“Some lawmakers are concerned” might be the defining phrase of this era. They have subpoena power, impeachment power. If not now, whenever will these concerned lawmakers act?

Btw "had an issue stopping my cybertruck from a low speed the other day" is a lot of words for saying "my brakes failed." Making a choice between deliberately crashing your car or plunging to "probable death" isn't a normal consumer experience for people who own cars.
joining the "cybertruck owners only" group on fb is one of the best decisions i've ever made. every so often when i'm scrolling through fb getting pissed off, i get to see a little treat like this

At what point does ChatGPT (and its cohort) come with required warnings like tobacco or alcohol? I'm guessing never, since social media apps have caused similar human destruction with no sustained effort to regulate their usage. These are deeply unhealthy applications for many people.
74 suicide warnings and 243 mentions of hanging: What ChatGPT said to a suicidal teen
Analysis of high-schooler Adam Raine’s ChatGPT account by attorneys for his parents shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

Hunger and food insecurity — for anyone, but especially children — is abjectly immoral in a society that supports and rewards extreme wealth.
I say his gently, but…
There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry.
Not because its government doesn’t fix it —
but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost.
That’s the part that sits wrong.

When CBS News initially caved on the Jeffrey Wigand interview, other major outlets covered it like the scandal it was. Journalists were understandably pissed that journalism was getting snuffed out--and a source hung out to dry. Check out this Frank Rich column: www.nytimes.com/1996/02/03/o...

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense
One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

This is a bad policy proposal that would enable grifters and trolls to target, harass, and dox teachers in higher ed (many of who get paid peanuts and have zero institutional protections.) It’s also a malicious attack on academic freedom. #highered
