OpenAI and Sam Altman are being sued by British Columbia over claims that the company could have prevented a mass shooting in the Canadian province.

Not sure how to feel about this one, on balance I’d say probably fuck British Columbia as well as the rest of them? A government suing someone for not snitching is major Stasi energy, even if mass shootings are horrific.

Who the fuck is reading the blog of some Amazon executive who isn’t already on the kool-aid?

I don’t think that’s true any more. It might have been a few years ago, but he’s legalized bribery with his shitcoins etc since then.

It’s such a pissweak defense because even if you did give it permission, it still made no sense for it to schedule a pickup and tell the buyer that he was in.

I had a Samsung fridge-freezer from around 2012, and it developed a fault where it would stop trying to be cold after two days. The engineer diagnosed a faulty motherboard and wanted about 1/3rd the cost of a new fridge to fit a new one, so instead I fixed it with a timer plug that switched it off and on again every day at 3:15am

I hope the outcome is they unbrick it, not just do a payout. Reason being I own one of the recently-bricked models and it sucks donkey balls that I can’t download books I already paid for. :(

The interesting thing about this post is that it’s exactly equally as wrong whether you take it as sarcasm or at face value.

The biggest problem I’ve seen with the “use AI help but you’re ultimately responsible for what you submit” approach is that it’s damn near impossible to usefully define or enforce what “responsible” actually entails.

weirdest use of that meme format to date
