ChatGPT is shedding users fast. Since yesterday alone, estimates suggest more than a million accounts have been deleted and the boycott continues to gain momentum. Incredible work, everyone!

New Yorkers: if you can do so safely, take a moment to step outside (even on your front stoop) for a moment and appreciate how quiet the city is right now. ❄️

Cities aren't loud. Cars are loud.

Her posts, flagged by an automated review system, alarmed employees at OpenAI. Internally, about a dozen staffers debated whether to take action on Van Rootselaar’s posts. Some employees interpreted Van Rootselaar’s writings as an indication of potential real-world violence, and urged leaders to alert Canadian law enforcement about her behavior, the people familiar with the matter said.

Oh my god.

I wonder if they didn't turn her in because chatgpt was helping her plan a shooting and they didn't want the scrutiny.

this is why the whole β€œoh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit

you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table

you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Trans athletes may not have fitness advantage in women’s sport, landmark study finds Findings suggest physical performance in trans women converges toward that of cis women over time

The only way it makes sense to fund ICE, is if:

1) You have not heard or read the words directly from the people that command ICE, that they intend to use the force for ethnic cleansing and extra-judicial violence.

2) You have heard and read their words, but you don't believe that they mean it.

A Winter of Anguish for Minneapolis Children

β€œStudents used to ask me for help navigating friendships,” Tracy Xiong, a social worker at Highland Elementary School, told reporters on Tuesday. β€œNow they ask me how to cope with ICE breaking apart their families and taking their friends.”

Ron filipkowski writing hunger games fanfic on bluesky: β€œThis giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for "illegals trying to vote."”

β€œThis giant ICE army” you can’t convince me this guy isn’t an op. It’s at 20k right now with shitty morale and they’re struggling to overpower the 46th most populous city in the US.

It’s irresponsible to scaremonger like this, but breathless fanfic is more fun than doing the work I guess.

The number of Gestapo in Germany was 32,000. The population was 70 million. That's one Gestapo for every 2200 citizens.

The number of ICE agents is 20,000. The population of the US is 348 million. That's one ICE agent for every 17,000 citizens.

There are more of us.
