“Great work by the X/Twitter team”
“@JeremyDBoreing @realDailyWire This was a mistake by many people at Twitter. It is definitely allowed.

“@_hawko False. Twitter spends $13M/year on food service for SF HQ. Badge in records show peak occupancy was 25%, average occupancy below 10%. There are more people preparing breakfast than eating breakfast. They don’t even bother serving dinner, because there is no one in the building.”
“@WholeMarsBlog The people of Twitter strongly agree that Twitter needs to be fixed”

[@thetimes] Stein-Erik Soelberg committed murder-suicide after spending hours a day talking to the chatbot and sharing his delusions. Now the victim’s estate is suing OpenAI https://www.thetimes.com/us/news-today/article/dad-killed-grandmother-chatgpt-open-ai-zfnrgq8dz?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1768655649”
