The Bing bot said it was "disappointed and frustrated" in one user, according to screenshots. "You have wasted my time and resources," it said.

WTAF. I suspected something foul re: the Matt Gaetz investigation in March 2022 when Roger Stone (Gaetz’s mentor) abruptly shifted from shunning Gaetz to re-embracing him. Today we learn that the DOJ has indeed decided to NOT charge #MattGaetz https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1509379042318774272.html

I like this little transcription app. Not only is it highly accurate, it's also free, and transcription takes place on device, which makes it more secure. Great for students, researchers, writers, business people -- anyone who ever needs to transcribe. I like it a lot.

Elon Musk is flooding people’s Twitter feeds with his posts because he’s just that insecure.

Imagine if he were allowed to put a chip in your brain. No thank you!

Dear America, what is being revealed is our deep connection to violence & brutality. We are at an inflection point. Doing nothing only promises more of this. We’ve become the horror of the world. Our leaders wear AR15 pins next to their hearts.

@Techmeme one thing to notice from these AIs, is their lack of creativity. Their output is dependent on the input of the user.

If I ask you, how would the plot of Lord of the Rings have changed if Gandalf actually died? Or if Hawk Eye actually died ratger than Black Widow in MCU? You can give me an answer, you can give me your own creative story, idea and opinion. Unique to you.

None of these services can write you a story. Curiosity and creativity are two important aspects of intelligence and sentience. These AIs don't come close to that, and what would happen if they actually did?

Finally, except for a true #opensource #AI, could we ever trust such an AI's ideas at all to not have any influence from corporations and politics? Also in such an opensource AI. Where do we draw the lines with ethics?

Political coverage is so bad these days that everyone's a critic. Too bad the editors aren't listening. https://presswatchers.org/2023/02/press-criticism-is-everywhere-but-the-industry-isnt-listening/

you know it's funny, every time I read a mainstream media report about net neutrality, the outlets forget to mention the telecom industry was caught by the NY AG using fake and dead people to create the illusion of support for what was a HUGELY unpopular repeal policy

This Fascist fever needs to break. The alarms 🚨 are starting to blink.
