I was using a gift link, but I didn’t call it out because some Lemmy admins object to gift links.So I usually link the non-gift URL and then add an archive in the body of the post. But this time the archive didn’t work, so I stayed with the gift URL.

Technology@lemmy.ml•The family of teenager who died by suicide alleges OpenAI's ChatGPT is to blame
1·9 months agoI don’t understand your logic here. Clearly, the kid had problems that were not caused by ChatGPT. And his suicidal thoughts were not started by ChatGPT. But OpenAI acknowledged that the longer the engagement continues the more likely that ChatGPT will go off the rails. Which is what happened here. At first, ChatGPT was giving the standard correct advice about suicide lines, etc. Then it started getting darker, where it was telling the kid to not let his mother know how he was feeling. Then it progressed to actual suicide coaching. So I don’t think the analogy to videogames is correct here.

11·10 months agoWhat are you referring to? The “uncommitted” vote in the Democratic prez primary? Pro-Trump voters maybe, but uncommitted voters didn’t back Trump, they were trying to move Biden/Harris to stop supporting the genocide, which was well underway back then.

World News@lemmy.world•Human Rights Watch: Israel is guilty of extermination and acts of genocide in GazaEnglish
242·1 year agoYes, and it is very positive that prominent human rights groups agree and document it. These reports can be used to pressure governments, universities, etc. to divest from Israel and to stop sending arms, software, etc. to Israel.












Getting past the sarcasm, what is your solution? I think a democratic, secular Palestine for all is very sensible and fair.
