Here’s the latest 'scoop' being spread by right wing gobshites on Shitter. Except:
-he’s not a teacher, he’s an assistant
-the school didn’t sack him, he works for an agency
-they stopped using him not for putting up flags but for posting racist bollocks and misinformation online.

Sam Altman went from “AI will cure cancer" to "ChatGPT porn" in less than a month

ChatGPT boss predicts when AI could cure cancer

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

“They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies & driving them to suicide & lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.”

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

If this all goes as badly as possible then the especially racist schism of the GOP, the ones who are currently treating Charlie Kirk's death like a JFK type conspiracy, will seize control of the whole thing. A true gangster state will emerge and Trump will seem like a fond memory.

MAGA is big mad because the majority around the world refuses to give the Cankled Commander in Chief praise for a "peace deal" that doesn't exist in Israel and Palestine, and we all know he has been played and will get played by Israel and Netanyahu.

Also, release the Epstein Files.

Method acting is a slippery slope even Daniel Day-Lewis has said it himself. In various stage roles it is how its done. In some thought-provoking indie film it can work well, too, especially if its a villain. Weird idiots like Leto ... for a big budget Tron movie? Should never even be considered.

Right-wingers literally straight-up admitting "it's harder to discredit the left because the left is almost always telling the truth"
Scott Jennings @Lum 21h um, yes, that's really a problem

The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality rightwing content.
That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well.
In essence people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly arent usually on our side.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

the frog suit thing is very good for a range of reasons, also seen that a lot of people are going for inflatable axolotl suits which might end up being even more powerful

Straight after the goal last Saturday there was a wee tiny glimpse. Trademark double sprint where he broke up play. The captain did not take the defeat in Europa well and the team making the 3pts happen against Motherwell in the way they did shows that unity is not an issue for Daizen or anyone.

ultrawideo @ultrawideo.bsky.social · 4d

Whatever has went on between him, the board and the manager, is obviously not same as the tale the manger told the press. The bottom line is he plays for us and we need him and every other player with their wits about them. Sulking around because you never got a move to Brentford is not acceptable.

Trump launched the TrumpRX website today.

It has a photo of Trump and an AI-generated family with too many fingers and mangled toes.

TrumpRx Is a Narcissistic, AI-Generated Nightmare

AI art really has become the aesthetic of grifters and fascists.
