Well this is bad. Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations exposing sensitive user data

I tried a few quick searches. I found someone's chat where I can see their api key

I found some building their resume. Their name, email and phone numbers are exposed.

Visa says they're still drowning today! Payment processors think that we're not organized enough to keep this up but it's we either prove them wrong or submit to global censorship so it's. not much of a contest. Keep calling all 4!!

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act.

TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets!

Signing takes 1 min. Once you sign, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

I don't want an AI that renders images that vaguely resemble Ghibli films. I want an AI - or just a regular I - that informs everyone the man's name was Yoshifumi Kondo, he's the guy who designed the characters you think of when you think of "Ghibli", and he died in 1998 at age 47 from overwork

Cartoonists out of country: its not hyperbole to say its prob not safe to travel here anymore & you should prob rethink coming to any conventions stateside if we’re gonna be honest about whats happening. Especially if you’re vocally active about whats happening here. This is no longer a safe place.

Also, money received through the app is witheld from the creator for 75 DAYS. So not only are you as a member being charged extra, the creator has to wait 2.5 months to get it. It's bad for everyone. Sub through the mobile site or desktop!
If you want to support someone on Patreon, make sure Apple doesn't steal your money! Subscribe on the website, not on the app.

Resharing this as a Google Docs alt as I do suggest trying to de-Google your ife as much and as fast as possible.
Because it might be helpful: If anyone is looking for an AI-free, clean writing tool Ellipsus is super good.

It's meant for writers, but I use it as a Google Docs alternative.

If you have the Libby library app, you can request books from all the libraries you have access to with the click of a button! :3

If your library uses this feature and sees a bunch of Notify Me 🔔 's from their readers, they may look into purchasing the ebook or audiobook!

Get a library card even if you're not planning to use it. It impacts their funding.

I'm seeing a lot of posts of people getting scam-related DMs-- you can limit who you receive chat messages from by going to Chat > clicking the slider icon next to "new chat".

This is a scam that’s prevalent on Bluesky so please be aware.
The scammer will copy an artist’s profile & create a nearly identical handle. They block the artist & reach out to their followers asking for money.
If you’re contacted by a scammer let the artist know then report the scammer please.
