ChatGPT disagrees with you. I asked it if literacy was AI and it said:

"Literacy is the ability to read and write effectively, which is essential for communication and understanding the world."

Literacy is clearly not AI.

Your lived experience is just an anecdote. Nobody cares about your experiences as an individual, only population aggregates.

The entire world is American-centric because we've achieved total economic and cultural victory.

These other places should just catch up with the times, adopt American English, and accept their place in the world order.

Do you even _know_ how many preppers we pulled out of bunkers? Untold amounts of canned foods, wasted.

Books are just an end-around of our modern copyright system and should be banned so as to encourage our capitalist system.

All Sinitic writing systems should be turned into a syllabary so that pronunciation and meaning are colocated.

Guaranteed cross-cultural houseguest? Hell yeah, can’t wait for dinner. (I would take the original pitch.)

(Had to go dig that up; been a _long_ time since I've seen it dropped in a conversation.)

Your post advocates a

approach to fighting spam. Your idea will not work...

I can’t do Goldens. They age so fast and leave too soon.

Also, I only _just_ saw the “I long for leftist policies” tucked into a lament about walkability and presumably referring to Hong Kong.

wut.

Somehow they prioritized putting in an elevator in the middle of nowhere, approximately, which cut a full ten minutes off my “pushing a stroller” commute. (Even better, it happened before I needed the stroller.)

The delta now is like 30s.

Okay, so, slightly contrarian take, but: it depends.

Where I live in Kowloon (on landfill) I get by great with baby strollers, and the sidewalks are large enough such that my entire family regularly walks abreast.

Island is a shitshow.

Indeed. My comment was kind of tangential.

Since meeting you the number of times I have driven a car is probably countable in (low) two digits.

Since May 2019, probably a single digit.

This, and small kids, is precisely my calculation for why I haven’t bought it yet.

They’ll get me eventually but I don’t know if it will be before the first hardware revision. (OLED?)

If they ship another Breath of the Wild caliber game they can change the calculus.
