OpenAI has since made the chatbot safer, but that comes with a tradeoff: less usage.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

My “my 17 references to George Soros aren’t political” footnote is raising a lot of questions answered by my footnote.

GitHub is down but Teams is still working? Why do bad things happen to good people????
First they came for AWS
And I did not speak out
Because Canvas was down and that was fine by me.
Then they came for Cloudflare
And I did not speak out
Because I didn't need the textbook website.
Then they came for GitHub
And there were no more internet services
For me to use to get work done.
