I really hope Scarlett Johansson will burn OpenAI and especially Sam Altman down to the ground 🔥

That guy does whatever he wants no matter if people say no, it has to stop

What is it with Sam's in tech that steal everything left and right 🤔

Altman acts like a Bankman Fried but apparently the world is okay with it since he brings them a fun tool

“In one of those moments that you can’t believe is not satire, Antony Blinken met with Arab-American leaders and warned them that if Palestine got statehood, the US would defund the United Nations and potentially the World Food Program, plunging the developing world into starvation. It wasn’t enough for these fascists to starve innocents in Palestine, they’re now threatening to do it across the world. They would really rather kill millions more than stop doing genocide.”

@aral @rimu you're just reposting the same one source. Was there anyone else in that meeting who can corroborate what this person is saying?

Vittoria,
@Vittoria@mastodon.social avatar

@aral @rimu I guess yours is disseminating information without verifying the veracity of the claims, then..

Vittoria,
@Vittoria@mastodon.social avatar

@aral @rimu guess what, we also routinely quote Hamas, and NGOs, and UNRWA, and pretty much all the other actors involved in the conflict, plus reporters on the ground and eyewitnesses, and that's how sources work, you get at least two, preferably three..

@aral @rimu yeah man, all I am doing is pointing out that it's irresponsible to disseminate opinions as facts without verification, but you do you
