets trans youth with a policy that lacks evidence, consistency and fairness.
