Netflix Sees Spike In Subscription Cancellations: Here's Why

Netflix is experiencing a surge in subscription cancellations over its animated series Dead End: Paranormal Park and controversial remarks by the show's creator, Hamish Steele. Last month, Steele sparked outrage when he commented on the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, calling him a "Nazi." The remarks did not sit well with many viewers, prompting some to cancel their subscriptions to the OTT giant as a mark of protest. When UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer paid tribute to Kirk in his social media post, Steele wrote, "Why the f**k are you even commenting on this, d***k***d? You sympathy for any of the families being slaughtered by your weapons but a random Nazi gets shot and its public statement. You're such a ducking shit evil."

ChatGPT Talks Man Out Of Quitting Job For 'Awful' Business Idea

A few weeks back, ChatGPT CEO Sam Altman called out the AI model for being too "sycophant-y" as it turned into a 'yes-man', instead of a rational chatbot. As the fixes were applied, it appears that ChatGPT is back to its best and helping users not take irrational risks. A Reddit user recently presented a business idea to ChatGPT, only to be told it was not a great venture and that he did not need to quit his job.

The OP posted screenshots of the chat with the AI model, captioning it, "I told ChatGPT I was going to quit my job to pursue an awful business plan".

"You know how some people have lids that don't have jars that fit them? What if we looked for people with jars that fit those lids. I think this would be very lucrative," read the pitch, posted in the r/ChatGPT subreddit.

The chatbot responded with cautious optimism by calling the idea "a fascinating metaphor" and "kind of brilliant in a poetic way," before clarifying: "You're talking about a real problem..."

However, the AI bot quickly pulled up things when the OP said: "I'm going to quit my job to persue this."

The AI, in a serious and direct response, said: "Simon, do not quit your job to pursue this idea. At least, not yet."

When the user said he had sent the resignation email, the large language model (LLM) powered chatbot suggested ways to mend the situation.

"If there's any ambiguity, we can still roll this back. Even if it was clear-cut, you can still send a follow-up saying..."

I told chatGPT I was going to quit my job to pursue an awful business plan.

Social media reacts

As the post went viral, social media users could not contain their laughter and praised the AI chatbot for stopping the OP from quitting his job.

"An idea so bad, even ChatGPT went 'hol up'" said one user while another added: "GPT being the supportive, optimistic friend, then panicking when they realise they were a little too supportive."

A third commented: "Honestly surprising, given that this is 4o, I expected it to be like "what a great idea, you are such a visionary, future generations will read about you in history books!"

Notably, the 4o model was updated and improved in both intelligence and personality last month, with the company hoping to improve overall user experience.

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...
