incredible that these guys have a massive hard on for a country that, if it were a state, would rank behind kansas in terms of wealth and which would be a total backwater if it weren’t economically integrated with more functional countries

Michelle Carter was sent to prison for less than what ChatGPT has done repeatedly.
I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

It sure would be great if this rich blowhard would do more than run his big mouth as his own state police brutalize peaceful protesters and run security for the fucking Gestapo in violation of his own states laws. Can't believe y'all think this is your great white hope.
