“Sometimes you don’t survive whole. You only survive in part. But the *grandeur* of life is that attempt. It’s not about the solution. It’s about being as fearless as one can and behaving as beautifully as one can under completely impossible circumstances.”

Lot of dunking on this as sign of impending apocalypse, but this is no different to typing "list of baby names" into a search engine is it? The headline is misleading: ChatGPT didn't "name" the baby, the people still chose the name. And it was only the middle name at that. Read critically, people!
The parents of the first baby born in 2026 in this county outside Baltimore got their name ideas from ChatGPT. Hudson Oakley Winkler.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.
You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.
That is all.
