Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto Technology@lemmy.ml•The family of teenager who died by suicide alleges OpenAI's ChatGPT is to blame1·2 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.

Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•Palestinians Are Collapsing in Gaza's Streets From Israeli-Imposed Starvation CampaignEnglish11·3 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.

The main URL somehow lost a period between www and nytimes. Don’t know what happened to the archive, but I just re-created it. Should be good now. :-)
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•A Missouri Town Was Solidly Behind Trump. Then Carol Was Detained.3·5 months agoFoolish votes maybe, but not fools, if they are showing solidarity with their neighbor and coworker who happens to be undocumented. This is progress, and they will be further awakened when Trump attacks Medicaid and Medicare.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•Australian PM Albanese says Israel’s blockade of aid into Gaza is ‘an outrage’English2·5 months agoThe hashtags were added in Mastodon and I forgot to remove them in Lemmy, sorry.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•A Missouri Town Was Solidly Behind Trump. Then Carol Was Detained.1·5 months agoI think that you’re missing the point here. People who had some vision of ICE taking out violent criminals now see something different and they they are taking a stand against it. And it’s not happening to them, but to a single Chinese worker who they all love. That’s solidarity, even if they may not call it such. Something similar happened in NY state in the town of the border czar.
These events give me hope for the future. There is no point at all in finger-wagging at Trump voters. When the tariffs and Medicaid cuts come down, we will see many more people’s consciousness change.

Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•Gaza paramedics shot in upper body ‘with intent to kill’, Red Crescent saysEnglish2·6 months agoMost of us here know that, but many others beyond the Fediverse are still not convinced. Video documentation and expert testimony of horrible crimes is often effective in changing public opinion.
