I'm tired of hearing excuses about "well that model wasn't that great" or "the product is responsible [not the execs who released it]." We all know the best realistic scenario is that OpenAI pays this woman's parents a few dollars. Really OpenAI execs should be held liable for this woman's death.

Gut punch of a story about an Amazon engineer who trusted ChatGPT-4o to manage and reduce her seizure med dosages. You'd hope someone who made it into a top engineering position would have known the limits of AI circa May 2024 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/w...

I say it plainly: I do not celebrate Castro. I call Cuba what it is, an authoritarian regime, and I will fight for the Cuban families who fled it. Meanwhile, Ashley Moody backs deporting Cuban families back to the regime they escaped. #AngieforFlorida

This clown loves Tilly Norwood. Not kidding. Ignore him forever.

If you're a mutual and represent an org on the left that needs help moving to Bluesky, PLEASE reach out and I will help you get started here! We can't let technofascists destroy our reach, friends.

Sounds familiar.

Hey Meta 👋 We are currently hosting a get-out-the-vote rally in Osceola County, home to a large Puerto Rican community, and our #LatinosConAngie Instagram page was suddenly taken down while we were actively posting content from the event.

Meta strongly appears to be an enemy of democracy in the US. Proceed accordingly. If you're a politician, activist, or organization on the left, you HAVE to build your presence off of Meta and X - which basically means here and Mastodon. Bring your audience over as much as possible. It's critical.

The stakes are too high to take down pages encouraging people to vote in seven days, Meta & Instagram. #Meta #Instagram

Last year today was one of the scariest days of my life. We initially called a lawyer who wanted to work with feds to arrange a perp walk. Kat told that guy to fuck himself. Thank God for the National Lawyer's Guild, who Kat called right after. They were ready to fight the bullshit on zero notice.

Kat Abughazaleh@katmabu.bsky.social

Today is the anniversary of being told by an FBI agent that I was about to be federally indicted. I tried to look for pictures from that day but all there is the tableau of full-body stress hives all over my back. 0/10, take better pictures future Kat

This is honestly fantastic. Typically 1/3 of the people in any poll like this support the most heinous, evil bullshit imaginable. So the fact that this is only 13 percent is heartening.

What Kamala Harris proposes in not impeaching Trump is this the same reason why letting Jefferson Davis and the rest of the Confederate soldiers and leaders off the hook was a bad idea.. We've been paying for it ever since😡

Molyneux sounds like a scab.

Mike Cook@mtrc.bsky.social

I appreciate the bar is quite low but this excerpt from an interview with Molyneux about AI is almost too on the nose. Nice anecdote about a colleague he used to respect and enjoy working with, followed by an explanation of how him and everyone like him is now expendable.

With just seven days until Election Day, every minute matters. We are calling on Meta to immediately restore the page and provide an explanation for its removal. Voters deserve access to critical election information, especially in these final days. @andymstone.bsky.social /end

1. It will be a new Senate, so maybe the votes WILL be there! 2. Come on. Impeach this monstrously criminal president.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

Surprising exactly zero people, "forgive my youthful indescretions committed at age 53" guy recently sponsored a law to get 15-year-olds tried as adults. nashvillebanner.com/2024/07/15/n...

nashvillebanner.comNew Tennessee law allows 15-year-olds to be tried as adults - Nashville BannerTennessee's new law allows children aged 15 and older to be tried in adult court for nonviolent offenses. Critics argue it may not be effective and could lead to higher recidivism rates.
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

So hard to pick a favorite part of this article. Pretending that sending unsolicited dick pics at 53 was a “youthful indiscretion” is good, but don’t sleep on the argument that his wife forgave him for subjecting other women to unwanted nude photos so everyone else should too

Corporate death penalty for these murderous companies.

"She Worried About Cutting Her Medication Dose. ChatGPT Told Her to Push On." Another death from AI giving dangerous advice. It doesn't matter how "smart" someone is, AI is designed to tell people what they want to hear, to continue the interaction. archive.is/jXv3A

I cannot stop thinking about this. I cannot stop thinking about suicides and mass murders encouraged by chatbots where somehow the company that made the chatbot that encourages the violence is saying "but that's because that person was crazy." I cannot stop thinking about this.

Always vote AGAINST crypto. Trash industry, trash politics.

This time around, crypto is dumping their money into a state where resentment of billionaires and Big Tech has reached a fever pitch, thanks to an affordability crisis and massive data center build-out. buff.ly/tE8GfcO

Lot of folks (self included) expressing despair that despite aggressive prosecuting fascists ("doing everything right") Brazil was still going to get Bolsonaro-ed and the fact this guy gtfo-ed as quickly as he did should be a big signal for the AOC DOJ to go *hard* in 2029.
