This is not acceptable, plain and simple.
I would like to remind Sam Altman that humans living their life is the primary target. Having new technologies is way down the list of priorities.
The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as “preventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime. You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.
To hell with AI, more innovation like this please.

- white skin does not protect you
- detention may mean a cell shared with 70 people, fighting over food, without medical supplies

Chancellor Merz warned that the war in Ukraine could last much longer, stating, “We are trying to end it as soon as possible—but certainly not at the price of Ukraine’s capitulation.” He stressed that while the war could end tomorrow if Ukraine surrendered, that would only invite further aggression: “The next country would be targeted the day after—and soon after, it would be us. That is not an option.”
Holy crap! In a world of institutional boot lickers, be ACOG.
The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, rather than abandon #DEI and rubber stamp anti-science policies, told the #Trump regime to stick their federal funding where the sun doesn't shine. 🍑
ACOG and AAP are being everything our media and academic leaders are not.
🇺🇸 “We need at least 2 guns for each American because imagine if the government threatened you, you gotta defend yourself.”
Government is threatening people, meanwhile people with the guns: “YEAH MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”
