A Democratic candidate for Congress, Bernadette Greene-Placentia, went out to fix one of her damaged campaign signs in Arizona. She was attacked and raped. Please note that this article may be triggering and do take care if you read it.

Congressional candidate is raped while repairing her campaign signs

Embarrassed, she initially didn’t want to report attack. Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office's investigation is ongoing. A Phoenix New Times exclusive.

@dlakelan Peter is such a delight. Normally, he debunks creationist, and climate deniers, but he’s conducted the yearly award for the most ridiculous creationist attempt attempts to debunk science. It’s a lot of fun to listen to him

And I get that he's a nice guy and many people know him and now push his article. But he made the decision to keep working for OpenAI after so much shit happened. It doesn't matter that you worked with him once or that he's nice. Without actual remorse I don't give a shit.

You can't go work for a bad organization, make a whole lot of money and when things start to turn (and the house is paid off) jump ship and expect me to just take you in. That is not how any of this works. I need to see actual amends being made.
