Despite presenting itself as an expert in dosing and interactions, and despite acknowledging his state of being high, ChatGPT did not tell him that this recommended combination would likely kill him.” -Santa Clara County has become the latest entity to sue Meta over scam ads on Facebook and Instagram, alleging that the company has profited from "a vast ecosystem of scam ads" that have defrauded senior citizens and other vulnerable people. -Google is in negotiations with SpaceX to secure the company's help in its own nascent effort to put orbital data centers in space.
