Oh, but you see, it's not the machine's fault. The magic is in how you write the prompt! It's not "plan a trip to Mars for me", it's "hey GPT, plan a trip for me to Mars AND back".

Not that long time ago, this would have been an Onion article. Boy, morning coffe news headlines sure changed.
“I’ll declare war on you if you don’t give me the peace prize” is an incredible bit

brazil is on the way of implementing a similar age-verification system to the uk that is """for the children""" and if that ends up happening i'll have to shut down deck.blue

i'm operating under brazilian laws and i don't want to build a verification system that will do more harm than anything else

Finished Wayward Pines and Snowpiercer recently. Both went down smooth. I'm very much into dystopias lately, I wonder why?

Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood.

He's turning the homes into a compound.

That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe.

I don’t want to hear that billionaires can’t afford a wealth tax.

Speaking of guns, since the ostensible justification for having them in the US (standing up to government tyranny) is clearly bullshit, it seems the only reason for having them is to commit mass murder, shoot schoolchildren, kill hapless animals, commit suicide, or keep people from taking your guns.

After binge watching S2 of Severance (which was awesome), I needed to tip the balance so I finished watching Stick. Now it's not on par with Ted Lasso, but it's a good, cozy, feel good show. And Owen Wilson's voice and acting is so calming. He really wasn't faking it in Paint.

Our humanity is doomed. Syria finally had peace, only to be disturbed by power-hungry psychopaths no better than Russia. Fuck this world, fuck this timeline.
Israel has declared war on Syria, launching a massive terrorist attack on Damascus, bombing the Ministry of Defense and striking near the presidential palace. This is an open act of expansionism aimed at stealing Syria’s southern lands and natural resources.
