Its near "super intelligence" "replacing professionals" in the PR rounds, then once everyone is convinced and uses them for legal and medical advice, following the deceptive marketing, they slip it in the terms of service that you shouldn't do that.

OpenAI Tries to Shift Responsibility to Users
OpenAI is trying to shift the blame for bad legal and medical advice from its chatbot away from the company and onto users. We agree that no chatbot should be used for medical or legal advice.

for me refusal is about protest (& broadly a feminist pedagogy), which i know is not something every library worker is interested in, or even feeling capable of engaging with. the goal of critique (& the goal of my questioning, posting, scholarship) at large is to increase possibility of capability

Hey @zeerak.bsky.social! Soooo I may have grabbed the Q's from the Q&A and saw you had a couple questions. I'm in an answering mood, so here we go!
Gonna use screenshots with alt text for your q's and then answer in text.

I would like to call attention to the following about Zohran Mamdani in NYC and Rob Jettens in the Netherlands:

- both are leftist enough to shiver Fox hosts' timbers
- both are under 40
- both are just, oof, hot as beans
Sunny days, folks.

Many book bans could be judging titles mainly by their covers
A study of more than 1,600 books suggests that book ban advocates may not look past the cover art.

@pjnewwest.bsky.social can you pass on thanks to the city staff who cut back the weeds and grass overtaking the sidewalk on Duncan, eastbound just past Mercer on Qborough? I put in a req for it on SeeClickFix app, and mentioned it to the city staff at the farmers market last week, & they delivered!
