For people wondering when the AI bubble is going to pop, I present you with this message, received by a paid-in-full customer of OpenAI. Not a good look when you have to tell paying customers you've run out of resources.

So this is weird: I got an email from USPassportRenewal@state.gov claiming "Our records indicate your U.S. passport will expire within 1 year." This is wrong - my passport is good for another six years. Anybody else seen this? @alt18f.bsky.social

Setting aside all the jokes that one could make, can you imagine being asked "In your view, should 4 million people, who along with their ancestors have only ever lived here, be deported" and being like "gee, maybe?"
