Fuck OpenAI, fuck it all the way into the flaming fires of hell, and fuck every institution that embraces and supports and encourages it.
OpenAI says they aren't liable for the suicide of a user their chat bot urged to kill himself because suicide is a violation of the TOS
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

3) Stuff costs money. Everyone wants a nicely kept country with good services, and fifteen years of assuming volunteers can run libraries and hoping maybe the homeless would just go away did not have the same effect as paying professionals and building things did. I remain willing to pay for this

The telephone exchange in Deddington, north Oxfordshire, has been switched off in the very first of 4,600 shutdowns planned by [BT] Openreach. Phone lines in the village have all been upgraded to digital full fibre served by the Banbury exchange, with the copper wire network turned off.

How overnight Budget analysis works: 15 minutes of putting data into Excel and cranking out some graphs. Eight hours of brainstorming the title and creating life-long enemies in the process over cold pizza.

This is quite shockingly racist and I don't know why this is getting a pass from the media. If Goodwin were still gainfully employed in a proper workplace, this is the kind of shit that gets you hauled up in front of HR and issued with a formal warning.

Genuinely puzzled why Rachel Reeves seems so poorly prepared for her post-budget media round. The questions are obvious, so why not have slicker answers prepared?

As since at least 2016 but quite possibly 2008, UK politics is fatally undermined by dishonesty, cowardice and simplism, and nothing in this budget changes that picture. Whether it is demographics or the global economy, governments haven't wanted to level with people.

By the way, note that the description of Biden as being "in obvious mental decline" was left in the speech, while the description of Trump as the "most openly corrupt president in American history" was removed:
Note that the BBC openly admits in an email to me that the removal of this claim about Trump's world-historical corruption was done "on legal advice."
Translation: Trump's threat of a lawsuit, no matter how bogus, has now been rewarded.
