I need a Maintence Phase episode on this @michaelhobbes.bsky.social
It’s so funny how every study shows that ice cream is good for you but this makes scientists mad so they don’t talk about it

Remember how if a kid choked on a little plastic toy they used to stop selling the toy
Something about the two stories about ChatGPT's involvement in suicides/murder that came out this week that really stuck out to me: OpenAI basically has a boilerplate response when their product gets people killed.

Guys, I have a special & unusual request today. My cousin Sean is a union bus driver here in Los Angeles who was just FIRED in retaliation for saying he would not let masked ICE agents onto his bus to abduct riders. The fight is on to get his job back, you can help: actionnetwork.org/letters/send...

A landlord turned off Tenant Client's family's heat upon learning Client was an immigrant.
Landlord hired three different law firms to argue this was legal, then fired each one after they couldn't get our case dismissed.
This week, landlord settled for enough that Client will buy a house.

Tell me something that brought you joy this week.
Any old thing will do. Small joys are as good as big ones—sometimes even better.

It is pretty noticeable that even as mainstream opinion on Israel and Gaza finally shifts, you don’t hear the Responsible Adults apologizing for punishing all the college kids protesting the atrocities. Quite the opposite in fact!

It's apt that corporations/governments divided the internet into SFW and NSFW & are now making it all Safe For Work, because that is the defining frame they want to place on the world--everywhere you go is for Work, not pleasure or art or love or culture. You must always Work for Them, or die.
