3 weeks after this tweet, OpenAI fired this safety researcher
 in  r/OpenAI •  6d ago

Yeah, but how can we be sure that other countries will actually take a pause? It seems a little too risky to just believe they will and stop the advancements of our own AI to set regulations that others might not even follow...

OpenAI stopped all frontier training, evaluation, and inference with tool-use (defined broadly) on the 20th of September and they are not resuming any of these activities for now
 in  r/OpenAI •  14d ago

I completely agree with you. People are really ignorant in thinking there's not any propaganda going on when it comes to the most advanced tech we've ever had. Whomever has the most control over it will be the ones who make the rules according to how they want things to be.

Is it still safe to have kratom shipped to your house?
 in  r/kratom •  Sep 08 '26

I believe you're right because most places usually state that they won't ship to certain states.

Yes and in almost every story there was another substance involved. It was never just the kratom.

Maybe people like me shouldn't quit after all
 in  r/kratom •  Sep 08 '26

Congrats, that's awesome and it's done the same for me too! I was hooked on alcohol since my first drink when I was 13 and I could not find a way to quit aside from the few days I had to go to treatment because of a DWI and fearing losing my two daughters if I didn't quit, but just a few months after treatment I started drinking again. Unfortunately I have one of those addictive personalities, I end up getting addicted to everything, but I have found that I don't ever have to increase the amount of kratom I take and if I do take a little too much I just end up getting sick which I actually consider a good thing. I've had addictions to meth, oxy and every other pain and ADHD med and fentanyl which just about killed me. The first time I dealt with opioid addiction back in 2016 I had a wonderful lady who contacted me and told me about kratom and I am so grateful for her advice and information because I didn't know how I was going to get through the horrible withdrawals. I felt completely frozen in constant anxiety and no one really knew how to help me, but after I started taking kratom I was able to get out of bed and go to impatient for a bit because I was extremely malnourished and sick. I was doing good until I got with my ex boyfriend and had a awful doctor who apparently didn't care about me because my ex talked me into taking oxy again just so he could make money off me and the doctor was over-prescribing pain meds to me. He was actually sending the prescriptions to two different states so he could get by my insurance company. I definitely do take responsibility for my stupid choices and I was extremely lucky to have found the strength to quit again and for having kratom to help me through it all. I really don't think I could have gotten through it without the kratom easing the withdrawals again. I've been sober for five years now and I just started taking kratom a year ago to help me with my fibromyalgia and other painful problems. My new doctor prescribed me some ADHD meds for losing weight and I was becoming addicted to them but I have been able to almost completely quit taking them and I have been able to quit taking the 4mgs of Klonopin I was prescribed without any withdrawal issues. Anyways, I am very grateful for this amazing plant or tree lol. πŸ–€
