Remember:

When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.

When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.

ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.
i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

Someone on Trump’s staff needs to be fired for thinking this would be a good idea. 🤣🤣
Trump: I am fine. You sound beautiful and cute. How old are you?

Caller: I am eight

Disagree. They very clearly do not need Venezuelan war as a pretext. They’re already getting all the deportations they want. Some crackpot (Rubio) got Trump’s ear on Venezuela.
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

On many social media sites, there are two topics that will bring out the most transparently ignorant faux-expertise. One is health care. The other is rent vs own.
And, again: not trying to proselytize for renting! I just want to de-stigmatize renting. It is how many of us pay for housing. And many of us choose to pay for housing this way, not because it’s the only way we can, but because it’s the way that we prefer. And most importantly …

The White House has put up barriers around the ballroom construction, and told government workers not to share photos without permission.

So if we’re taking our own pictures, they have to be from distance. (I say that as someone who has tried, too, and snapped this from the Washington Monument.)

Thursday was brutal for Trump on multiple fronts — Indiana, Letitia James, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, AP poll, et al. — but don’t sleep on the House passing the Protect America’s Workforce Act.

It’s the first time this year the Republican-led House has voted to undo a Trump executive order.
House Republicans made matters even worse for Trump on his day from hell
The president has suffered through plenty of awful days this year, but few could compete with Thursday's events.

It's the year 2077. All movie studios belong to Netflix. Cinemas only play trailers for their streaming catalog. Every franchise is canceled after two movies/seasons, on mandatory cliffhangers. Nothing from before 2002 is available. Owning physical media is punishable by death. Netflix is love.

The ONLY thing I want from a streaming service is the depth of selection that Netflix-by-mail used to have.
