I mean you're not wrong. It's early days for them so it might be something they are using as a placeholder.

Her posts, flagged by an automated review system, alarmed employees at OpenAI. Internally, about a dozen staffers debated whether to take action on Van Rootselaar’s posts. Some employees interpreted Van Rootselaar’s writings as an indication of potential real-world violence, and urged leaders to alert Canadian law enforcement about her behavior, the people familiar with the matter said.

Oh my god.

I wonder if they didn't turn her in because chatgpt was helping her plan a shooting and they didn't want the scrutiny.

In lots of strange ways, politics – and especially UK politics IMO given the impact of housing costs and tuition fees – is returning to a 19th century-style alignment, divided between a liberal, emerging, productive class and a conservative, rent-seeking, property-owning class.

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.

I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion

People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

The entire UK diplomatic budget is about Β£1.4 billion a year. That’s pretty much precisely 0.1% of government spending.

BBC World Service is about Β£0.25 billion (it should be higher), or 0.02%.

These are rounding errors on rounding errors. Double each and public expenditure wouldn’t twitch.

Mad.

The Guardian view on the BBC World Service: this is London calling | Editorial Editorial: With just seven weeks before its funding runs out, the UK’s greatest cultural asset and most trusted international news organisation must be supported

And another bites the dust?

The BBC World Service will run out of funding in just seven weeks. Its funding arrangement with the Foreign Office finishes at the end of March. There is no plan for what happens next.

Iirc they banned online gambling for a fair few years. Probably because UK was leader in that sector in the early days.

I think Star Trek Into Darkness is Not Good, but I appreciate a lot that one of the ways that it’s Not Good is that at one point they call up Leonard Nimoy and they’re basically like β€œhey you were in some of these movies before, was a guy named Khan in any of them? What’s his deal?”

"... to act out these paradoxes, whether it is kidnapping a foreign head of state, whether it is threatening our allies to colonize Greenland, whether it is looking the other way in a genocide. Hypocrisies are vulnerabilities, and they threaten democracies globally."

"I think what we identify is that in a rules based order, hypocrisy is vulnerability, and so I think what we are seeking is a return to a rules based order that eliminates the hypocrisies around when too often in the West, we look the other way for inconvenient populations ... "

The game you are about to play is a product of its time. It may depict the PS3, which was commonplace in society. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today.
