I have to battle imposter syndrome so much, but even as self concious as I am, I love the creative process and what it can result in.
This idea that it needs to be efficient so that you can make more is so depressing to see from people.

Minister O'Donovan appears to be a complete incompetent, far out of his depth, with no real understating at all of the technology he's attempting to regulate. It's just embarrassing. We're long past the time when you could just shove any old eejit into roles that need real expertise and knowledge

OpenAI has since made the chatbot safer, but that comes with a tradeoff: less usage.
