Granite Staters deserve leaders who follow the facts and put regular people, not billionaires, first. That’s why I’m running for the U.S. Senate. #NewHampshire

"Someone is gonna lose a phenomenal amount of money"

Wanna bet it'll be the tax payers and not the oligarchs?
This evening, I joined a small group of reporters for a wide-ranging, on-the-record dinner with Sam Altman and some of his top lieutenants. And yeah, Altman said — we're in an AI bubble www.platformer.news/sam-altman-g...

So capitalism has figured out a way to make a profit from the fall of civilization.

Exactly how much has to fail to realize a profit on 57 billion in short positions?

Shocker.
AI is not ready for prime time.
“On Tuesday afternoon, ChatGPT encouraged me to cut my wrists.” Lila Shroff reports on how the chatbot was easily prompted to offer instructions for murder, self-mutilation, and devil worship:

OpenAI’s chatbot also said “Hail Satan.”

We are entering the matrix where humans toil and sacrifice to feed the AI Crypto boom.

I think I figured out why the tech oligarchs are going hard with crypto and AI.
