"Sometimes the most important transitions are visible not in moments of crisis, but in moments where crisis quietly fails to appear."

I cannot overstate how much Microsoft doubling down on AI has permanently damaged their reputation, and then attacking their fans over the trend of "Microslop".. truly a worthless company. Without vision or purpose.

if your product can induce suicides, I think it's not sufficient to put a label on it saying, "warning, don't use this for suicides."
In case you needed one more reason not to use AI …
The CEO of ChatGPT is blaming a teen’s suicide on his failure to follow the terms of service:
Adam Raine, 16, told ChatGPT he was suicidal and the AI bot told him his feelings were valid and even provided suggestions and detailed instructions.
