Hmmm... Did they subpoena his ChatGPT chats, or is this all off his phone? Curious. #wildfires #palisadesfire

In the five minutes after he allegedly set the fire, prosecutors said Rinderknecht called 911 several times, but didn’t get through because he didn’t have cell service in the area. When he finally reached 911, he was at the bottom of the hiking trail and reported the fire. By that time, aresident had already reported the blaze.

‘While on the phone with 911, Rinderknecht allegedly typed a question into ChatGPT: “Are you at fault if a fire is lift because of your cigarettes,” according to the criminal complaint.

@dyckron There was a widening and road access realignment project near us that took like 5 years. It was maddening to get through that construction. After it was over, an area of around 3 miles that used to take, before the project started, 20 minutes to get through now only takes a few minutes.

Says a press dispatch from Reuters.

And threw the Stock Exchange in a spin
And made the bankers cry […]
