Things to think about when you're 'just playing around with' Chat GPT and those other tools.

Is asking ChatGPT to interpret a Xmas song or making it write your syllabus worth this to you?

Coming around on a terrible new opinion: it actually rocks how much Netflix sucks. "Obliterating most of film history so they can better jam you into watching 90 seconds of an inert sitcom that looks like it's happening inside of a Zyprexa ad" is actually the gambit, here. It's cool to spell it out.
THE STING (1973) is now the oldest American narrative film on Netflix — one of only 5 released before 1980 on the largest subscription streaming service in the U.S.

iPhone sales are down after they focus on AI instead of something people want. But Microsoft went all in on AI for Windows 11, they must be doing well—
They’re losing market share to windows 10, their own operating system that’s 9 years old.

"With this little device, you can slave your ability to receive serotonin and endorphins to a corporation, recreationally hate people you've never met to the point where it'll change your political beliefs, and doomscroll as you watch the real time collapse of society. Just $499.99."

Earlier on, I asked a question, looking for a source for a quote. Someone helpfully asked Chat GPT. The answer it gave was 100% wrong. (The answer that humans gave was right.)
Please stop asking it.
It doesn’t work. And it doesn’t help. Bad arseholes want you to use it. So stop. And everyone wins.

Art Spiegelman Won’t Shrink Back From Controversy
The artist has illustrated more than one contentious New Yorker cover in his career, chronicled in a new film, and his next project will be no less gutsy.
