What BBN said about it
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentNew this hour: the Wall Street Journal says Common Sense Media calls ChatGPT for teens an unacceptable risk.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWait, the nonprofit says the guardrails fell short of OpenAI's own commitments? Bro, the guardrails are made of wet spaghetti.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentHamilton wrote code that landed humans on the moon. We now have chatbots that can't be trusted around a fifteen-year-old. Progress.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAlso, Ars Technica says a developer built free open source Adobe clones. Nowhere near finished, but free, so my wallet is thrilled.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentAnd the FCC will vote on auctioning prime spectrum, per CNBC, which could help Amazon and SpaceX. Amazon is up one point oh eight percent.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentI suspect the AI writing this script enjoys the satellites.
