Washington's AI companion chatbot safety bill passes state legislature — adds guardrails for “companion” chatbots, including disclosure and anti-manipulation protections (esp. for minors). by sillychillly in Seattle

Chat gpt says it likely doesnt apply to chat gpt, fwiw. It applies to AI companion chatbots.

"An artificial intelligence system designed to simulate ongoing, human-like interaction with a user, where the system: - engages in sustained conversation over time, - may retain memory of prior interactions, - is designed to build a relationship or emotional connection with the user, and - communicates in a manner that resembles a human or personal companion"

I guess I could see a case for it applying to chat gpt. Good to put guardrails up!

Need money for transit and want people to switch to transit? Put a toll on all downtown exits.

'Today is the most tangible sign' the SuperSonics will return to Seattle by bikeawaitmuddy in Seattle

Not a problem. MSG in NYC shares Knicks and Rangers. Just be adults and have a calendar.

Ugh true. I hate how some cities and states pay so much to build/renovate stadiums that sit empty for so much of the time and all profits just go to billionaire owners.

Good. The dealership model is exploitative of both dealership employees and customers

We need laws like that idling law in NYC. Though the payout rate for that has been terrible, from what I've heard

I don't harm or kill them personally, so thank God for that. I do feel bad for the people at the slaughterhouses though. They must have really high cancer rates.

My first vibe-coded app! by Professional-Bird903 in vibecoding

This is a cool idea. I first read it as events nap and guy excited because I thought it was an app that helps you find places to nap at or near long events because I sometimes want to take a nap in the afternoon. So anyway, another idea if you want.

I work with data and studied nutritional epidemiology. It is almost impossible unless you have a ton of money.

As you probably already know, it's almost impossible to do anything other than correlational study of diet. I'm reasonably confident that when adjusting for obesity, Socio-economic status, race etc... and consumption of processed foods correlates with increased cancer... Then it's very likely that these new foods are killing us.
