Am I the only one concerned when a 20-something woman says that she doesn't know how to read an analog clock?
Granted, here in Europe analog clocks are still more common than in the US because a lot of churches + city halls still have them plus they play a role in learning how to drive, but still?

I actually thought I had shared this on here and I hadn't. But if you want to look at why Tehran has to move it's climate change, yes, but it's genuinely fascinating as a failure of long term planning/ not understanding water supplies.

Is anyone putting together a list of people who killed themselves after chatting to AI or were encouraged by AI to kill themselves?
I think it's time to take most AI of the market and return to the drawing board because it's obviously not working.

So, keep them or donate? Especially since space in my new place is more limited.
