OpenAI Gets Florida Criminal Probe Over ChatGPT Role in Shooting Florida is sending criminal subpoenas to OpenAI, opening a novel investigation into whether a chatbot could be criminally liable for use in a mass shooting.

“Florida is sending criminal subpoenas to OpenAI, opening a novel investigation into whether a chatbot could be criminally liable for use in a mass shooting.”

when a male engineer asks people to not use or accept sloppy code in production, he’s affirmed as making a correct/good admonition

when a non-male designer asks people to spend 10 minutes to avoid chatgpt ui slop, it’s suddenly “gatekeeping”

Ordering with the Starbucks ChatGPT app was a true coffee nightmare Does anyone actually order coffee this way?

“I can’t shake the idea that this app — like so many AI tools — appears to be designed for people that simply don’t exist.”

This reminds me of a “multistakeholder convening” I was invited to years ago, intended the solve the problem of “lack of trust in tech.” When I suggested the real problem was that the tech industry wasn’t trustworthy, the bros looked at me like I had three heads.

I now need a password, a dual authentication app, and a biometric log in to get into half the things I use at work.

Meanwhile, IT can't explain why copilot keeps turning itself back on.

What are we doing?

So jealous of you Illinois folks today. Outlawing book bans is a hell of a step forward.

Sherlock Holmes Is Finally Free To Be Gay I recently watched the utterly ridonkulous TV show Young Sherlock, which takes some delightfully strange liberties with the character of Sherlock Holmes....

As of 2023, Sherlock Holmes is finally in the public domain in the United States -- which means that Arthur Conan Doyle's heirs and random other rights-holders can no longer insist that the character be free of any trace of homoeroticism.

As far as YouTubers go Hank Green had one of the worst falloffs in history. He’s fully in for AI in ways that don’t even make sense.

A roadside Shell gas station price sign with palm trees and a hillside in the background. The sign shows fuel prices under “with Wash” and “without Wash.” Shell with Wash Gasoline without Wash 6.05 9/10 Regular 6.29 9/10 6.29 9/10 Plus 6.49 9/10 6.59 9/10 V-Power 6.69 9/10 8.09 9/10 Diesel #2 8.09 9/10 Food Mart

Wow. Shell is always the most expensive, but diesel is more than $8 a gallon. (I’m in California.)

I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading.

It was worth it.

Monterey Park becomes the first city in California to ban "all data centers within city limits" Residents of the small enclave east of LA not only killed their city's proposed 250,000 square foot data center, they pushed city council to ban them altogether

Last night, after an hours-long public hearing, Monterey Park became the first city in California to pass an ordinance permanently banning data centers.

The city council voted unanimously to declare data centers a public nuisance, and to "prohibit all data centers within city limits."

The Onion does way more good with my subscription money than anything I've ever donated to a politician.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

100% this.

Absolutely grotesque how domestic violence gets written off by media, certainly ... but also by most people.

Getting ready to kill Tim Curry's villainous character in Dragon Age Origins ... as I silently wish Mr. Curry a happy birthday since it was yesterday. 🤣🤘

I happen to adore Curry as an actor in everything I've seen him in--but I gotta say, his villains are epic.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.
