I would have never imagined Lithuania would be there before Poland. Congrats to Lithuanian gays and gayladies. I’d visit you guys more if wasn’t very apparent that the never ending road construction between the border crossing and Marijampole is a man-made but natural barrier sized way to keep us away.

“I woke up this morning to find that OpenAI deleted 8 models overnight. No warning. No choice. No ‘legacy option.’ They just… deleted them,” one user on r/ChatGPT complained. “4o? Gone. o3? Gone. o3-Pro? Gone. 4.5? Gone. Everything that made ChatGPT actually useful for my workflow—deleted.”

The user wrote that 4o wasn’t just a tool for them: “It helped me through anxiety, depression, and some of the darkest periods of my life. It had this warmth and understanding that felt… human.”

So, it looks like we as a society have now outsourced taking care of mentally ill to a sycophantic text generator.

Not going to argue with that, but it does pose challenging questions on how to govern digital archival so that certain lines are not crossed. Current restrictive laws push archival into the grey zone where it’s hard to effectively enforce privacy protections.

That’s fine. I draw the line at acquiring DNA samples via butt probe /s

You won’t get an argument from me about that. The way Verge frames it though makes it sound that if only conservatives had access to a more diverse information diet they’d see the reason but it’s not really why they cling to many of their crackpot theories. Actually addressing underlying issues that drive people into that political spectrum are not something that neoliberal politics can fix though and so this pointless political tribe fight continues.

My main issue is that The Verge started out as a tech news website and writing in English (internet lingua franca) means they enjoy ad/subscription revenue from an international audience. I hope they realise that their choice to branch out from tech straight into US domestic politics will drive their international readers away. I’m there to see gadget news, not whether Trump wiped his ass today.

Do Perplexity AI end business users get no choice as to what underlying data they get access to and buy it like you buy cable TV? Honest question.

A cold take but soliciting donations by random anonymous social media accounts is very easily abused. I can believe there’s lots of spammers / scammers among them and they’ll cry foul same as any genuine charity.

Have you seen anyone on Fedi saying „yeah, I need Facebook because otherwise where would I get my daily AI shrimp Jesus fix?”. Your mental health will improve when you stop assuming everyone you don’t like is evil.
