Using this tech is another way of wearing a T-shirt that says "I am stupid and have no judgment"
The State Department said it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted.
An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.

nothing in the US is getting better until we start start treating this kind of thing as what it is: a form of bribery
A 22-year-old just got a $30 million investment valuing his new futures exchange at $300 million.
He graduated Stanford, wrote for Thiel's Stanford Review, interned at Andreessen Horowitz.
His mom? Pro-crypto Sen. Gillibrand, D-NY.
Bipartisan capture in full bloom.

Sometimes people will play dumb about why Israel gets singled out as a uniquely bad actor. Our government having a uniquely extremist supportive relationship with theirs is part of the reason. The other part is that their officials post “I AM HITLER” on American social media all day long

The matter-of-fact way she asks what investors should do if Trump destroys Iran. Absolutely wild.
"Let's talk about tonight, this deadline that President Trump has set 8 p.m., has threatened to destroy a civilization. How does an investor process that? Is it a bigger upside risk or downside risk?"

The thing about there needing to be a path of redemption for people who have been “canceled” is: there already is a path to redemption and it’s called “redeeming yourself.” The path is open! No one is blocking that! You just have to do it!

Ever wonder how to get rid of a mattress? Or how to find resources for a neighbor in need? Call 311.
311 is contacted 100,000 times every day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. No call is too small.
So on the anniversary of 311 (3/11), I decided to answer some of those calls myself.
