Is it perfect? No. Does it frequently piss me off? Yes. does it get things wrong? Often. Should we constantly question and criticise it? Of course. But I'm still proud of it.

I own a very small comic store. This alone should tell you that I am not a savvy business person, and that I am prone to poor financial decisions. So trust me when I tell you that if even I can see that this level of losses is unsustainable something is going to give. And when it does it will be bad
:stares in 1929:
ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.”
That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.”

The fact that 30% of our stock market is wrapped up in “help-kids-kill-themselves” technology seems to be an important datapoint in the evolution of late stage capitalism.
ChatGPT advised a suicidal young woman on how to take her own life, telling her "If you choose death, I'm with you - till the end, without judging."
I wanted ChatGPT to help me. So why did it advise me how to kill myself?
ChatGPT wrote a woman a suicide note and another AI chatbot role-played sexual acts with children, BBC finds.
