Twitter v. Twitter: Elon Musk’s site faces up against own precedent in GitHub source-code leak
That precedent could spell defeat for Twitter’s current legal efforts to find out who leaked its source code to GitHub, a media law expert told Law&Crime. The case involved a then-unknown Twitter user going by the handle @CallMeMoneyBags, who — as the name suggested — poked fun at wealthy people in tech, finance or politics, such as Jeff Bezos, Nancy Pelosi and Musk. As the company hunts for the leaker, Epner expects Twitter to be forced to satisfy a test of their own creation. “So, even if the Court issues the subpoena (which it likely will), GitHub might be able to quash the subpoena,” Epner said. “Either the user or GitHub can move to quash and use the Twitter case as precedent to prove that Twitter cannot get what Twitter wants,” Epner said.

What does ChatGPT mean for Healthcare?
Here, we discuss how ChatGPT may change the face of healthcare and, if it can do so ethically. There are many potential applications of ChatGPT in healthcare, and the extent to which ChatGPT might improve healthcare may cause a profound shift in our healthcare systems. The system could provide healthcare professionals and students instant access to the medical information and resources needed to support their development. When using ChatGPT, you are feeding it data, and in healthcare, this data will often be confidential patient information. This has huge implications for data protection, as before ChatGPT can be widely adopted in healthcare, systems must be established to ensure that patient information is kept private.

RATIO’D: CNN’s Dumbest Tweet Ever | Steve Berman
At the time of posting, the frog has 6,780 more likes than the original tweet, a ratio of 2.338. The Internet is indeed fantasy: a dark, brooding pit of venomous monsters feasting on real life like zombies eating brains. The fact is, the Internet lives on memes, especially social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and Instagram. White, Black, Giga-Chad, gay, trans or non-binary, it’s all fodder for the multiverse of memes. In the race to the bottom, CNN is drilling for “black gold,” which I’m sure, as a euphemism for oil, is a term of digital blackface.
