I've seen people say that getting attached to ChatGPT is like "believing the stripper really loves you", but that's not true. It's more like believing that the dryer personally composed that little jingle on a lonely sockless night just to win your affections.

RFK has the sex appeal of an old moth-eaten sock and anyone who thinks otherwise needs to have their brain scanned and to be evaluated for a stroke
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.
But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.

The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.

"Shifting hours." Honey, that's a reduction.
I've already seen a slow down in various branches at the PTO. I'm sure this will make things so much better. 🙄

my unifying theory of AI is that the people in Silicon Valley with the most concentration of wealth and power have never done real human activities. They've never written a note. They've never tried to cook. So they think this shit is both a miracle and something everyone who does things desires.
