Remember:
When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.
When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.
ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

LLMs don't even make writing. They make strings of words that can be pawned off as writing.
It's just so frustrating and draining.

Professor Bentley James came into our lives about 10 years ago. He wasn't a kitten then. He was older. He wasn't supposed to be mine. He was Rae and Peg's, but as we both grew into the cranky old men of the house, we became a team. I'll miss him.

“There’s never been a moment when someone’s like ‘oh, I didn’t want to let you know I really want universal child care.’ … When you say ‘I’m a moderate,’ or ‘I’m a centrist’ I immediately know you’re right-wing, and I also think you’re a coward.”

Someone could really do an adaptation of Asimov's "Liar!" that speaks to the moment we're in.

I'm pretty sure Phil Collins could do a show entirely filled with songs about his first marriage falling apart and the eventual divorce and almost leave most audiences feeling like they got a greatest hits show.

"David Brooks is not a pedophile. However, he is a blatant social climber and star****er who has no problem going to secret dinners at a pedophile's house."
Statement from the NYT, which is useful context, but still feel like you gotta mention it in the column!

I could be off base, but I feel as though many of the people who really liked the idea of soylent as an efficient way of eating food are the same kind of guys who want ai. People who don't understand the value of variety in their diet won't understand it in their creatives.

I don't understand the people who take up social media like it's a crusade. Why is my job to combat anyone? I came here to see smut and funny animal videos and laugh at jokes and read about horror movies. I already have a job. I try to avoid terrible people because they're terrible. No thanks.
