In other news, a lengthy report about Richard Stallman liking kids just dropped.
Hacker News has a thread on it. Its a dumpster fire, as expected.
Something you always have to consider, even if it is a shitty doctor for our standards, it might still be better than no doctor.
No doctor means your shit doesn’t get treated. A false doctor (e.g. alternative medicine) gives you a false sense of hope at best and ruins your health at worst.
oh yeah she got two years’ jail for her part in stealing eleven fucking billion with a B dollars
A slap on the wrist compared to Sam Bankman-Fried’s twenty-five years. Turns out working with the feds, admitting your guilt and knowing when to fold 'em are pretty important when karma finally catches up with you.
If these nuclear plants manage to come to fruition, it’ll be the sole miniscule silver lining of the bubble.

Tenner says we’re seeing them in GTA 6 for obvious reasons
Character.AI Is Hosting Pedophile Chatbots That Groom Users Who Say They’re Underage

Okay, personal thoughts:
This is just gut instinct, but it feels like generative AI is going to end up becoming a legal minefield once the many lawsuits facing OpenAI and others wrap up. Between the likes of Nashville’s ELVIS Act, the federal bill for the COPIED Act, the solid case for denying Fair Use protection, and the absolute flood of lawsuits coming down on the AI industry, I suspect gen-AI will come to be seen by would-be investors as legally risky at best and a lawsuit generator at worst.
Also, Musk would’ve been much better off commissioning someone to make the image he wanted rather than grabbing a screencap Aicon openly said he was not allowed to use and laundering it through some autoplag. Moral and legal issues aside, it would have given something much less ugly to look at.
In other news, Hindenburg Research just put out a truly damning report on Roblox, aptly titled “Roblox: Inflated Key Metrics For Wall Street And A Pedophile Hellscape For Kids”, and the markets have responded.
