so, who do you believe the AI or the company that made the AI Google 🤨😆

Reddit has collected a treasure trove of human interactions and conversations throughout the past 18 years and this rich data pool has been the perfect spot for companies to train large language models, otherwise known as AI chatbots. Now, Reddit wants a piece of the AI pie and will begin charging companies for API access, which is necessary to train LLMs.

A couple from Canada lost $21,000 ($15,449 in U.S. dollars) following a phony phone call from a “lawyer”: The scammer was pretending to represent their child after he allegedly killed a diplomat’s son in a car accident, and needed money for “legal fees” while their son “was in jail,”

The best line of defense is awareness. If you know about the scam and understand how it works

#ChatGPT's outage on Monday was a bit more problematic than it first appeared.

According to Bloomberg, the AI chatbot was shut down due to a bug that exposed titles of users' chat histories to other users. The titles could be seen in the sidebar on the left, which typically shows user's chat history, but the details of users' conversations with ChatGPT were not visible.

A Reddit user posted a screenshot of what the bug appeared like in their browser
