"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

Absolutely mind-buggering how many people are happy going on the public record with their opinion that that grown-ass adults doing whatever they want with their own bodies is an Abomination Unto Nuggan, but sex-trafficking teenage girls is a bit naughty, and they should have kept quieter about it.

as a computer scientist, i am BEGGING people to realize that there is no cognition inside of an LLM
no reasoning, no thought process, no self-awareness
I read a lot of arguments (for AND against) LLMs, and both sides seem to think there’s a consciousness or intentionality or even a moral alignment

"Made a $12 Billion Loss" is an all-timer of corporate doublespeak
ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.”
That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.”
