The change was to systemd-userdb (and systemd-homed but that one most distros don’t use) which is optional. You can use the init system without it. IIRC You only need it if some apps want to use user records beyond the default NSS ones.

reddit says he wasn’t banned but temporarily restricted during a password reset requirement, which showed him as banned due to a reddit bug

mental healthcare field being practically non-existent in most countries

could you elaborate on the verge?

this is not at all what i’m seeing on discord, and I think it’s worthy of note that the article’s sample is Reddit posts in r/discordapp. Discord users who use Reddit in general have a systemic bias that’s close to ours, as opposed to the majority that is young Discord users.

Citation needed.

This is a New York Times article. By default, the New York Times is the citation, just like every other MSM. And even then, this specific article does attribute it:

To understand how this happened, The New York Times interviewed more than 40 current and former OpenAI employees — executives, safety engineers, researchers. Some of these people spoke with the company’s approval, and have been working to make ChatGPT safer. Others spoke on the condition of anonymity because they feared losing their jobs.

The article only said they made a test, not that they weren’t failing it, which happens to be what the linked paper says. This is not new as LLMs also always failed a certain intelligence test devised around that same time period until ~2024.

As soon as they found experts who were willing to say something else than “don’t make a chatbot”.

That same logic is how Aaron Swartz was cornered into suicide for scraping JSTOR, something widely agreed to be a bad idea by a wide range of lawspeople including SCOTUS in its 2021 decision Van Buren v. US that struck this interpretation off the books.
