I’m guessing a big part of the problem with our society is this deep confusion between what’s legal and what is decent.

Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s right. We shouldn’t abdicate morality to the legal system - that just creates Overton window creep.

Lies, damn lies and statistics Dept:

My house is hit by birds a few times a year

Sometimes two birds will hit the house in the same day within hours of each other.

A sample based on the two- bird hit, 🎯 can be used to claim my house kills thousands of birds a year

Nor do windmills cause cancer.

ChatGPT cannot reliably diagnose issues with the software on my Linux server. The idea that I would trust it with my medical records is just laughable, especially given they’re clearly monetizing your data.

Far as I’m concerned, only an idiot would do this.
