Or simply don't use the optional device.

Although I believe that the man would probably have committed suicide even without talking with an AI, people must be told that all those ChatBots are not superior intelligences, they are only as reliable as your facebook feed.
Provided with the right questions, any AI ChatBot can be made to deny the very existence of humans on Earth.
With the right questions, any AI ChatBot can tell you that dogs eat nothing by unicorn meat...
I think the problem with AI is that we call it "Artificial Intelligence" when the only intelligence found yet in AI resides in the brains of the programmers and code writers behind the projects.
Will we invent true "general artificial intelligence" one day? Maybe, but it is not yet here and probably won't be for another few decades.
And if we manage to ever invent true artificial intelligence, we must be prepared to also invent artificial psychiatrists because true AI will be prone to the same "mental illnesses" as everyone else, will be prone to lie, to greed, to laziness and even to anger... You could interact with a true AI only to find out that AI really doesn't like you and wants to kick your ass. /s

Those poor employees are going to have to ask every single customer if they’re a palm member and then have an answer for why the fuck anyone would want that

not sure how 'hand reader' can be categorized as 'contact-less'. I assume you need to touch your hand to a pad?

I shop at Whole Foods at least 2x/week, and I've not once seen a person use the palm scanner to check out.

Reply to Apple illegally fired five labor activists, union says | The workers, who were disciplined and fired for attendance-related issues, believe they were let go because of their union organizing by chrisdh79
In the U.S. union busting is totally legal by large corps.
Just look at what apple, google and amazon do. They straight fire workers who are organizing, nothing is ever done about it...

Simple solution: don’t eat at Panera. Food’s overpriced and not very good anyway.

There's a meme that shows a microsoft desktop app as an airplane cockpit full of dials and switches and the mobile app is a tiny keyboard with 3 buttons.

Reply to comment by outsidetheparty in Belgian man dies by suicide following exchanges with ChatGPT by section43
So utterly bizarre.
>"Without these conversations with the chatbot, my husband would still be here," the man's widow told La Libre. She and her late husband were both in their thirties, lived a comfortable life and had two young children.
>However, about two years ago, the first signs of trouble started to appear. The man became very eco-anxious and found refuge with ELIZA, the name given to a chatbot that uses OpenAI's ChatGPT technology, and is designed to generate human-like text and exchanges. After six weeks of intensive exchanges, he took his own life.
I'd like to see the chat logs between the two. In a matter of 6 weeks, he went from eco-anxious to taking his own life... and some how thinking it was rational to sacrifice himself so an AI would save humanity?
I would love to see what influences/propaganda he encountered that so drastically altered his perception of reality.

I think the biggest problem with AI is going to be people and how they react to it. So much misinformation on what an AI actually can and cannot do is part of the problem.

GPT 4 is not worth it right now. It takes too long. Also you can only ask like 20 questions per hour to the GPT 4, but gpt 3 has no limit and is fast enough to be useable.

Judging by your original response I doubt it. You seem way too immature to be that position.

My entire adult working life I have been a manager in unionized environments. I have fired, written up and suspended numerous union members. I have done this under three different unions and multiple union contracts. Unions don't protect lazy employees, incompetent management does.

I wonder when we can get chat GPT 5 to say “hey summarize the main points of the recent Atlantic article on chat GPT”
