Remember:
When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.
When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.
ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

The internet is revolutionary to free speech because it empowers individuals and citizens to route around censorship in all its forms—even a captured “free” press.
This is why private platform governance; law on internet access or online content, and anonymity online will always matter.

Fun fact: It’s easy to keep premiums low when you only have to insure healthy people.
LANKFORD: In 2010, before Obamacare kicked in, the normal healthcare premium was $215.
HUNT: Right. But insurance companies could refuse to cover you for a preexisting condition

First, it is not what Congress "asked for." It is what a federal statute REQUIRES.
Second, WTF does "spirit but not intent" even mean?
CBS bent a knee and paid Trump, it has a new owner who wants to please Trump, and sadly this is the result.

Imagine being a journalist and thinking that withholding evidence is "complying with the spirit if not the intent" of a law and not, say, a sign that criminals might be meddling with or destroying the evidence they're withholding.

Here in Delaware we have a statue of Thomas Garrett, a white man found guilty of obstructing the recapture of fugitives from slavery – ordered to pay damages to the point of ruin for it.
We don't, to my knowledge, have any statues celebrating the judges or jury members who found him guilty.
