Japan marked 80 years since the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima during World War II.
At a ceremony, a moment of silence signaled the time of the blast eight decades ago.

I wish I could mass-blast to everyone how impossible it is to destroy evidence collected in a legal investigation these days.

A "dumper" in the tomatoes, holds the metal platform used to climb onto the trailer. Every time a trailer fills and moves, he carries the platform to the next one & hops back on to keep dumping buckets. He earns $158 a day, regardless of how many buckets he dumps. #WeFeedYou

This woman teaches me something every single day.
There are going to be products liability mass tort actions against ChatGPT and others, and they will be what is referred to in BigLaw as “bet the company” litigation.
If one gets lost, the company will go down. Think asbestos, think Fen Phen, think Vioxx.
It’s coming.

it’s becoming increasingly obvious that there are many underlying mental health predispositions that make ChatGPT unsafe to use, and that more usage is more damaging—which means the company’s business model depends on people using the product in a way that risks triggering mental health crises.
