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.

Look, I love some direct-to-streaming movies, but let's stop calling them blockbusters. They aren't. They're direct-to-video movies, which is fine! There are some great DTV movies! But calling them blockbusters is as silly as that "elevated horror" term. Horror is horror. DTV movies are DTV movies.

Always good (and amusing) to see what bumps music artists get from media - film, TV or in this case video games - use of their work.

I disagreed with exactly one (1) decision made in the entirety of Predator: Badlands, and it was 20th Century Studios spoiling the title card by putting their fuckin name in it TWICE

Yo, UK Cinema chains (and possibly all cinemas around the globe)! I'll make you a deal; you go straight to the actual film after posting up your phone advert disguised as a 'turn off your phone' respect message and DO NOT show me another fucking two adverts, and I won't roll my eyes until it hurts.

It really, REALLY should start being looked at just WHY minimum wage constantly has to be lifted. Every business walks into this news knowing that they'll have to put prices/costs up to compensate and do so before workers receive their first improved paycheck... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Minimum wage to rise again from April to £12.71 for over-21s
The move has been welcomed, but some experts say it will not cover the current cost of living.

Trump trying to force the bloated, grossly misjudged peace plan/deal through highlights his characteristics as a deeply flawed and failed 'businessman'. Any deal at the expense of anything close to a good deal. Any other President under such domestic pressure would aim for the very BEST result.

So does the Chancellor not actually know that most universities now function as landlords first and educational establishments second? Bringing both the higher education sector to its knees and killing the rental market at the same time is worse than anything Truss did.

Going back to the topic of these AI-detecting technologies some people rely on so much. A friend sent me this clip of @drtanksley.bsky.social and, uh, yeah, that's bleak. I'll admit I wasn't aware of this because I stay away from these tools and the AI discourse in general, but this is terrifying.
You think LLM-based chatbots can help students learn? Think again.
Take a few minutes to listen to Dr. @drtanksley.bsky.social clear explanation why this is very bad, harmful idea, especially for Black students.
