I'm in Canada, but I am in favour of whatever it takes to end the deluge of ads and send these degenerate bettors back into the shadows where they belong.

With the caveat that I am currently clinically brain dead I’m making myself laugh thinking about a guy driving a Tesla with a bumper sticker saying “I bought this before I knew I was stupid”

The problem that we need to solve isn't rogue AI, it's that companies increasingly think they can just price crime into the business model and get away with it

I hope the worst for these people. Covering for an unrepentant — and prolific — rapist is a kind of low you should need multiple lifetimes to atone for.

Not sure who needs to hear this (it is a lot of people though), but I don't think anyone wants to see a new picture of Musk's disgusting body. I would love even a single day where I could remain unaware of what he is saying or gazing upon his revolting visage. The only update I want is his obituary.

I am begging you imbeciles to understand that these are tools. They are not sentient. When things like this happen it is because they were irresponsibly built, configured and implemented. It is not "going rogue," OpenAI is either incapable of safely operating and / or they are committing crimes.

In a book full of incredible things, this is the most mind-blowing for me. Currency becoming more valuable for its properties as physical material because of the extraordinary circumstances of that moment in time, and then being transmuted back to its abstract value as if nothing had ever happened

It's 2026, and Trump has fucked over, driven insane and slandered everyone who has ever been foolish enough to work for him. You look in the mirror and say "sure, but I'm different." He immediately notices you're not wearing the ill-fitting shoes he demanded you wear.
