"ends legal and medical advice on ChatGPT" reads like ChatGPT won't... give you legal and/or medical advice. But the article says it's a change in Ts&Cs, which again puts the onus on users not to do the thing that it provides.

Excerpt of text from the CTV story: "The AI research company updated its usage policies on Oct. 29 to clarify that users of ChatGPT can’t use the service for “tailored advice that requires a license, such as legal or medical advice, without appropriate involvement by a licensed professional.""

Timeline cleanse! Post a beautiful or adorable thing, please.
The Milky Way above Crater Lake, Oregon. It arcs from the horizon to the left, and in the background there's the silhouette of a mountain. The scale of it fills you with awe, you're so small in comparison.

It's a screengrab of Colin Baker as Doctor Who in 1963. I think he looks a bit like the way Mark Zuckerberg looks in the quoted post. Curly hair. Nose thing. Somewhat imperious. All that jazz.

Twelve year olds. They're twelve:

"In response to HuffPost’s query about who suggested Budapest, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded, “Your mom did,” and White House communications director Steven Cheung replied: “Your mom.”"

Fine Benioff can apologize for calling on the national guard, but judge him on this, too:

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...
NYT: On Thursday, Mr. Benioff said he had never been progressive even if many San Franciscans thought he was. He said he was a longtime Republican before switching to become an independent voter. At the end of the interview, he turned to a public relations executive. He could be heard asking why her mouth was wide open and if he had said anything he shouldn’t have. “What about the political questions?” he asked. “Too spicy?” Then he hung up.

Spam texts are getting more personal...
A spam text message. It reads: Hi hi! Do your parents still praise you... (They're probably just disappointed in you) ~.~

"Can't you take a joke?"
It's the Goose Meme again! Top panel: close-up on a goose's head. The goose is saying: "What's the joke, Vance?" Bottom panel: Someone in a puffy jacket is running out of frame to the left. The goose is on the right, head down low, chasing the person running out of frame. The goose is yelling: "What's the fucking joke?!"

T. Ocellus, the "eyeball alien" from the FX show Alien: Earth (2025). It is what looks like an eyeball (iris, pupil, white sphere) mounted on flexible tentacles that recall an octopus, there are at least 7 tentacles.

Wait I think I'm figuring it out.
CHOTINER: It’s at that point that Cyberdyne was clearly out-competing what you’ve described as the legacy, traditional military-industrial complex. And you allied yourself to Peter Thiel’s politics. Me: Well, the thing about Thiel is he has a very clear vision. Very clear. You have to admire that, aside from his politics. We don’t believe — as an integrated autonomous weapons systems provider — that politics should come into what we do. We simply provide the tools. It’s not up to us to have a point of view on Thiel, who’s been incredibly important to us in terms of business strategy. CHOTINER: And this approach was successful? Me: Yes. In three years we became the largest supplier of military computer systems. CHOTINER: Including stealth bombers.

Never change, Orange Place. This time about self-driving trucks.

"Is it me who has the wrong understanding of the world? No, it is the world. The world must be wrong."
Screenshot of a comment from Hacker News. It reads: When Tesla demoed (via video) self-driving in 2016 with a claim "The person in the driver’s seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself" and then when they unveiled Semi in 2017 - I tweeted out and honestly thought that trucking industry is changed forever and it doesn't make sense to be starting in trucking industry. It's almost end of 2025 and either nothing out of it or just a small part of it panned out. I think we all have become hyper-optimistic on technology. We want this tech to work and we want it to change the world in some fundamental way, but either things are moving very slowly or not at all.
