I am so, so, SO sick of Sam Altman’s arrogance: in reference to the “writing quality” of an AI-generated Peanuts ripoff, Altman says in this recent interview, “If you can’t tell the difference, how much do you care?” A lot - I care a lot, you macho jerk.

Me too - U’m convinced that the flu it took weeks for me to recover from would have been much worse if I hadn’t gotten the vaccine
let me strongly recommend the flu shot to whoever hasn't gotten one for this season. i just had a *terrible* bout with the flu that almost certainly would have been WAY worse had i not been vaccinated
