I can relate.
A number of issues, not the least of which was my birther believing unironically that Obama was the Antichrist, led me to go no contact with my family for what will be an entire decade come this December.

For the "ThErE aRe WaYs To DiScHaRgE sTuDeNt DeBt!1!1!!" crowd:
I've been trying to get approved for SSDI since November 2020. I'm 36 and have an MBA with ~$156,000 in student loan debt.
I'm Autistic with PTSD, C-PTSD, Chronic Suicidal Ideation, Chronic Insomnia, Agoraphobia, Treatment-Resistant Depression, Multiple Anxiety Disorders, IBS-C, IBS-D, Fibromaylygia, Recurrent SIBO, potentially Sjögren's Syndrome (I had a saliva gland lip biopsy yesterday), Hypoglycemia, GERD, Anal Fissures, and the diagnoses keep growing.
I haven't been able to work since December 2019.
I received my FIFTH denial from SSA in late May (I took the first claim to the Appeals Council and started my second claim in October 2022 after the Appeals Council upheld the ALJ Denial). I'm currently trying to find a lawyer (again).
Granted, the above is anecdotal, but I have seen anecdotes like mine all over social media and IRL, especially with the pandemic and Long-COVID.
These "targeted student loan forgiveness options" are virtually impossible to receive, and you pretty much have to "spend" the equivalent of the student loan amount between lost wages and lawyer fees actually to have a chance to be eligible for them.
Student loan forgiveness needs to happen. It needs to be comprehensive and wide-ranging. It's not only the humane thing to do, it's the best chance of stabilizing our economy long-term (followed by climate change mediation and reversal).

I'm just getting started, but I'll become more active as I get used to Lemmy's interface.

I'm passionate about politics. I'm Autistic and you could say that politics is my special interest.

Well, we know what not to do after years of watching the abuse by the mods of r/politics. It should be open, simple, and reputable. Ban disinformation and hate speech, filter out tabloid sources, and focus on driving healthy conversations within the community.

It depends on your definition of "political views". Disinformation, hate speech, and anti-science propaganda that leads to people getting killed has no place in a civil community.
It's over the summaries of the books.
This is from The Verge's article:
In the OpenAI suit, the trio offers exhibits showing that when prompted, ChatGPT will summarize their books, infringing on their copyrights. Silverman’s Bedwetter is the first book shown being summarized by ChatGPT in the exhibits, while Golden’s book Ararat is also used as an example, as is Kadrey’s book Sandman Slim. The claim says the chatbot never bothered to “reproduce any of the copyright management information Plaintiffs included with their published works.”
If The Verge is correct and the lawsuit is over summaries, I don't see how the lawsuit would have any legal standing. But, then again, this SCOTUS hasn't really concerned itself with the legal standing requirement in lawsuits, so the lawsuit could hold but for the wrong reasons.
Under a sane legal system, the plaintiffs could only hope to get the summaries properly cited. But, we aren't exactly under a sane legal system.
I think a more appropriate comparison would be CliffNotes.
If they’re suing over summaries of their books and win, then the entire concept of the Cliff Notes company would be thrown into copyright liability, no?
AI does need to be regulated, but it needs to be regulated with common sense and forward-thinking. This lawsuit is not that.
