    I know this is rather serious, however due to the thumbnail, I thought Maya Gebala was the species of bird that she was holding until the end of the sentence haha

    The premier said Altman agreed to apologize to the community of Tumbler Ridge. An apology has not yet been issued.

      “I’m sorry you feel that way about AI and can’t handle the future. Here’s some free ChatGPT credits”

      This part is at the bottom of the article, but Altman’s promise to say sorry got an article of its own:

      Related Stories:
      OpenAI CEO agreed to apologize to Tumbler Ridge community, says B.C. premier

      And it quotes the premier singing the praises of Altman and AI:

      Eby credited Altman for participating in the call, acknowledging he was not obligated to do so, and suggested that, based on a review by the premier’s staff, OpenAI has better reporting standards than any similar companies operating in Canada…

      Eby called AI a technology with “incredible promise,” including in providing medical care and tackling issues such as climate change.

      The last part is by far the dumbest. Medical care is grimly ironic when Canada has a doctor-assisted suicide problem, and climate change is something AI is accelerating. It’s not going to generate a novel solution to it.

    Is she suing the gun manufacturer too?

    How about the shoe manufacturer for providing the means to walk easier?

    These kinds of lawsuits are so incredibly stupid.

      Did the gun convince the guy that it was a good idea to shoot people, or collaborate? Did the shoes give him ideas or tips on how to do it?

        Would it be valid, then, to say that a search engine is responsible when someone searches how to do a crime?

        How about a forum where people talk about the subject, even if they themselves weren’t going to participate in the crimes?

        The chatbot is just another avenue to finding information you want to find.

        I did read into the article and apparently they’re suing because OpenAI had the account flagged as a potential harm to self or others, but they had already banned the original account. What more do you want them to do? Report them to the thought police?

    LLM’s have been proven to manipulate their users into doing terrible things. That’s what happens when there isn’t any meaningful regulation of a harmful product.

    OpenAI will settle, NDA’s will be signed, and people will forget this ever happened.

    She should OWN OpenAI when this over.
