"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

i would have the Marine Corps hold Steven Spielberg's family hostage until he did a two season miniseries of book accurate adaptations of Jurassic Park and The Lost World
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

there were a couple weeks where i tried Perplexity to see if AI search engines were any good.
They aren't.
If you disagree let me make something clear: I am better at searching than you.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Grocery stores right around food holidays are enough to make one go feral.
Every person in a grocery store today has presumably

But there's also the fact that jettisoning foundational elements is literally throwing a whole-ass baby out with the bathwater. Alot of discourse comes from the "I can't believe this game has rules" crowd,which, let me tell ya, has been a major contingent since before my time (late 2nd/early 3rd)
