ZIWE: Which is your favorite feature of ChatGPT - the people killing themselves or the plagiarism?
ALTMAN: I, uh, I, well, I wouldn’t,
ZIWE: How much money do you have in your wallet?

I think Isaac would be great, he’s probably right there with Ziwe. But I think Ziwe would make Sam Altman spiral within 8 minutes.

Go for it -- they miss you, too.
Shout out to all the single people traveling back to their hometown in the next day or two to visit their parents for the holiday.
Just do it. Text your high school ex. See if they want to go hit up the bar the night before Thanksgiving. What could go wrong.

I agree. I appreciate Variety’s boldness here but there’s no way the Zapruder film should be at number 1
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!

Engagement KPIs have been responsible for infinite scroll UI traps, RecSys radicalization spirals, public shame brigades, and basically every modern ailment novel to the past decade. At some point, you have to recognize that the problem isn't any one technology, it's the metric.
The company essentially turned a dial that made ChatGPT more appealing and made people use it more, but sent some of them into delusional spirals.
OpenAI has since made the chatbot safer, but that comes with a tradeoff: less usage.

y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"
since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.
I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

If we can't regulate them, we should completely overhaul the tort system so that the Salt Typhoon type breaches result in lawsuits so financially devastating, the entire upper echelon of leadership at these companies get decapitated and are left penniless.
Breaking: The FCC has voted 2-1 along party lines to eliminate cybersecurity requirements for telecom companies that the commission adopted at the end of the Biden administration.
Telecoms had lobbied for the change. Democrats said it would invite another Salt Typhoon.
