i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isnβt just uncouth or βcontroversialβ but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

"Something that seems fundamental to me about ChatGPT which gets lost over and over again: When you inter text into it, you're asking "what would a response to this sound like?"...But people keep wanting the "say something that sounds like an answer" machine to be doing something else, and believing it *is* doing something else.
My daughter, who's an ivy leaguer who's well aware of the phenomenon of ivy leaguers spouting BS & who seriously studied computer science made the following observation.

"At some point, OpenAI will charge their actual costs" is a pretty good reason why educators and school administrators should refuse to institutionalize OpenAI's tools and the ed-tech products that use OpenAI - and other generative AI too!

A headline from The Guardian about AI.
Amazon, google and meta are pillaging culture, data and creativity to train AI, Australian inquiry finds. Followed by a text about the recommendation to introduce legislation in Australia.
All countries should get behind this. It's not just some small artist, it's everyone. Your culture, data, everything. Big tech thinks they deserve everything for free and keep all the profit.
Stop this now. #AI #meta #amazone #google
