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.

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.

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.

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.

Legit was thinking about photoshopping this very image to put the state of Florida over the guy's face.
Florida just want that bag
YaY florida?????
I'm mean, I've lived in a bunch of state, and when it comes to blatant corruption Florida is in a league by itself. And yet they are the ones suing Openai???
FYI: states lived in, PA,NJ,KY,AL,FL.
Did some poking around. The AG bringing this case stole 10 million in medicare money. This a diversion to keep a grand jury finding against him buried.
Amazed it didn’t accuse ChatGPT of being woke.
No model is capable of handling the pure unadulterated chaos that is Florida, as a native Georgian I say let the swamp people cook
Guess somebody was getting the shakes from not being the center of attention for ten seconds
Can you allow a dangerous tool to be shared openly on the internet? Chatgpt will get fined but opensource is going to get fucked I think.
You can’t fuck open source. Open source obliges the status quo, it is not subject to the status quo. Because once it’s source-available, it can’t be made unavailable. This stands because you can’t control who does what with a copy of your code, which is a good thing. I’m not talking about OSS licensing, which is also a good thing DGMW. I’m talking about your fundamental ability to broadcast your ideas, even in code, to other people’s machine via the web. That’s a powerful and fundamental ability.
To really drive the point, we need to fully socialize the open source stack. Nothing “open” should be hosted on GitHub, for example. That’s not “open,” it’s “approved.” Open is open regardless of whether you or anyone else would like to approve it or not.
You know what also allowed the Gunman to find information, ask questions about shootings, and shoot people?
The internet. Computers/Cellphones. Other Human Beings.
I get that people are looking for reasons to bash AI, because it's scary as fuck. However people step back and realize how bad some of the other technologies that we have are. There were mass shootings started long before ChatGPT became a thing.
Oh, and guns. We invented guns. That was a bad idea.
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.
