I'm starting to think that there's no ethical way to deploy customizable chatbots.

they've automated the confidence-man & are actively applying it in the traditional fields:

finance, romance, medicine, afterlife…

Even if they restricted themselves to selling the tool, we would still take it up and do it to ourselves.

It's just how humans work.

hang a screen above it so Thursday recalls can jump it.

people will pay to do this to themselves. Just like the chatbot dating and the chatbot therapy that keeps getting reported as viable choices rather than harmful exploitation.

this is a prop for the classic "medium" scam. Exploiting the bereaved as a service.

Q1: does Caesar tolerate being pet/groomed by strangers?

I don't want to bother & obstruct him, get bitten, kicked, or spit on. I DO want to brush that fur.

(I'm an artist, not an authority.)

I think the complexity and speculative self-dealing is how the lie manifests & gets delivered to investors. It's the accounting lie/obfuscation & maybe not really a separate thing.

Based on analysis of years of revenues, losses and funding, since 2023, OpenAI has taken in $28.6bn in cash and had $13.7bn in losses.

However, reports say OpenAI ended 1H 2025 with $9.6bn in cash - suggesting OpenAI's losses are billions higher than reported.

lying about finances to investors & regulators. Various ways of compromising their ledgers.

I thought this was how geometry works: similarity & scaling.

The article doesn't explain how there's another possibility. How do some cells have the same shape, but break similarity?

it's signals that they really wanted the following part to say "shut the fuck up."
It's a reference to the practice of pre-excusing yourself before transgressing rather than controlling yourself.
Probably.

Using SNAP is already an exercise in proving
1) you are sufficiently needy
2) you are sufficiently deserving

It's an identity crushing, anxiety sustaining experience in exchange for a MAXIMUM of $150 of food, but probably less.

I don't know what people imagine it to be.

While hundreds of thousands of deaths are an incomprehensible loss, the guy likely understands his role in them.
