There’s some cleverness behind it. The government is legally mandated to only refer to AI as SI, so that will theoretically boost the value of the squatted domains among the people obsessed with the stuff.
Even a gold rush can enrich a shovel salesman.
Even farther back - the biggest chunk was bought all the way back in July !
OpenAI is a megacorporation that pays people to read through your conversations, and flagged the killer’s account for threats of violence, but failed to follow up.
Can you explain how OpenAI is not guilty of negligence when they sell a product that promises they are careful?
People have been discussing it for months. I haven’t noticed it until now. Apparently you haven’t either… So I think you won’t be affected until you do something major.
It wouldn’t be such a huge insult if the company wasn’t positioning itself as the Only Ethical Alternative, while providing this interface that nearly makes Microsoft Edge look refined by comparison
What’s up with this deflection and corporate defense?
This article is all about negligence. OpenAI’s negligence.
If you believe they should escape criticism, could you please explain why, rather than using sarcasm?
The prime minister was asked if Altman apologised.
“Yes, he clearly … we can get into word games, but he clearly accepted that the company had not done good enough,” Albanese said.
Yeah, don’t worry, Americans don’t know what he’s actually saying half the time either.
Albanese said the incident was complex and unprecedented.
“It was a shock that it occurred because it was real and serious,” he said.
“But it also, I think, was something that had been predicted, including by the AI companies themselves.”
Right again. If only they could figure out what to do about it.
Australia is one of the countries banning teens from social media. Shouldn’t they be able to ban OpenAI from their country too? Just give Sammy and Co a restraining order? Certainly makes more sense than the social media stuff, as companies can actually be held liable for things they intentionally do.
I think you’re out of luck if you’re looking for a drop-in replacement for Google Play Services if you’re on a device that prevents you from uninstalling it entirely. Which appears to be the scenario you’re in right now. MicroG wants to sit where Play Services is, and without root, you can’t delete it.
I was just surprised that was your standard, not whining.
But if you want to call the article “misleading” and “utterly ridiculous” to criticize them, then that’s over the threshold from odd opinion to bad prescription
Sergey Brin acquired a $51 million waterfront mansion on Allison Island in Miami and listed Nevada as his official residence. He co-founded opposition PAC Building a Better California, which Fortune reported had raised more than $100 million as of August 2026, and told the New York Times, “I fled socialism with my family in 1979 and know the devastating, oppressive society it created in the Soviet Union.”
Yeah socialism is terrible. With its constant surveillance panopticon, and oligarchs who are above the law, and… Wait that’s just America.
You’re only slightly annoyed by an ad that requires you to subscribe to a service with a free trial, then cancel the trial, to remove?
And I thought any ad on a $2000 product was too much, even it it was as simple as closing with an X
“Wouldn’t ever be me,” I think smugly, opening the menu on my FOSS Firefox browser and being greeted with…
Alternatively, tech companies have run out of things to monopolize besides human intelligence and creativity themselves, and can apparently offer a pale imitation.
When Sam Altman says he needs his product to think on his behalf when it comes to raising a child, is he lying or is he really that seduced by ChatGPT? I don’t think it really matters.
Okay I guess, but how about we have one regardless of the latest snake oil promises?
Agree with the first paragraph. Jacob Coxon (allegedly not a grifter) claims Anthropic and OpenAI are racing towards evil superintelligence, so both companies should be in trouble by now and their CEOs should be imprisoned or…
… What’s this? Coxon is now calling for the companies to regulate themselves? The ones he doesn’t trust? That’s odd.
Billionaires desperately want to create slavery again, don’t they
Instance registration requirements check out.
I find that having my own domain would just create the same problem all over again plus a couple more (read: registering for and maintaining that domain, especially while trying to do that privately)… I appreciate the clarification though, the fact they give you a free account in conjunction with a forwarding service of my choice is thoughtful at least.
Still a feature I can pay for and have paid for, if they ever felt like expanding the domains they provided.
Considering it’s the domain for Slovenia, it’s understandable you’d assume L instead of i… Had double-check it myself.
Wonder how many .SL domains are out there and whether they have similar names for a much lower price.
