I did a cover version of Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars," which I am reliably informed is now a 20-year-old song, but this is impossible, 2006 was just a couple of years ago, right
(Also for fun in this cover you can hear me play guitar, and bass, if you were ever curious what that might sound like)

One day you have Sam Altman denigrating humanity to defend AI. The next, WSJ reveals OpenAI could have alerted Canadian police of a potential mass shooter, but refused pressure from employees. That person went on to kill 8 people.
