OpenAI Says Hundreds of Thousands of ChatGPT Users May Show Signs of Manic or Psychotic Crisis Every Week OpenAI Says Hundreds of Thousands of ChatGPT Users May Show Signs of Manic or Psychotic Crisis Every Week

by OpenAI’s own estimates, hundreds of thousands of ChatGPT users are showing signs of manic or psychotic crisis every week

An "AI" tech support line told me that it'd raise a ticket and get back to me in a couple of days

Yeah, I guess that's probably what a human AI tech support guy might have said. Good job impersonating tech support, one slight problem.

I feel there are very different types of societal support - the places you mention provide more financial support from society, but IMHO returning to earlier birth rates will require cutting the amount of *time* expected from parents back to where it was decades earlier, and noone provides that.

Wishing the EU good luck on their intricate mission to figure out WHO is launching the mysterious drones over their defense facilities and airports. Really challenging issue, we’re all in anticipation

Whether an attribute is a slur depends on it's appropriateness. Labeling someone as an animal is a slur, labeling a cow as an animal is not. Calling a person fat is a slur, calling butter fat is not a slur. Objectifying a person is a slur, objectifying an object is entirely appropriate.

It's appropriate to use dehumanizing language for non-humans and objectifying language to refer to objects - after all, the whole problem with dehumanizing language is that it equates some people to objects, and forbidding dehumanizing language towards objects (or artificial systems) also does that.

Ultimately it doesn’t matter whether Britain thinks we are at war with Russia if Moscow already considers itself at war with us, which it does. We either acknowledge the reality of it or bury our heads in the sand, in either scenario, the war for Europe has already begun.

In other disciplines where people "without a technical background" need to develop things - people like linguists for computational linguistics, biologists for bioinformatics, etc - they just learn how to program with the same tools tech people have found to be best. And it works better this way.

Right now, one institution after another is calculating that if they cross Trump MAGA will hurt them, but the Dems won't.

You need them to recalculate and you get them to recalculate by putting large, angry crowds in the street over and over and over again.

Then Dems are "me, or the pitchforks."

🤓 Anthropic recently release a threat report that shows how threat actors are using their model Claude. Here are some of the highlights:

880000 kWh a year i.e. 100 kW is a really small number for a power plant, just a single wind turbine can produce much more. If the author is being intentionally misleading in this part of the article (trying to present an insignificant amount as a large one), how can I trust anything else in it?

This fucking sentence

A man understandably refused to hand over his ID or get out of the car for a bunch of masked thugs who refused to identify themselves.

And when he drove away, they opened fire on him.

This isn’t how you do any sort of enforcement when your goal is to uphold the law. This is gangsterism.

Do note that the putin's offer was *not* to "to end war as soon as Ukraine gives him everything he wants"; this wasn't a peace offer but rather a *cease fire* for that - i.e. to temporarily pause the war as soon as Ukraine gives him everything he wants now, and then a bit later come for even more.

we can sneak around town / hunting working folks down / I hear they got a great benefit plan

OTD in 1975 USSR signed Helsinki Accords promising to respect borders & let countries join what orgs like they want.

As we, the self declared successor state, have *always* followed this, you can trust over a peace deal with Ukraine now.

Do you think the replacement would do anything better instead of following the same course, perhaps even more effectively?

But Starbucks is an entry level job, and it sucks because it's an entry level job, and entry level jobs will always suck as much as legally permitted - so for any individual (who can't magically change that) the only way they'll get better conditions is by getting a "real job" i.e. not entry level.

But that's kind of the point of the message - it's a very hard job with low compensation because employers can get anyone else to do it, and careers with various entry requirements tend to be easier and less taxing, so it's a good recommendation to get away from entry level jobs as soon as you can.

💥 CERT-UA published a report on a malware powered by an LLM.

This was where I worked. This was where research showed that BPA harmed babies, Pesticides created 6 legged frogs and PCBs cause cancer among other things. The EPA is a superhero from protecting human health and the health of our water and air. Ask WHY they would shut this down?

What caused Grok's Racist Meltdown

Doesn't the IPCC report essentially state that EU faces a future of "crazy" heat no matter what it does with respect to methane emissions? Those aren't different alternatives, we have to prepare our economy and housing for climate change no matter what, and emissions reduction is a separate issue.

This has been one of the most controversial videos I have ever made. It has elicited hundreds of abusive and sometimes threatening messages.
It is 7 seconds long.
I don't ask people to do anything, and I am not rude.
I simply, unapologetically, state that I exist.
This is why we still need pride.

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

Europe’s frontier countries ready their hospitals for war From stockpiling trauma kits for mass casualties to kitting out medics with body armor, wartime health planning is no longer hypothetical on NATO’s eastern flank.
