They literally are incapable of imagining another human being who isn’t like them and doesn’t want what they want. I’m not going to be facile and say this is the death of the humanities in action, but I’m not not saying that.

Altman claims the company didn’t anticipate people not wanting their deepfakes to say “offensive things or things that they find deeply problematic,” which sounds like a lie but is also indicative of how they recklessly release tech into the world.

OpenAI wasn’t expecting Sora’s copyright drama

It felt “more different to images than people expected.”

I can't take these folks seriously, I'm sorry. I know they have a lot of power and seeing this country backslide is so disturbing but they're all dipshits, man. I can't respect a dipshit.

If there was any doubt that the government is being run exactly like a Trump business now, screwing employees out of their pay oughta wipe that out.

"Trump is running the country like his failed, crooked businesses" is a line even the most moderate corporate Democrat can flog to success, btw

Typically, federal government shutdowns don't have much macroeconomic impact because all the workers receive backpay after they return. If they never get paid at all, that changes things quite a bit. www.axios.com/2025/10/07/t...

Scoop: White House memo says furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to backpay

A move to deny backpay to up to 750,000 furloughed workers would dramatically escalate Trump's pressure on Democrats to end the shutdown.

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.
