Yeah. Seems someone needs to be taking criticism of $obvious_bad_thing, and translating it into other languages and reading levels.

Edit: My initial reply was of poor quality. I skipped half of you thoughtful comment, AND I misunderstood your meaning as well. I apologize.

I think you are correct about your interpretation of their current policy. However, their old policy would have allowed for checking on users. The old policy is one reason my old company disallowed the usage of OpenAI, as corporate secrets could easily be gathered by OpenAI. (The paranoid among use suspected that was the reason for releasing such a buggy AI.)

I agree. I think training a depressing detector to flag problematic conversations for human review is a good idea.

That is a really great image.

Yes. Even if the government of the USA does nothing, there will be negative impacts. The population that survives may migrate north or south. Warlords will strike out for new territories. Anything still created or grown in the USA will no longer be. Billionaires will flee to the nicer parts of the world to repeat the process. Wealth in the American stock markets will do something.

Your family will end up doing most of the cleaning. Your landlord will hire low wage people to do any remaining.
Please reconsider.

POWERFULLY!

If we discount the “landing of boats”, then who gets to sell the land the documents could have been based on?

Opens? OpenAI spent years doing exactly that. Though, apparently they almost three years ago.

Previously, data submitted through the API before March 1, 2023 could have been incorporated into model training. This is no longer the case since OpenAI implemented stricter data privacy policies.

Inputs and outputs to OpenAI’s API (directly via API call or via Playground) for model inference do not become part of the training data unless you explicitly opt in.

National Guard are still on standby.

Also, Jake Lang was run out of town. His march attracted like 9 people. What the fuck is USA Today doing normalizing that shit head?!

Thanks to Ars for including the lullaby. It is incredibly bleak.

Just to draw it out a little more.
A company intentionally made a product that is more than capable of killing its users. The company monitors the communications, and decides to not intervene. (Beats me how closely communications are monitored, but the company can and does close accounts as told in other articles.)
This communication went on for months or years. The company had more than enough time to act.
Sam Altman is a bad person for choosing not to.

Americans who don’t support the president agree with the sentiment, for different reasons.

Perfection

Right on both accounts.

Remember the time Trump tried overthrow the election? Prosecutors worked really slowly. Some people tried to get him off the ballot, but some judges didn’t think that was important.

Well yeah. How else to get the white nationalists to feel at home.

Also, white nationalists are a huge group of losers. “waa People just think I am a looser because I am white, not because I am a fucking idiot. waa waah waa”

Does Trump’s lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch not count? https://www.npr.org/2025/07/17/nx-s1-5471583/trump-wall-street-journal-epstein-files-bondi

I am having issues finding a followup.

An aside “Just Security” (I cannot vouch for this site) has a litigation tracker for the Trump Administration, but not for the Trump person. https://www.justsecurity.org/107087/tracker-litigation-legal-challenges-trump-administration/

between this and the sound visualizer (like an infrared camera, it shows hot spots of where sound is coming from), directional sound things are having a moment.

Didn’t we learn during the fallout from the first Trump admin that Facebook had spooks at high levels and was supporting Cambridge Analytica?

Thanks for sharing this.

Fascinating.

The epithelial tissues that make up skin and line organs, blood vessels, and body cavities quietly burn about 25% of their available energy to maintain membrane voltages between minus 30 and minus 50 millivolts.

A number of the the troll farms and ai bot farms are paid work. Cut out of pay, and the employees will do other things.

How does one do that? Take out the sources of money, of which there are likely a few.
