Hot take, but no one should be using ChatGPT and any AI products in general.

Vatican to end Dei hiring policies.
BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.
This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei
If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

Hey cis dudes: If God had wanted you to have erections past middle age, or a full head of hair into your 40s, she would have just encoded those things into your genes. God doesn't make mistakes. If you need erections and hair to feel affirmed, that sounds like a mental health issue. Seek therapy.

I’ve never come near it, apart from immediately looking away from the AI overview if I forget to add “-ai” to Google.

On Boxing Day I booked a hotel in Liverpool with a vague sense of optimism that we wouldn't fall at the final hurdle.
In March I booked my train tickets with a growing belief that we might actually do this.
On Sunday, I'm going to be in Liverpool to watch us lift the Premier League trophy.
