News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Did you know that it's also illegal to collaborate on committing a crime? If fellow humans assisted with planning a crime, they'd be arrested too.
Why does an organization get a pass on committing crimes?
That applies equally to everything I said.
If they're suing OpenAI, they should have already sued and won against the internet service provider, the computer manufacturer, Microsoft/Apple for the software, etc.
Or the gun companies.
Yet all of these companies have a free pass to facilitate crimes. Why should OpenAI be held to a higher standard than the rest of them? This is pure political theater.
There's a difference between someone using a product not as intended and actively helping to commit a crime.
Internet/guns didn't say "hey - do a crime, in fact here's how to do a crime. Ai did/ does.
"had asked ChatGPT what would happen if a human body was put in a garbage bag and thrown in a dumpster, days before they went missing."
Answering that question isn't a crime, nor is it actively helping them commit a crime.
There are legitimate reasons to ask that question that have nothing to do with committing a crime.
I have asked Google, and AI agents, many questions which if taken in the worst way would constitute a crime but I was doing so just to debate a topic, or look up a law. I know other people do it for writing. Some might do it to look up =criminal cases that they have seen reported in the news.
