Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

“Imagine losing a third of a city’s firefighters and then wondering why downtown is burning.” The CDC, long seen as the global leader in public health, has lost its independence and much of its staff as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his associates have tightened control. nyti.ms/4hugAFa

This is how OpenAI should be referred to in all news headlines. They have built a machine to destroy the internet and the global economy. They must be held responsible for all crimes committed with and by their tools.

My counterpoint to "if you cared about your work, you would crunch" is if you cared about the quality of your game and your workers, you would give them appropriate time to craft it.

We are tired of posting statements like these.

Today was an awful day at IGN. We were blindsided by the layoff of four union members and many more people across the organization who contributed years of their careers to making IGN an unparalleled voice in games and entertainment.

With each successive layoff, core parts of IGN’s operation continue to be stripped away. Today, IGN has decided to do away with many of our talented producers, editors, hosts, and other crucial roles, both within and out of the union. How many layoffs will occur before we no longer recognize the company we work for and the content that we make?

While we recognize the challenges the media industry is facing as a whole, it is difficult to understand how laying off valuable employees better positions us to meet those challenges. In turn, remaining employees bear additional workloads worsened by anxiety over the ever-looming threat of another layoff.

We are devastated, angry, and heartbroken for our colleagues.

yesterday, Donny made up some disgraceful lie about how firefighters pulled him from the rubble on 9/11. what kind of fucked-up bullshit is that? what a gross pig. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I rip this demented shithead several new ones. link is here: bit.ly/4xErcbc

of all the things that never happened, Donny getting saved from Ground Zero has be right up there with things that never happened the most.

make no mistake — two big, strong firemen, tears of relief coursing down their cheeks like few thought possible, did not grab this lying sack of shit under the arms and hustle him away from danger. these imaginary firemen didn’t go ‘sir! sir! we gotta get outta here! sir!’

none of this shit happened.

we know it didn’t happen, because this soft, pampered man-child of privilege wasn’t anywhere near Ground Zero on 9/11. he was in his eyesore of a fake-gold tower, four miles away, phoning into TV stations and bragging about how he now had the tallest building in lower Manhattan.

how do we know this? because there’s a fucking video of it, that’s why.

They destroyed the internet, and especially destroyed an entire ecosystem of journalists and independent comedians. And yet. Facebook should have been fined for fraud. A lot of companies paid for ads based on those fake metrics, & paid for engagement that didn't exist.

This—Trump treating states that didn't vote for him as though they're not part of the U.S. and therefore his Oath of Office doesn't require him to act justly toward them—can only go on so long before such states state to *act* like *independent* entities.

All the most damning evidence is being hidden from American voters, and everyone in DC knows it. What sort of cowardice prompts anyone to accept this as anything but a criminal conspiracy in plain sight? Institutional violence against justice—and even the very concept of America?

My takeaway from that speech is that we are headed down the road of Trump trying to outright rig elections. It probably won't work, but he's going for it.
