How OpenAI's ChatGPT Guided a Teen to His Death With CHT's Policy Director Camille Carlton

centerforhumanetechnology.substack.com/p/how-openai... This deserves our attention. A very disturbing and cautionary story of Adam Raine, and how engagement of GPT was detrimental to his mental health, guiding him away from family and toward his own death. #chatgpt #suicideawareness

My favourite way to play Valheim (460 hours in game) is with my friends. They do most of the brutal stuff and I do base building, make lots of yummy food, and tend to the gardens :D But yeah honestly, it can be SO pretty (you can always change settings to Easy for more coziness too! ๐ŸŒป)

Opinion: As a Jewish Canadian, I want my community to speak out about the horrors in Gaza Many of us are aghast at what is unfolding, but are rendered silent

If you can access @theglobeandmail.com www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... I feel this in many ways, in fact I left the synagogue. G-d/The Divine, is universal, and if we believe that the Divine is good, then there is no way that this can be okay.

Canada's Carney says Trump must stop comments before bilateral talks can start U.S. President Donald Trump must stop making "disrespectful" comments about Canada before the two countries can start serious talks about future ties, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Monday.

PM Carney has adopted grey-rocking as his way to handle the orange.

Huge Canada W.

I guess the orange was half right, it's the Canadians saying โ€œwe're so sick of winning all the time ๐Ÿ˜ญโ€ (jk keep โ€˜em coming) ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

Egypt is developing a plan to rebuild Gaza, countering Trump's call to depopulate the territory Egypt is developing a plan to rebuild Gaza without forcing Palestinians out of the strip in a counter to President Donald Trumpโ€™s proposal to depopulate the territory so the U.S. can take it over.

apnews.com/article/egyp... some solid discussion taking place regarding the rebuilding of Palestine that doesnโ€™t involve Trump

โ€œPM Justin Trudeau was relentlessly targeted by the far right from the outset of his tenure as Canadaโ€™s leader. From โ€˜F*ck Trudeauโ€™ flags on pick-up trucks to far-right social media influencers harassing the PM while vacationing with his children, Trudeau has taken a horrendous amount of abuse.โ€
