They want a captive market in schools/universities and for those institutions to eventually automate education with their chatbots.
We are TRAINING these LLMs in preparation for our redundancy, and experimenting with the health and futures of children while we do it

"Why would OpenAI and Microsoft spend $23 million to give 'free training' on how to use AI to teachers? Because they love teachers? No. Because they want to get their products into public schools in an attempt to cultivate the education market."
I maintain that we are in grave danger due not only to the trends noted by @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social in this piece, but by the failure of the Democratic party 1) to grasp these dangers and act in advance to prevent or minimize them; (1)

'I found hell': the women ensnared in Albania's global sex trade
Empowered by the global reach of cybercrime, criminal networks are using Albania as a transit point to exploit women from other nations around the world.

I can't tell you if releasing the Amelia Earhart files was done with the purest of intentions
It's worth noting that Rep. Kimberlyn King-Hinds, the delegate from the Mariana Islands, specifically asked for these to be declassified in August.

Seeking more light on the Marianas role in the Amelia Earhart story
A few weeks ago, I met with members of the community who have spent years seeking answers about the disappearance of American aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart—particularly the pieces of her story tied to the Marianas. While much remains unknown, many of our elders remain firm in their belief that she was seen on Saipan, and that our islands may hold a key role in this chapter of American history. During our meeting, I committed to supporting efforts to uncover the truth.
