I think this is also the first federal search warrant on OpenAI to be made public but correct me if I'm wrong.

There's potential here for broader searches - e.g. asking for anyone who prompted something less specific, as in cases where Google was asked to identify people searching certain terms.

OpenAI Ordered To Unmask ChatGPT User Behind 2 Prompts First known warrant of its kind reveals the government can ask OpenAI to provide identifying information on anyone who enters specific prompts.

🚨SCOOP🚨 DHS ordered OpenAI to identify a user who'd made 2 specific prompts.

User was anonymous and accused of helping run 15 child abuse sites. They'd disclosed the prompts to an undercover agent.

First example of what I'm calling a reverse AI prompt search.

Just finished reading THE MEDUSA PROTOCOL by @robwhart.bsky.social and it's fantastic. I loved the first book in the series, ASSASSIN'S ANONYMOUS, but this one might have been better. Check them out if you haven't.

I do like the bits that feel like the DM hastily fixing player screwups. Like the teleportation staff has to be something the DM came up with after a 1 roll on that bridge.

In my head, he's the DM's older brother who was able to sit in one session of the campaign while he was on break from college.

CDC team running top survey on health and nutrition is laid off NHANES has collected data on eating patterns, diabetes and other common diseases for decades. The CDC team that runs it has been fired.
