OpenAI faces 7 lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide, delusions OpenAI is facing seven lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide and harmful delusions even when they had no prior mental health issues.

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

A White House official said Thursday night that Trump approved the pardons for Casada and Cothren because the Department of Justice under Trump’s Democratic predecessor, Joe Biden, “significantly over-prosecuted these individuals for a minor issue.” The official spoke on background to discuss a pardon that had not yet been publicly released, but said the case against Casada and Cothren involved constituent mailers, which were billed at competitive prices, and that the case was brought despite prosecutors not having received a complaint from legislators. The scheme also resulted in a net profit loss of less than $5,000, said the official, who noted that the case featured an armed raid, perp walk and the potential for lengthy prison terms — things often more appropriate for federal cases involving frauds worth multiple millions of dollars.

Why is the Associated Press letting a White House official speak anonymously about why Trump pardoned a corrupt Tennessee Republican politician? And for 3 whole paragraphs, providing the defense that he only got $5,000 from his illegal scheme, which makes it OK In Trumpworld.

California cracks down on water theft but spares data centers from disclosing how much they use Gov. Newsom vetoed a bill that would have required data centers to report their projected water use when applying for a business license.

First sentence says it all: "Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed legislation that would have required data centers to report how much water they use." Read the rest of the story though. from @ianjames.bsky.social: www.latimes.com/environment/...

working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"

You had me at "jack my dog"

Fred Schneider of the B-52s, Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys, and French Stewart are all essentially the same guy.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

The Times has to issue a correction here. An Executive order can’t “require” any such thing. Calling it ‘an aggressive push to catch” fraud is bad editorial judgment. The first part is demonstrably false. Those who have any voice to the Times need to demand this. Might as well say pigs fly.

"Nazi" is a feeling - it's a vibe. Nazi fever - catch it!

Every one of these guys thinks they’re Oppenheimer mixed with Andrew Carnegie and they own something called SplortDotCom that got bought by Boozoo

If you put the time of the day or the day of the week on the screen I will always put that information out of my mind immediately but I hope it was fun for you to do

I stepped on this and it said Gay(??)

AI is such a perfect distillation of capitalism: a massive dedication of resources to make and maintain a product that no one needs, prompting companies to desperately try to create demand they can then supply, ultimately deteriorating our ability to think, create, or explore.

Hell yeah bro I love Survey

Lights will guiiiiiiide you home

Just found out today it's "bowels" of holly

Whenever I'm driving with my wipers on low and I come to a stop and the water starts trickling down the windshield, I feel like the car has a secret or something. It's suspicious!

it just amazing that a radicalized American shot someone actually responsible for the type of problems he had and not like a school or a mall

Atlantic headline: Murder is an Awful Answer for HealthCare Anger Online endorsement of the killing of a slain insurance CEO is evidence of a terrible coarsening in society By Nicholas Florko

It’s so interesting to see these urgent exhortations to reestablish decorum. I have not seen evidence of a “coarsening” of American society. If anything, the opposite: I’ve seen thousands of individuals asserting their humanity and protesting the indignity of the system UHC profits from.

My body is a temple that I must ritualistically desecrate every year on this day
