Welcome to the community for independent journalism, a place to post and engage with diverse, free news media from around the world.

The rundown:

  1. Posts should link to a current* article from a credible, independent news source. If there's a paywall, please put the official link in the URL box and add an archive link in the text body of your post. Blogs, editorials, listicles and reports are welcome.

  2. Post title should be the article headline or best fit. Add this tag if an account is needed for access: [sign-in required.]

  3. No misinformation. Provide sources when making substantial or potentially destructive claims.

  4. Be civil. Be respectful. Be cool. Instance rules apply.

  5. Tag NSFW and apply content warnings at your discretion.

*Independent journalism is generally free from government and corporate interests and is not controlled by a major media conglomerate. "Independence" is a gradient, so use your best judgement when posting.

*Current depends on whether new, publicly available information has been released since the article has last been updated. When in doubt please add the published date to the title in a tag [like this.]

According to filings at the superior court of the state of California on Tuesday, OpenAI said that “to the extent that any ‘cause’ can be attributed to this tragic event” Raine’s “injuries and harm were caused or contributed to, directly and proximately, in whole or in part, by [his] misuse, unauthorised use, unintended use, unforeseeable use, and/or improper use of ChatGPT”.

It said that its terms of use prohibited asking ChatGPT for advice about self-harm and highlighted a limitation of liability provision that states “you will not rely on output as a sole source of truth or factual information”.

Guns?

A gun is a tool whose function is to deliver lethal force on demand.

If the gun started mining your data, or chewing up your power cords, or otherwise do something that you woul not expect from a gun to do, I'd raise an eyebrow.

Much like I do when usage of an llm drives up suic8de rates, instead of just being factually inaccurate with high confidence.
