This would be valuable context for journalist to include, if true. I personally know someone who died via assisted suicide. She had terminal cancer, and went through a very thorough vetting and consultation before undergoing the process. If this person was not afforded such care, that would terrible.

Maybe he was just VERY bad at his job?

I recently went through a 8 day power outage from hurricane Milton.

I bought an Anker f2000. It retails new for ~$2000. Even that can only power my fridge for maybe 23 hours.

I don't own one, but I might recommend these coolers from Anker instead. I'd buy one if I had the space. link to refurbished unit

It last 42 hours on battery, can be charged via the car or solar, goes down to freezer temps, and the battery is detachable and can be used to charge your devices. It would be much easier to keep essentials cold for a week using this, even if it's small, and it would be great for car camping.

The bizarre thing about this case is that no reporting outlet seems to explain why anyone was arrested. Assisted suicide is legal in the country under these circumstances.

Red flags for sure, but whenever I see stuff like this, I do wish that sex and gender could just not exist for a while. Like, wouldn't it be cool if this dude and his new buddy could just play some gosh darn pickle ball without the subtext that he has to be cheating on his wife?

Here is a direct quote from openai:

"In addition to our efforts to direct people to reliable sources of information, we also worked to ensure ChatGPT did not express political preferences or recommend candidates even when asked explicitly."

It's not a conspiracy. It was explicitly thier policy not to have the ai discuss these subjects in meaningful detail leading up to the election, even when the facts were not up for debate. Everyone using gpt during that period of time was unlikely to receive meaningful information on anything Trump related, such as the legitimacy of Biden's election. I know because I tried.

This is ostentatiously there to protect voters from fake news. I'm sure it does in some cases, but I'm sure China would say the same thing.

I'm not pro China, I'm suggesting that every country engages in these shenanigans.

Edit it is obvious that a 100 billion dollar company like openai with it's multude of partnerships with news companies could have made gpt communicate accurate and genuinely critical news regarding Trump, but that would be bad for business.

I found a picture of a similar device. No idea if it's a photo op or was really used like the picture suggest.

I could be entirely wrong about this, as it's a dim memory, but I think this sort of device was used as a pilot teaching tool in WWII.
