Here once again to say getting books from the library feels just as good as buying books does. Same arms full of the same books. Same nice little walk through the same aisles. Same brain tingles too. You can even do it right from your phone while you’re on the couch watching bake off. Seriously.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Mmmmmmmm hard disagree.
even within your own lifetime it is difficult to recall how much better everything you eat, drink, and touch is than it used to be
It is genuinely hard for most people to grasp how poor the past was.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

The problem, once again, is that "AI" is whatever the fuck the author wants it to be, and is essentially, "the computer does cool stuff!"
The first example in this article is basically a supercharged database, which is not generative AI. So it confuses the reader right from the start/
