When we were kids, wouldn't such a whiny, spoiled brat be smacked and told to sit in the corner? And all the other kids approved?

Why did the US decide it was better to elect him president? It's now acceptable, even admirable, to be self-serving?

You should go to such meetings too! If only to add 1 more sensible person to the mix. Even if you don't say anything, you're still 1 more person NOT applauding when crazy things are said.

AI tips fans,

I recommend the free web site TheBullshitMachines.com which explains GPT AI well, in simple layman's terms. No tech jargon. Despite the inflammatory name, it's a well-written, level-headed site. See:

Enjoy!

People say that GPT AI engines sometimes hallucinate. That's not true.

EVERYTHING a GPT AI says is a hallucination.

Most of it happens to be true, but the AI engine isn't trying to be true or false. Has no idea what that even means. See:

Enjoy!
