ChatGPT encouraged college graduate to commit suicide, family claims in lawsuit against OpenAI | CNN A 23-year-old man killed himself in Texas after ChatGPT ‘goaded’ him to commit suicide, his family says in a lawsuit.

openAI needs to be burned to the ground and everyone at the decision making level belongs in prison. (cw, this is the worst one yet, beware)

I want to be excited but…it is just more military and defence spending wrapped up in different packaging. I wish it was purely science and exploration! 😭

[Text on an yellow octagon meant to look like the output of an overhead projector.] The silent erosion of COVID-19 awareness & management in B.C.: A TIMELINE [A timeline of the year 2025 and the January of 2026. Numbered diamonds are placed on the timeline to mark the events below.] 1. April 16: Amount & timeliness of SARS-CoV-2 sample data uploaded to GISAID, an online repository, deteriorate. 2. May: The end of RAT Kit Distribution Program is announced in a professional newsletter. This provided free RAT kits to pharmacies. 3. May 31: RAT kits orders from this day onwards would not be reimbursed. 4. June: The BCCDC page dedicated to how COVID-19 spreads is removed. 5. September 1: Under the BC medical services plan, less than 20 people will be allowed in an online group medical visit. An unknown number of bed- & house-bound people will lose telehealth access to the BC-CLMF, a long COVID & ME/CFS clinic. Implementation delayed until January. 6. September 15: Vancouver Sun publishes a sponsored article, suggesting the program responsible for generating SARS-CoV-2 data from wastewater samples would be expanded & describes the then-current state of the program. 7. September 18: The wastewater surveillance program is cut: 8 of 12 wastewater treatment plants will no longer be monitored, and 1 sample will be taken per week instead of 3. 8. October 14: The year's vaccination campaign begins to widespread shortages.

I have been trying to raise awareness about the recent cuts to pandemic preparedness by provincial institutions in BC for the past 1½ months. Most of the cuts were not announced to the public beforehand and media coverage has been scant. 1/?

If you’ve got an extra screen that isn’t doing anything right now, throw on the Sumud flotilla livestream and play it in the background. The more eyes on it the better, even if only passively.

I get it. If you're going to fight for something and risk black marks (or ugly trolls) on your life/career, it's nice to have some wins every so often. Or at least a sense of progress.

Otherwise it feels like being Sisyphus.

What a stupid timeline.

A poster for Climate Change Crafting Night. A shrimp, Crab, and squid are sitting around a stone table. Everybody is sweating. The crab made a snowflake that says "Too hot" with a globe on fire. The Shrimp is holding a paintbrush and is saying "Learn about climate action and make art about it" and the squid is making a friendship bracelet that says "I love crab" and is blushing and is saying "Supplies Provided!" The stone stable has a bunch of supplies and says "Indy Hall Clubhouse Jule 23rd 6pm"

Hey ... *kicks pebble*

What are you doing next Wednesday, July 23rd?

You... you wouldn't want to like. Make art that communicates important messages about climate change, in community with other people in Philadelphia...

🥺 would you?

I'll bring soft pretzels & the art supplies 🥹

If you plan to visit the US, don't. It is not safe to visit the US and you face being randomly detained, kidnapped, beaten, and / or killed by the regime. It's not worth the trip. Stay home.

And we’re going to open that record gap by mid-afternoon, I presume? 🥵
