EVERYTOWN SHOULD CHOKE ON ITS OWN PROPAGANDA: ‘I’m Sorry, Dave, I’m Afraid I Can’t Give You The Gun-Related Information You’re Looking For.’

It’s possible we’re one step closer to a future “open the pod bay doors” moment, with a report that OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has allegedly just changed its “commerce policy” with respect to firearms.

Recently, we warned that an Everytown “white paper,” published on September 28, was demanding that AI companies censor and block access to AI-stored information when responding to queries related to firearms, even if the information is entirely lawful and accurate, and divert all such inquiries to local law enforcement.

We hardly expected that AI companies would capitulate so quickly.

Well, they’re run by lefty control freaks with contempt for normals.

NONE SO BLIND:

INCENTIVES MATTER:

SHE’S JUST THE ANDREW TATE OF THE FEMOSPHERE:

OPEN THREAD: Ring in the weekend.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: Europe’s Space Rider vehicle comes crashing down during drop test. “The incident occurred during an Oct. 6 drop test of the full-scale Space Rider model, from the European Space Agency (ESA). The robotic vehicle’s initial drogue parachute deployed successfully, but its main parafoil detached during deployment, leaving the prototype unable to slow its descent before crashing into the ground, according to ESA officials. The cause of the failure remains under investigation.”

Still a few bugs in the system.

HAHAHA:

IT’S NOT THAT THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT’S IN THE VIDEOS, IT’S THAT THEY HOPE YOU DON’T KNOW.
