Scoop: I sent a public record request to the FTC for complaints mentioning ChatGPT. I got 200 complaints back, but a couple stood out.

They described experiencing severe delusions, paranoia, and spiritual crises, and they attributed it to ChatGPT:

This cuts both ways. How many gay and trans people have found community online even though they have to keep their truth a closely guarded secret irl? How many lives have been saved by shrinking our world?

The failure isn't that we built the Internet, it's that we didn't stomp the Nazis out.

This article is quite good and balanced, but I find these numbers pretty insane.

Trump Empowers Election Deniers, Still Fixated on 2020 Grievances

"Trump has elevated multiple proponents of his fraud claims into high-level administration jobs. Now, as government insiders these activists could wield their newfound power to discredit future results or rekindle old claims to argue for a federal intrusion into locally administered voting systems."

Steven Cheung and Stephen Miller are the two Steves that make up most of Trump's brain. A lot of attention on the latter, but the former is really the one who merits the most scrutiny. His style is right out of the mid 2000s message board culture. He used it for Dana White and now uses it for Trump

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson boldly called for Americans to stage a general strike during his speech at his city’s β€˜No Kings’ rally on Saturday.

Why Protests Should Be Promises Modern movements that aim to advance racial equity should withhold and promise, rather than perform, writes Olúfẹ́mi TÑíwò

we should all go out on October 18 and it's good that so many of us are planning to. but we should all start talking to each other about what we're going to do next, too - what we will withhold together if the abuses continue. we can go on offense, too!

I am very happy with this Venn Diagram. I think it captures a lot of complicated legal issues quite well. I definitely will be reusing it regularly.

Altman is here only trying to claw back market share from the many "uncensored" models floating in the wild, used by game devs, Virt-a-mate VR users and earlier versions of Replika and its many knock-offs. While people are correct to point to the dangers, the cat's well out of the bag.

The whiplash from 'we are going to build responsible AI' and 'were worried about the addictive nature of these tools'

To:

'Were going to build a porn bot', 'were building a additctive, endless scroll social media app' and 'were bringing back the addictive model'

Is pretty big

An often forgotten track D'Angelo collaborated on and arranged that brought together a bunch of brothers to address street stuff when people were writing off our communities.

If red state schools accept this we are going to get a two-tiered system of higher ed. One set of states will be based in empirical reality and the other will be subject to the whims of a conspiratorial movement that is increasingly detached from facts.

This is the seed of their defeat. Their program has literally nothing to offer their followers. They've been running on spite, but spite is fumes. Real fascism needs fuel and there is just not enough to get people to live or die for. Unfortunately, they have drones for that.
